#22Earlier quoted context omitted.
McGill University doesn't use an .edu domain, I tried signing up in case they included it anyway but got nothing.
That's interesting... (and a little too bad for you, since a lot of systems will give you student discounts and all just for the .edu email address), how come it is that way? Is that a thing with a lot of Canadian universities, or?
Yeah it's a shame. The wiki page for ".edu" specifies "Since 2001, new registrants to the domain have been required to be United States-affiliated institutions of higher education, though before then non-U.S.-affiliated—and even non-educational institutions—registered, with some retaining their registrations to the present."
So it definitely has a US bias.

Same here, with an @uw.edu e-mail address.
@seas.upenn.edu didn't seem to work.
@umail.ucsb.edu didn't work either but I already have a Coinbase account that I registered from this IP address, maybe it is something to do with that?
Anyone from Coinbase confirm this?

@cs.ucsb.edu doesn't work either. I've never used Coinbase before in my life.

#25ANU student here, can confirm it works with .edu.au emails How do they stop people taking advantage of the ability to create an arbitrary amount of email accounts?
It seems like they're detecting browser user agent (and possibly IP)
Re: $10 Of Free Bitcoin For College Students
#26It looks like their list extends beyond .edu domains. I just registered with an @uwaterloo.ca email and received 0.02266 BTC.

#28> This offer is good for select .edu domains only . We have tried to include the top 500 universities worldwide (this is not U.S. focused) . I’m not aware of a university outside of the US that uses a .edu TLD…
I'm an engineer at Coinbase. There are definitely many non-US domains included (e.g. .ac.CCTLD and .edu.CCTLD).

http://monash.edu is based in Australia. It also apparently has campuses in Malaysia, South Africa, India, Italy and China.
There's also the embarrassingly bad http://australia.edu/, which is not a university and even has public signup for @australia.edu emails. Perhaps that will allow access to this promotion.

In New Zealand it's .ac.nz. We're screwed whenever there's .edu sales/offers.
Fellow kiwi here. Most NZ universities are included.
