One thing I always forget about when I'm buying stuff is student discount. Sometimes student discount won't be of much value as there are usually better offers elsewhere, or there are other voucher codes floating around which make items cheaper than they would be if you were to use student discount. If you’re smart though, you'd be surprised by how much of your precious money you can actually save by taking advantage of student discounts and doing a little maths before you buy things.
I thought the information within a database that I compiled today would make a great post on here so I’m going to post it. I know many people on here are a huge fan of mega threads (e.g. the booze one) so I thought it would be nice to create a 2014 mega thread of student discounts across the UK. I know this post won't benefit everyone, but I'll leave this here for reference and update it throughout the year for the students on here. Some of you may even be able to suggest discounts that I’m unaware of :)

What utter load of rubbish.
Without 'students' how would we get our next generation of doctors, nurses, paramedics, nurses, lawyers, teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, accountants, architects, engineers etc.?
They'll pay their taxes after graduation and they'll be able to pass on their knowledge to the next generation.

The military drains the economy, whilst students (eventually) boost the economy. Student discounts are given as incentives to study, as most students have little money. What good is 10% off Pizza Hut in Afghanistan?

Students get degrees and go into higher paying jobs, meaning they end up paying more taxes then they originally would have without education. Supporting people to become educated should be a priority rather then supporting people to fight.

Good work!
Also, for ASOS if you don't have NUS Extra you can use UniDays which is free for 10% discount.
EDIT - UniDays also have the same for other retailers such as USC, Office, Urban Outfitters, Topshop, Topman, Bank, Burton, New Look, Boohoo etc. etc.

Thanks for the great post. I'd just like to add though that zavvi have a 10% discount through my uni days. Also GAME actually do 10% student discount too in store too. Except it can't be used on new releases or offers

Zavvi and The Hut have stopped now? No vouchers on Unidays.
I never really understood this concept. Why should troops get discounts over other people? They have a full paying job! Firefighters, nurses etc defend our country with risk to themselves too and surely should deserve the same special treatment.

Yep, I didn't go to uni and I've stabbed 22 people. It is inevitable that if you don't go to uni you'll definitely end up stabbing someone. Leave it out.
90% of students go to uni for an easy ride and achieve nothing but a piece of paper. The amount of people with degrees who still do the same part time job they did when they were younger is maasive. Although now they do it full time.

Students face massive fees, £9,000 a year just for tuition and on top of that they have living costs and accommodation. After the student loan you're left with about £200 for the year to spend on other things. Like food. Last time I checked the troops got a wage and a choice to join. Hot deal from me.
saffaboy101 to jw2014

And then they work at McDonalds for the rest of their lives and never pay the loans back. LOL well worth it.

1 Jan 14#136
So joining the forces is a choice, but becoming a student isn't? Flawed logic.
You may not agree with how the Government deploys our armed forces, but we sure as hell should support the men and women that serve us in many, many ways (not just fighting).
plebbygiraffe to jw2014
1 Jan 14#144
A choice to join the military? So students are forced to become a student and get those debts are they?
Interesting.
Anyway, it is all bullcrap - fact. It shows that regular Joes get mugged off. If companies can remain profitable by offering discounts to students, military, NHS staff, OAPs then they can offer them to everyone.

I don't know about you guys but I found the NUS card to be virtually useless,discounts in cinemas that weren't local to me, shops for women, 5% discount when you spend over £100! Any shops I did visit (like HMV or Game) just said they didn't accept them. At least mcdonalds got me a free cheeseburger with a meal, but I only needed my student card for that!
Good list anyway

Lol, student discounts aren't given as an incentive to study :-P. Why do businesses care whether people study or not! It's not like all discounts are government subsidised.
Student discounts are given purely because it allows companies to price discriminate and charge people with less money lower prices so they continue to buy their products without having to charge everyone lower prices. It has nothing to do with equity and fairness, it's purely a tool for companies to make more money

Virgin mobile do 15% discount on all tariffs.... I'm getting that exact discount on their unlimited SIM-only plan :smiley:
ALSO - To all the "military discount" screamers... What is this, the USA? If you want discounts, offer them to "frontliners" (Nurses, Teachers, firefighters etc).
Military personnel has enough subsidies as it is (before the hate replies..... the families dont, but THEY do, and I have family in the military).

