May I use the same credit card to create multiple accounts (two or more), and apply the $200-per-year student credit to each account?

From my experience, you can usually use the same card for billing on more than one account, but you won’t be able to claim the student credit on each one — that promo is tied to a single verified student identity, not the payment card. If you’re hoping to get multiple $200 credits, that won’t work. If you just want to pay for extra accounts with the same card, that’s generally fine.
Hey!
You can use the same credit card for multiple accounts, but the $200 student credit can only be applied to one account.
Keep in mind that creating multiple accounts just to get extra credits is against the terms and can lead to the accounts being locked or suspended.
