Proton.me uses dishonest marketing tactics

Originally when I signed up for proton unlimited they advertised it as being a student discounted plan not a coupon… Now I go to renew my membership, and it’s suddenly a coupon and not a plan anymore…. My account shows it as being a plan not a discount or coupon. It shows it as being a discounted plan. This is what is pushing me away from their service. Now going back to a free plan and using Mullvad VPN once again.

Well this reddit user knew it was a once use coupon. Maybe you misread something? Also I can’t find anything to do with a student discount / coupon on their site