I'm with the Open University and anyone with them can get a NUS Extra card, £32 for 3 years. Just a few meals out pays for it a couple of times over because it isn't just the card holder who gets the discount, it's the entire bill.
I agree with someone who pointed out that the Amazon discount isn't 5% on everything, a lot of things yes, but not everything.

There is also unidays.com for university students that gives you a range of discounts online

I'm a student and these discounts are rubbish. They're just bait to get you to waste loads of money at their store. The only reason students are 'poor' is because they waste all their money.
Tuition fees are paid by the government and you only have to pay them back when you are earning good money so the increase in fees has not affected students at all.

Not sure why the OP is asking people not to copy their discounts as it looks to me that they have copied and pasted from the NUS extra website to start with....... Anyone who has an NUS card can view all current discounts that the card will allow so not sure why there they have just copied and pasted the deals and then claiming it's their work.....

1 Jan 14#83
Wow I wasn't expecting this to go so got on here - was expecting comments like "not a proper deal" etc. haha :stuck_out_tongue:
Glad some of you appreciate the post though! The point of this post was to point out that you can save a lot of money if you play the game right when you actually need to buy something, and not just for the sake of it. By this I mean that you may be able to save more money using your student card than using a voucher code or cashback.
As for the whole student argument thing... Yes SOME students are lazy and only go to University for the "best 3 years of their lives" if you get what I mean. This day in age a degree is the only way to go though as there is a major shortage of jobs and there's no promise that you're going to get a long term job instantly after leaving school (this is from experience and I have friends who have been 'stuck in a rut' for over a year now as they just don't know how to pursue their career). I have to say that I find the comment about students ruining the country a bit blunt though - you do realise that a lot of the medical research done in this country is done by high ranked universities right?
And yes I will continue to update the list in the future. I have just noticed some typo's in this post as well as I had a few beers last night before typing this out. Will correct these now.
Happy new year all!

I think Students are brilliant and deserve all of our support. The simple reality is that without a Uni degree in today's Britain, you will have a very difficult time landing anything other than the most menial, unstimulating and low-paying of jobs. Some of us have greater ambitions than that. Also, while I don't wish to disrespect the troops, they don't really contribute to the economy. Students do, tremendously.

You apply on the NUS website, list your place of study and your student ID and you'll get a card - my place of study is really obscure and online and I have one. Try it.

Every university has to pay £50,000 (I believe - may be a lot more, forgotten now) to be part of NUS. Southampton University refuse to pay this, so they are excluded from NUS completely :disappointed: They say it is not value for money for the university.... We have a co-op outside the university (30m away) advertising 10% off if you have a NUS card ... even though no Southampton Uni student can get one :\

Does anybody know if discount codes for Unidays and NUS Extra can be used on sale items? My daughter thinks that they can't be and I've tried using several codes on-line and they've been declined for sale items - are there any shops, etc, that will actually accept codes on sale items? Thank you.

You seem critical of people that work at McDonalds. A job is a job at the end of the day, and good for them. As for the loan, it now has considerable interest on those that can repay the loan - so they recouperate their money anyway (Inflation + 2% I believe). And this is a deal for students, not student bashing.

I think you'll find the majority of money paid to us from taxes is actually a loan -- i.e. we pay it back. The rest should rightly be paid as an investment, since most students go on to higher paying jobs. We don't deserve discounts -- shops and businesses are not public services. If they want to give us discounts, that's up to them.
brendonboshell
1 Jan 14#110
Yeah, but for every one that's working in McDonald's, there's another one earning £150k per year paying out £60k per year in tax. There's extremes at both ends.

anubisrich
1 Jan 14#113
For every student working at McDonalds I very much doubt there is an equivalent earning 150k. I imagine it's more like 1:100.
I really don't understand why this has got so political. It's up to the retailers to offer discounts, this website is designed to identify said discounts. Retailers know that discounts buy brand awareness and they figure (probably correctly) that it's good to get future higher earners on board early.

