I used to think all those discount rumors were fake too, but after years of trying everything from fake coupon blogs to browser extensions, I realized Essaypay actually rewards timing more than anything. Their best discounts dont show up on the homepage they hit your inbox if youve already used the service once. I got my first real deal during finals week in 2023, right after Id placed an order; suddenly the follow-up email had an 18% returning student coupon. It felt random, but it wasnt their system tags repeat users. I also noticed our student debate group got a quiet collab deal from them through campus partners, which they never advertised publicly. A friend from Columbia told me the same thing happened during writing workshops. The funny part? The biggest code I ever used wasnt official at all it was shared on Reddit by someone who swore they found it through an old campaign, and it still worked. EssayPays discounts are a bit of a moving target, but if you keep your .edu email active, engage with their emails, and dont delete them too fast, youll catch those rare windows when the real savings drop.
