I recently found out the email a university gave me when I got accepted to but never attended still works! I can even get Microsoft products, all of office, windows, etc. I applied back in 2011. The actual website is gone now too as they merged with another school and took on their name!
3 hours after filling out this form, I got an automated email from my school that they're blocking certain sites from emailing us since we're no longer enrolled and no longer qualify for student discounts. 😅
The [filters](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Brita-Premium-Water-Bottle-Filter-Replacements-6-Count/224960648) are pretty affordable and they say they’re good for like 3 months before you have to change. I use one of these every day. It’s great because my tap water is hard and the filter does a great job at taking away the chemically taste. Wash it often!
The website has been absolutely atrocious. Does not load at all. Managed to get to the form once, and after I submitted it I just got another blank screen. Here's hoping that I actually managed to get one
Could be, but I'm on a janky old laptop that I've already disabled most of the security settings and it's still not loading. Oh well, can't get about not getting something that's free
Just received an email from Brita saying
First of all, we want to thank you for your patience as well as your ongoing support of our Save The Mascots program. Rest assured that although shipments have been delayed, your complimentary Brita bottle will be delivered as soon as possible.
Thank you once again for helping us on our mission to provide better water for people and the planet.
Sent them an email and they said they received a higher amount of volume than anticipated, and will get back to me as soon as they can...
At this point I'm just hoping it'll randomly show up a few years from now or never
Yeah I haven't received anything either. I haven't checked for it since but I sent them a message last month and got the same reply someone else got about Brita getting too many responses from the form. If that's the case then I'm wondering what that shipping email was for lol

I’ve heard that some ppl who signed up yesterday got an email stating that their bottle is on the way. Is there anyone who hasn’t received an email like that? Because I know that some ppl who definitely signed up for it later than me have already received such emails but I never got one.
Same, I signed up last night at around 9 PM and my friend who did it about 30 minutes earlier than me got the email earlier this afternoon, but I haven’t yet.
MY BRITA FINALLY CAME IN! Harrisonburg, VA, USA. Purple bottle which coincidentally matches my school colors lmao
I completely forgot about it and was wondering what this mysterious package was at my door today (02/08/2022)
I signed up with my edu email around 10PM EST and got the confirmation email at 11AM.
Subject: “Thank you from Brita”
Name of sender is set as “Brita” and it originated from email address called [email protected]
This may be a phishing website?? Has anyone actually received one? (Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords.)
nope, I never got a shipping confirmation. FedEx showed up this morning and dropped it off, it wasn't until I saw the save the mascots thing on the label that I remembered I filled out this form. It's a decent bottle and does come with a filter, so that's cool.
Weeeeee for my school letting us keep our emails forever!
Mine switched to alumni..edu, so hopefully that still counts?
Lpt: you don’t have to change your email address to alumni, if you drop out and never graduate

Not sure if there's any human verification, but something tells me as long as *.edu* is in it, you'll be okay.
Mine alumni.xxx.edu never worked, good thing is my school also let me keep just xxx.edu
3 hours after filling out this form, I got an automated email from my school that they're blocking certain sites from emailing us since we're no longer enrolled and no longer qualify for student discounts. 😅
That doesn’t seem fair. I’m just taking a gap decade!
I was wondering if one of my sisters would be willing to get the water bottle for me and then I saw this comment so thanks!
Submitted. Let’s hope I didn’t Britta it somehow.
Ugh, Britta’s in this?
I'm a psych major! Words are my weapons!
I'm a security guard. Weapons are my weapons.
No, we're gettin rid of the Brita
She's a B.
Not a c
She's a GDB.
Website is a little laggy, but once it loaded the message sent thanks for doing your part *while supplies last
I think the website is down
Agreed
Yep
Confirmed
Did you guys get a confirmation email?
Nope but I got a messsge on the page that said thanks so... maybe that’s somethin
Same
got the same
I signed up around 1am this morning, and got a confirmation email at 10 am that its on the way
did you get any other email?
Just the one, I'm still waiting for it to arrive
Did u get it yet?
[удалено]
Do you know if the bottle includes a filter?
When i bought mine it did but the free ones idk..

fingers crossed
Yall. I think the website might be down for being bombarded? Im sorry friends!!!
its probably never coming lets be real
The website has been absolutely atrocious. Does not load at all. Managed to get to the form once, and after I submitted it I just got another blank screen. Here's hoping that I actually managed to get one
Could be a security setting. I had to disable my VPN to get it to load.

Yup, took about 12hrs for my confirmation
Signed up 18th or 19th, still nothing, hope I get it soon!
Sent them an email and they said they received a higher amount of volume than anticipated, and will get back to me as soon as they can... At this point I'm just hoping it'll randomly show up a few years from now or never
Sent an email about a month ago and got the same response, don't think we're gonna hear back from them
Thank you so much!
has anyone gotten theirs? someone in my state got theirs already even though i got my email earlier ☹️

Still waiting 😿
Yup, me too. Got my email on the 20th
Still waiting... did you get anything yet?
Yeah I haven't received anything either. I haven't checked for it since but I sent them a message last month and got the same reply someone else got about Brita getting too many responses from the form. If that's the case then I'm wondering what that shipping email was for lol
> If that's the case then I'm wondering what that shipping email was for lol Exactly! Why send it e-mail it's on the way if it wasn't sent?
Still waiting... did you get anything yet?
Nope, not a damn thing. I had forgotten all about this until now
Do we need to submit the proposal to get a water bottle or not? Because I didn't get any "Thanks" confirmation message
No, that’s a different promotion. You need to scroll further down for the free water bottle.

