This is so interesting. Unless this is a pilot, don't understand why only on specific days would they do student deal? Why not just let students do their 20p off whenever they need?

Heck, make it one use only, but let them do this when they want, not when you want them to do this, IKEA. 😡

Went through the verification and got an email with a "use code" link but not seeing any code on the email. And the "use code" link simply directs you to IKEA website. No discount shows up automatically on checkout either.

Anyone had any luck using this discount?

Don't waste your time. IKEA/SheerID failed to configure the promotion correctly. It returns an empty {rewardCode}.
{"verificationId":"...","currentStep":"success","rewardCode":null,"redirectUrl":"https://www.ikea.com/us/en/campaigns/starting-college/","rewardData":{},"consumerInfoState":null}

So everyone else knows to avoid IKEA that weekend.

It could also be an easy way to collect more data on who purchases what. I presume most college students aren't buying their 1k plus items or having kitchens designed.

Same for me too. Email came from [email protected], had the Ikea logo and said "here is your code".....but no code and a button that takes me to Ikea website where I am giving no discount.

I can't believe how much of a failure this was. They never even made an attempt to fix it or follow up. Hilarious

I never got a follow-up. I guess I will chat with their customer service and show them the screenshots. I had plans to buy $1000 in furniture so that 20% off was kind of a big deal…

Is their customer service usually responsive to these kind of things?

Why on earth would a furniture store run a student promo at the END of the semester? Shouldn't they be doing this at the beginning during move in? Or are they targeting graduating seniors (who likely hasn't found a new place yet either)?

I received a code and it said it would be sent to my email, but was not. Good thing I saved it before the side-panel disappeared!