so many bitter losers coming to this thread to complain about lost education opportunities for them. There are universities like berbeck who specialise in classes for older people.
Immoraliste to niqbal870
1 Jan 14#171
Not really.
I think the majority of the population, who do not have a university degree, can question why tertiary education isn't subjected to full market forces (thus wiping out the viability of 'Mickey Mouse' courses, or the option to doss along, not plan for a career, and then default on your loan due to low lifetime earnings, with no consequences). Why should the guy or girl who went into a trade or job at 16 feel they should subsidise the education beyond a secondary level of people who want to enter high-paying professions and industries?
Obviously it's a policy decision deemed to be in the best interests of society as a whole, but I don't begrudge those who have not been to university, and gone on to be net tax contributors, from taking exception to this.
University fees need to be increased still further in order for students to have significant enough incentive to demand that their courses are providing the skills that high paying employers require, and to determine that the vast majority choose degrees that have the greatest chance of providing them with greater earning potential. Incentive to join courses that lead to vital, but low paying, public sector work would be provided by bursaries funded by the relevant government departments; other than that, I don't see why students shouldn't pay their way in full.

Personally sad to see haters... Its the system not the people that should be hated... Students can be poor, I worked to help fund my degree fees and left with big debts but there are a lots of mommies and daddies supporting the majority of students at my uni.. which if the students on here are telling people to look at stats, then looking at that stat you can see the point the non students are making.. LOL... If students are that hard up how can so many be seen on the town eating out, holidays and drinking most nights?!!? - maybe all the discounts they are getting!! LOL I guess they see themselves hard up when compared to mommy and daddy monies... The Army deserves it in my eyes as much as students, they do get a wage but most cannon fodder are on 18K a year and risking their lives so we can have the freedom to study etc... what about TA ?? They get no wage...do they not deserve it?!?!

Just so you know, while statistics can be used to mislead, without statistics, the world would be a much worse, much more unsafe place to be. Statistics is used to for example:
- Predict the likelihood of flooding, and the occurrence period (I.E 100yr flood etc.)
- Determine adequate sample sizes for drug testing to determine whether or not certain effects are flukes, or if the drug is likely to cause negative effects in general populations.
- etc, the list could go on forever.
Yes you could argue that they don't provide factual data, but they provide a measure of data that would otherwise be impossible to quantify, and as such allow progression at a much faster rate. Testing a drug on everyone would be impossible and impractical, whereas working out a representative sample size that could quantify the drug as safe is both efficient and in 99.999% of cases, enough to show the true effects of that particular drug.
Its also worth noting that bookmakers use statistics to bring in a lot more money than you do. Not bad for something you call rubbish?
On the argument of students v military I would have thought it would be obvious. The military is a paid professional career. The military discount was/is given as recognition, not because they in any way need it. Students however do not have much money, and thereby offering these discounts will likely tempt students into such places, where otherwise they would potentially not go,
And yes, they could offer the student discounts to everyone and still make a profit but why would they? The discounts are used to lure students in. If nothing was discounted specifically for students it would defeat the purpose. Also the companies would all lose a lot of profit... The working man has money to pay full price. The student does not. Do not try to equate the two.
Yours sincerely,
Humble Student

I done things the wrong way round, I joined the army at 17 and done 12 years service. I left for family reasons to bleak job and career prospects. Both groups are deserving of discount anyone who's been to the USA will see the discounts that they offer the armed forces and sometimes their allies, (Disneyland was free for British soldiers). Student discounts offered aren't generally for daily necessary items and I would imagine or in place to "persuade" a student to part with some of the limited cash they have. Great thread btw.
Matty1255
1 Jan 14#178
Fair point but most of the discounts in this thread are for things I would consider luxury items to the average working person, things like days out at theme parks, fast food, branded clothes, mobile phone contracts, I'm all for discounts on public transport and places like staples but since when does a student need discount at mulberry's or topman.

Student haters need to get a grip - not every student is a spoilt brat sponging off their parents for three years at party central, in fact they are the minority. I do a long commute for two days at uni meaning 16 hour days and I work 4 days a week plus private study for my course, so I'm actually less lazy than most of the population and the only person subsidising anything is my fiancé, who works two jobs.

Though this will no doubt get lost within the posts by military worshippers, student (and military) discounts actually have nothing whatsoever to do with those groups of people being "worthy". It's economics - pure and simple. Why on Earth you think someone like the CEO of Amazon or Apple places students on a pedestal I have no idea!
The discounts exist as a way to attract those groups into the store and spend money - nothing more, nothing less. Students are a particularly popular group to target in this way as they generally have a high proportion of discretional spending (i.e. on clothes etc.) and often won't be brand-loyal. This is also the reason why banks hand out huge interest free overdrafts to them - get them early on and they'll likely be a customer for life.