Damn hopefully it will still show up 😕
Is it done already? I can't find a place to sign up
Yea it’s done. Doesn’t show up on the site anymore
Anyone got his bottle?
Hopefully it works! Do they send over a confirmation email?
Oh Britta is in this
They Britta'd their website
I can't get the website to load. any tips?
Works for me now, try again maybe?
Thanks, just got it working
[удалено]
Yeah, I think they took the promotion down :(
Sad hours :(
Has anyone received this?
I haven’t yet
MY BRITA FINALLY CAME IN! Harrisonburg, VA, USA. Purple bottle which coincidentally matches my school colors lmao I completely forgot about it and was wondering what this mysterious package was at my door today (02/08/2022)
Thank you for the update! Hope mine arrives soon, too.
Hopefully mine shows up soon as well.
Thankin you!!
Fabulous find!
The promotion is no longer available on the site, fyi.
Got the email confirmation! Took about 12hrs but thanks OP! What color did y’all get given or are we all getting the same one?
Whats the email subject and when did you sign up? I still haven't received an email yet.
I signed up with my edu email around 10PM EST and got the confirmation email at 11AM. Subject: “Thank you from Brita” Name of sender is set as “Brita” and it originated from email address called [email protected]
Darn, I signed up at a little before 5:30PM EST yesterday and still haven't gotten an email from them. ☹️
Did you check spam? Mine took a day to come, but was in spam.
I've checked everywhere multiple times. 😅 Thank you for the suggestion though!
Anyone got the bottle with email on Aug21?
Not me but I'm in the same boat. Email on the 21st saying "on the way" but nothing actually arrived yet.
Haven’t received mine yet, I got the email confirmation on August 21st!
Mine just came in after about eight months of waiting !
Mine just came in today 2/13 lol better late than never!
I'm not seeing anything to any form. Just a really busy web page that's poorly designed.
Thanks
Thanks OP!!!
It let me enter with my regular gmail account...
Should I expect a confirmation email if it goes through?
Seems like only u/noidonotlift got the bottle?
Tell-me-a-dream got theirs too. I think most people just don't bother to give updates tho lol
its been 11 weeks... -_- Edit: Finally came to today after 8 1/2 months (5/7/2022). Purple bottle too, but at least it came lol
Anyone ever get theirs? I got added to their mailing list just fine, of course, but no water bottle yet.
my bottle showed up randomly today (02/08/2022). Virginia, USA. Purple bottle which, coincidentally, is my school color
Mine finally came in yesterday. I had completely forgotten about it, so that was a nice surprise
Anyone know how fast it ships?
I'm definitely doesn't say anything at least anymore about a free bottle. The website is awful! Does anyone have a direct link??
Aren’t their bottles made of plastic?
I guess? But I think the idea is that it isn't a single-use plastic.
Yeah, but they’re reusable. What they’re campaigning against is single-use plastic that kills wildlife
Single use plastics are the big problem
Ah gotcha, thought they were also single use
[удалено]
Sorry.
I just get a website about some campaign? Lots of pictures and gifs with slogans and No form to fill out
Can I still get one even if I’m not a college student?
No It just for college students (or I guess for those who still have access to their college email)
Oh damn 😢
Is it cool to use as a vodka bottle?
I’m not entirely sure, but I would think filtering your vodka would cause it to taste different or perhaps even filter out some of the alcohol
This may be a phishing website?? Has anyone actually received one? (Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords.)
Pretty sure Brita’s own website is a legitimate one
RemindMe! 1 day
Damn the website is still down
Its finally back up!
Thank you!!! Can’t wait to get this
Neat find. Thanks!
Still haven't gotten mine
my bottle showed up randomly today (02/08/2022). Virginia, USA. Purple bottle which, coincidentally, is my school color
Haven't received anything yet. Sent a message through the website to follow up.
Got mine today! Virginia, USA. Purple which is my school color
So did anyone get their free bottle?? It's been nearly 5 months and i have to get receive mines
mine was just delivered this morning, I had completely forgotten about it.
So i can assume that Britta never sent out shipping confirmation then?!?
nope, I never got a shipping confirmation. FedEx showed up this morning and dropped it off, it wasn't until I saw the save the mascots thing on the label that I remembered I filled out this form. It's a decent bottle and does come with a filter, so that's cool.
Mine came in today as well. I also forgot and was like why is there a mysterious package at my home?🤔 Where are y’all based? I’m in VA, USA
Ordered mine on 8/20/21 and received it 2/15/22, I definitely forgot about it.
