Hat tip to DasApache
Update 1/14/21: This whole thing turned out to be an elaborate show of ‘artwork’ to emphasis the amount of student debt being accumulated. You can read more here and here.
Update 1/4/2021: They sent out an email update now indicating that the diplomas will be shipped back sometime in March.
Update 4/22/20: E-mails have been sent out to those who were selected. Payment will be made in the next three weeks. The e-mail subject line is ‘Natty Light Diploma Rental’
The Offer
- Natty light is offering $100 to rent your diploma. You need to fill out their rental form, they will then send a prepaid envelope out to you. You place your diploma in there, send it in and they will send $100 via the Cash App.
The Fine Print
- We cannot accept diplomas larger than 9.75″ x 12.25″
- If the Diploma is lost or stolen they will cover the cost to replace it up to $50
- Not valid in CA or TX
Our Verdict
They say they are doing this for ‘something big we are brewing up’. Probably worth checking to see how much a replacement Diploma costs and just using that if you’ve already got yours framed/just in case they lose it. Not sure how many people will be selected that fill out the form, but worth a try for $100.