Oh Sarah- don't be offended by some people and their ignorance. You're replying to someone who has no clue about how students can finance themselves through their studies. I took out a student loan and am happy to pay it off by doing a hard day's work which is the same as many other students. Others work to earn the money which pays off their tuition fees. That gilly is probably just bitter about their own failures :smiley:

In addition, the benefits such as reduced healthcare, free glasses and dentist, railway travel are benefits of being in the army.

To the comments about Armed forces, there is this https://www.defencediscountservice.co.uk/ an official discount service too, as similar for students. Heat for this post, effort alone and helps students. My daughter is at University, gets no help, grants are non existent, she only has the 3 x 9000 as a loan and her living allowance is also a loan, not grant which does not cover all her costs, we top her up. So students need all the help they can.

Think logically people here. How does the military drain the economy? If it wasn't for the military show of force the UK being a tiny island that wouldn't of conquered a 1/3 of the world in the past making the UK it's wealth which stands today. If it wasn't for all the victories we would be no richer than lets say and African country trying to just survive. Just to let you know I pay taxes and national insurance (around £700 per month!!) as well as all my money going back into the economy which to say the majority of students haven't contributed yet and actually drain resouces by having to borrow large lumps of money with possibly never having to pay it back if they fail to achieve I think it stand at 23k a year?

You could add to the list:
Computer science students get full MS Visual Basic Studio software FREE. I've heard you can also claim a free Windows OS license.
Computer science students also get a free 3 month trial of Marmalade and an extended 3 months if they release a prototype app within that first 3 months.
HP online give you access to a Staff & Student discount store, with 10% savings on New laptops and computers. You need to register with your university email address.
Again for CS students, if you register as a Xbox developer MS will send you 2 free development kits (Xbox consoles).
Register as a developer for Windows app store and release an app to get a free Windows phone from Microsoft.

Missed one important one...
Council Tax! Students pay 0 council tax under most situations.
If living in a shared house (with non-students, i.e. parents/family) then the household gets a 25% discount on council tax.

Don't forget the 10% Zavvi student discount via Unidays, has proved very useful to me over the years.

2 Jan 14#233
Well you can check for yourself I'm sure, but since the new year zavvi have not been on Unidays as I wanted to buy the ps4 controller using the code on new years eve and it wasn't on the website. The voucher excluded console/entertainment but as it was going through (as a glitch) they had a huge deficit on gaming with people getting ps4's for like 320 quid so they now stopped, is what I believe to had happened.

Although I agree with you, but I think sellers are not thinking from this perspective.
They are looking at Client Lifetime Value. It's a very smart move to attract customers from Uni with small discounts.
1. Shopping habits you had in your young adulthood like a lot other things can stick with you for the rest of your life, so the client retention rate is very high.
2. Because students with Uni degrees are more likely to be better payed in future. It's always easier for business to get a bigger slice from a bigger pie.
But anyway, enjoy the discounts while you can :-)
Gregsizzle
2 Jan 14#239
NOOOOOO! Gah, had I known they were going to stop it, I would have purchased the 10 items in my basket before the new year. :disappointed:
With regards the development kits we were definitely told in a presentation that we could get them. It may have been that you release an app first (that way you are a 'professional' and not just a student). I need to find the details from my university email then I'll post them here.
According to a FOI request - the majority of NHS staff are immigrants. And before I get jumped on like some kind of daily mail reading right wing extremist nut... I actually think that's a good thing. They have a hard work ethic, zero sense of entitlement and don't suffer from the 'gimme' attitude that British students seem to - as highlighted by this post. Plus, skilled migrant labour is MUCH MUCH less of a drain on the economy (again - as highlighted by this post)
Unfortunately, while we do have tremendous talent in this country, it is far cheaper to employ a trained Dr from overseas. It isnt fair, and I don't agree with it but that is simple economics. With the money it costs to train a someone here in Britain through A-levels, 5yrs of Med School and then their T1 and T2 years, you can employ a trained Dr from - say - Bangladesh and pay their salary for about 9 years - at which point you then 'break even' and have no financial gain/loss... however for that investment you'd then have an inexperienced and newly qualified British Dr or a Bangladeshi consultant with 10+ years of clinical exposure.

Don't think if you are not a student you can't get a discount.
If it advertises 10% off for students - eg a clothing store - go the checkout first and ask if they will give you one. Your money is the same as the student in front of you and a business would be bonkers to turn it down.

Showcase Cinema's also offer around 20% discount to students. Just present your student ID on ANY day of the week:
Yeah its great they have a good work ethic... except when you need them to explain something and you understand about 1 out of every 3 words that come out of their mouths because they can't speak proper English. It's incredibly difficult for old people.

The thing I hated about student discounts when I worked at HMV a few years ago was how students would ask for discounts on GAMES CONSOLE! It wasn't valid on consoles, thankfully, as student discount (imo) should only be useable on essentials like food and clothing.
Heat added.

Student discounts aren't about altruistic it is sound business sense: every business wants customers who will have the highest disposable income. Students are more likely (though it is true in no way guaranteed) to be higher earners and therefore have more disposable income and therefore spend more with companies.

More importantly is it ethical to have this brain drain on poorer countries? Do the British need that skilled consultant more than the Bangladeshis?
JC_Maven
12 Feb 14#276
Kinda hot, my only qualm is that most off the high-street stuff is marked up like 40% from it's true value so even with 10-20% you're still buying something likely to be mass-produced in china and still cost you quite a bit. Thanks for the extensive list though, maybe in the future we can get one for 'odd deals' nationwide student deals that most people haven't heard off.

In my quest to make the most of my student status before I leave in a few months, I have just taken out the free 3-year license for AutoCAD. I have no need for nor really know how to use AutoCAD, but it's a £4100 piece of software for free, so... xD
Anyway, they don't even ask for a student e-mail address when you sign up, just your uni's web address. Anyone can just go on, paste a random uni's website into it when signing up and they'll get a 3-year license as well, not that I'm suggesting it. :wink:

Right all the students walk out and say find us a job! Lets see how the ensalved mass rat race workers like that. Fancy that dole bill! I feel sorry for our students, they bust a gut on A levels, then go into massive debt and pay their own way through university, by robbing from their future. When the truth is, we got nowhere for these youngster - in fact they are paying their own dole for 3 yrs and most them teach themselves at uni too! That's the truth of it. Cut them some slack, soon it will be your son or daughter.

The British Army prides itself on educating it's personnel, I for one am an example of that gaining a HND in electronic engineering and a BSc(Hons) in Diagnostic Radiography during my time in. Not all aspects of the military involve fighting, believing that only shows a lack of education from yourself. Having a degree in some random subject does not instantly give access to higher paying jobs also.
I believe students should get discounts, they are skint after all and every little helps. I just hate Squaddie bashers. Soldiers today are not the soldiers of yesterday.

Yours Tom ex-Student (twice BSc and MSc) and ex-Bootneck & student discounts are not given as an incentive to study, businesses are targeting young people while they are choosing to buy goods and services for the first time to try to make them loyal to those particular brands for life so that the business will have a long term revenue stream - there's nothing altruistic about them at all (although that's no reason not to take advantage of them when you can)

Dear xxxxx
Thank you for your email received 14 February 2016.
I am sorry to hear that your NUS student card does not work on our site. I can confirm that unfortunately we do not accept NUS student cards anymore for our Arcadia branded sites. We do still honour student discount, however it is via a different method.
For future orders I would advise using the Student Beans codes or the Unidays site as advertised on our website. All you would need to do is sign up, verify your student email address and get your student discount code instantly.
Please be advised these codes have an expiry time and you must be signed in to both the student beans site as well as our website for the codes to work.
If there is anything further I can help with, please do not hesitate to contact me by replying to this email address.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards,

I went back and asked retrospectively but was told once I had bought the ticket I couldn't have the discount. What made me laugh at the helicopter museum near bristol I showed him my student card to get the concession price and then he wanted me to gift aid my admission money. I said "I don't pay tax, I'm a student" ! Anyway both venues were worth visiting with 9 and 7 year old boys

How can you say the military is a drain on the economy, its thanks to the brave men and women who put themselves in harms way that the economy is where it is at the present time. They go through things that are unimaginable to you and I am sure you wouldn't want to face in your worst dreams. People have given up their lives to protect this country and to give people the right to live as they do. A lot of those that have served in the military are some of the most experienced and respected people in their fields from Dr's who have served in the front line saving service personnel's lives and using treatments that are only now being used in nhs hospitals. They also have to deploy for months at a time away from loved ones, partners, children, brothers, sister and that's if they are lucky to return and all the while get 20 mins a week allowance to phone home and talk to those they have left behind. No internet due to security threats, where as I am sure the longest you have been away from a family is a term at uni or a few weeks away on holiday with friends. Bare a thought for them and all the while they are away they are still paying tax and national insurance to the government yet you students who I applaud for continuing to gain an education and better yourselves have the gaul to say that the military are a dain in the economy or don't deserve anything. I think you should possibly considered exactly what they have given up to allow you to be where you are today, and be thankful you can be given all these benefits, and I think the armed forces need a bit more respect and should be shown this with some discounts awarded like students. If you feel I have been to harsh then I dare you to join the armed forces and serve and see how you feel afterwards.

I know it was supposed to be renewed at start of September but there was issues and instead the previous code got extended until yesterday - which was no good to me as I'd already used all my promo credit up. This was due to issues they were having. Hopefully they will get it sorted out though, as it was definitely my most used discount and I renewed for three years because of it a few months back.

You're an idiot. You must surround yourself in very exclusive circles. Hardly anybody from my school went to uni and most people I know have highly paid, highly skilled, and highly rewarding jobs, without a degree!
Also soldiers contribute massively to the economy. Why do you think local communities get upset when a nearby base looks like it might close? Because all those soldiers prop up the local economy by spending all their money there.

And not only that, us students once we graduate and get into work pay a higher tax rate due to the extra from the students loan company (to pay back the tuition fees over time).
Although saying that, there is a clause that if the "debt" is still there after when the person is around 50 then it gets waived. I know some girls who take their studies, get married and never work again (implying they would never pay back the tuition fees), there should be a law in which case that tax gets passed onto the working husband.

Opening post
I thought the information within a database that I compiled today would make a great post on here so I’m going to post it. I know many people on here are a huge fan of mega threads (e.g. the booze one) so I thought it would be nice to create a 2014 mega thread of student discounts across the UK. I know this post won't benefit everyone, but I'll leave this here for reference and update it throughout the year for the students on here. Some of you may even be able to suggest discounts that I’m unaware of :)
To find a particular retailer / discount:
CTRL + F (Windows)
CMD + F (Mac)
Enjoy!

Without 'students' how would we get our next generation of doctors, nurses, paramedics, nurses, lawyers, teachers, scientists, entrepreneurs, accountants, architects, engineers etc.?
They'll pay their taxes after graduation and they'll be able to pass on their knowledge to the next generation.
Your sincerely,
Dr Karlie88 (previous medical student who studied at University and got loads of student discounts for 5 years).

Also, for ASOS if you don't have NUS Extra you can use UniDays which is free for 10% discount.

Sometimes I heat because of bad English.
I hope this will go some way in encouraging teenagers (and grown ups) to be students (and continue to study further) to progress well in their lives - in turn taking them away from the knife and gang culture!
90% of students go to uni for an easy ride and achieve nothing but a piece of paper. The amount of people with degrees who still do the same part time job they did when they were younger is maasive. Although now they do it full time.

Hope you can keep this updated on a regular basis
You may not agree with how the Government deploys our armed forces, but we sure as hell should support the men and women that serve us in many, many ways (not just fighting).
Interesting.
Anyway, it is all bullcrap - fact. It shows that regular Joes get mugged off. If companies can remain profitable by offering discounts to students, military, NHS staff, OAPs then they can offer them to everyone.
Good list anyway
Student discounts are given purely because it allows companies to price discriminate and charge people with less money lower prices so they continue to buy their products without having to charge everyone lower prices. It has nothing to do with equity and fairness, it's purely a tool for companies to make more money
ALSO - To all the "military discount" screamers... What is this, the USA? If you want discounts, offer them to "frontliners" (Nurses, Teachers, firefighters etc).
Military personnel has enough subsidies as it is (before the hate replies..... the families dont, but THEY do, and I have family in the military).
p.s. I believe Virgin Mobile still do a student discount - http://mobileoffers.virginmedia.com/NUS/
I agree with someone who pointed out that the Amazon discount isn't 5% on everything, a lot of things yes, but not everything.
Oh and check out http://www.britishforcesdiscounts.co.uk/ for UK Military discounts, both squaddies and Students deserve discounts.
Tuition fees are paid by the government and you only have to pay them back when you are earning good money so the increase in fees has not affected students at all.
Glad some of you appreciate the post though! The point of this post was to point out that you can save a lot of money if you play the game right when you actually need to buy something, and not just for the sake of it. By this I mean that you may be able to save more money using your student card than using a voucher code or cashback.
As for the whole student argument thing... Yes SOME students are lazy and only go to University for the "best 3 years of their lives" if you get what I mean. This day in age a degree is the only way to go though as there is a major shortage of jobs and there's no promise that you're going to get a long term job instantly after leaving school (this is from experience and I have friends who have been 'stuck in a rut' for over a year now as they just don't know how to pursue their career). I have to say that I find the comment about students ruining the country a bit blunt though - you do realise that a lot of the medical research done in this country is done by high ranked universities right?
And yes I will continue to update the list in the future. I have just noticed some typo's in this post as well as I had a few beers last night before typing this out. Will correct these now.
Happy new year all!
So is the doctor you run to with your problems....
The list goes on & on
Heat!!
I really don't understand why this has got so political. It's up to the retailers to offer discounts, this website is designed to identify said discounts. Retailers know that discounts buy brand awareness and they figure (probably correctly) that it's good to get future higher earners on board early.
• Books, office and stationery - save on all your course needs
• MP3, Music and DVD - save on the latest downloads, albums and films
• Grocery - at Amazon grocery you can save money on everything from Oreo cookies to Fluff!
• Jewellery and watches - perfect for presies or just to treat yourself
• Personal Care Appliances and Health & Beauty - cover all your cosmetic needs and save as you go
• DIY & Tools, Lawn & Garden, Kitchen & Home - get your house in shape and save with Amazon
• and Automotive, Pet Supplies, Baby and a whopping 10% discount on Clothing from casual jeans and t-shirts to formal wear and killer party outfits!
Students these days tut tut.....
Sterling effort, thank you :smiley:
I like this consolidated post though :smiley: Heat added
:confused: Agree - also agree military should get something also - doesnt mean cant appreciate the effort JJMPSP put in to make students aware - and Hey if they saving money be draining less of your taxes lol :stuck_out_tongue:
I think the majority of the population, who do not have a university degree, can question why tertiary education isn't subjected to full market forces (thus wiping out the viability of 'Mickey Mouse' courses, or the option to doss along, not plan for a career, and then default on your loan due to low lifetime earnings, with no consequences). Why should the guy or girl who went into a trade or job at 16 feel they should subsidise the education beyond a secondary level of people who want to enter high-paying professions and industries?
Obviously it's a policy decision deemed to be in the best interests of society as a whole, but I don't begrudge those who have not been to university, and gone on to be net tax contributors, from taking exception to this.
University fees need to be increased still further in order for students to have significant enough incentive to demand that their courses are providing the skills that high paying employers require, and to determine that the vast majority choose degrees that have the greatest chance of providing them with greater earning potential. Incentive to join courses that lead to vital, but low paying, public sector work would be provided by bursaries funded by the relevant government departments; other than that, I don't see why students shouldn't pay their way in full.
I have a degree.. I think non special degrees are just a piece of paper.. where as legal. medical degrees are worth while
Yours clothing do a 10% discount in-store when a student or nus card is presented.
Have some heat !
I found that the HMV in Canterbury only offers student discount during the first 2/3 months of term starting/end of summer time, I can't remember the exact dates. Hope that helps :smiley:
But on topic, thanks for the thread OP well done!
- Predict the likelihood of flooding, and the occurrence period (I.E 100yr flood etc.)
- Determine adequate sample sizes for drug testing to determine whether or not certain effects are flukes, or if the drug is likely to cause negative effects in general populations.
- etc, the list could go on forever.
Yes you could argue that they don't provide factual data, but they provide a measure of data that would otherwise be impossible to quantify, and as such allow progression at a much faster rate. Testing a drug on everyone would be impossible and impractical, whereas working out a representative sample size that could quantify the drug as safe is both efficient and in 99.999% of cases, enough to show the true effects of that particular drug.
Its also worth noting that bookmakers use statistics to bring in a lot more money than you do. Not bad for something you call rubbish?
On the argument of students v military I would have thought it would be obvious. The military is a paid professional career. The military discount was/is given as recognition, not because they in any way need it. Students however do not have much money, and thereby offering these discounts will likely tempt students into such places, where otherwise they would potentially not go,
And yes, they could offer the student discounts to everyone and still make a profit but why would they? The discounts are used to lure students in. If nothing was discounted specifically for students it would defeat the purpose. Also the companies would all lose a lot of profit... The working man has money to pay full price. The student does not. Do not try to equate the two.
Yours sincerely,
Humble Student
I am just hoping computer science is the way forward !.
There are many people I know who have not got jobs in their field after Uni and then of course I know people who have its all about what degree you do !.
Look up a website called UNI Stats
looks like il have to sign up to NUS for 20
This card is sweet i get 2 big macs and 2 med fries for 4 quid with this bad boy :smile:
It pays for itself within a couple of weeks well worth the money!

Heat added.
It's also worth signing up to my uni days for a lot of those places.
Great post ! X
Student haters need to get a grip - not every student is a spoilt brat sponging off their parents for three years at party central, in fact they are the minority. I do a long commute for two days at uni meaning 16 hour days and I work 4 days a week plus private study for my course, so I'm actually less lazy than most of the population and the only person subsidising anything is my fiancé, who works two jobs.
The discounts exist as a way to attract those groups into the store and spend money - nothing more, nothing less. Students are a particularly popular group to target in this way as they generally have a high proportion of discretional spending (i.e. on clothes etc.) and often won't be brand-loyal. This is also the reason why banks hand out huge interest free overdrafts to them - get them early on and they'll likely be a customer for life.
That's why I prefer HUKD to MSE.
Voted hot for the content, though :-)
Just a cheap way to try and get heat.
Give the discounts to students when they get a job
But then again not all students get degrees
Computer science students get full MS Visual Basic Studio software FREE. I've heard you can also claim a free Windows OS license.
Computer science students also get a free 3 month trial of Marmalade and an extended 3 months if they release a prototype app within that first 3 months.
HP online give you access to a Staff & Student discount store, with 10% savings on New laptops and computers. You need to register with your university email address.
Again for CS students, if you register as a Xbox developer MS will send you 2 free development kits (Xbox consoles).
Register as a developer for Windows app store and release an app to get a free Windows phone from Microsoft.
Just found this:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers/faq
"Q: I am a student and want to learn on a dev kit, how or where do I get one?
A: We currently do not offer dev kits to students or Universities. Dev kits licenses are only offered to professional game development companies that have passed our rigorous qualification process."
Got me excited there for a second :disappointed:
Council Tax! Students pay 0 council tax under most situations.
If living in a shared house (with non-students, i.e. parents/family) then the household gets a 25% discount on council tax.
Although 20% off in Nandos! Love that place! :smiley:
for being students
They are looking at Client Lifetime Value. It's a very smart move to attract customers from Uni with small discounts.
1. Shopping habits you had in your young adulthood like a lot other things can stick with you for the rest of your life, so the client retention rate is very high.
2. Because students with Uni degrees are more likely to be better payed in future. It's always easier for business to get a bigger slice from a bigger pie.
But anyway, enjoy the discounts while you can :-)

Unfortunately I've just checked the free windows phone and marmalade extended trial offer but it seems to have expired: https://www.madewithmarmalade.com/offers/wp8
With regards the development kits we were definitely told in a presentation that we could get them. It may have been that you release an app first (that way you are a 'professional' and not just a student). I need to find the details from my university email then I'll post them here.

Unfortunately, while we do have tremendous talent in this country, it is far cheaper to employ a trained Dr from overseas. It isnt fair, and I don't agree with it but that is simple economics. With the money it costs to train a someone here in Britain through A-levels, 5yrs of Med School and then their T1 and T2 years, you can employ a trained Dr from - say - Bangladesh and pay their salary for about 9 years - at which point you then 'break even' and have no financial gain/loss... however for that investment you'd then have an inexperienced and newly qualified British Dr or a Bangladeshi consultant with 10+ years of clinical exposure.
Thanks to everyone that has posted discounts I didn't know about too. I will update this list with when I have the time for it.
I think code 1304 takes 5 quid of your order though if it helps.
If it advertises 10% off for students - eg a clothing store - go the checkout first and ask if they will give you one. Your money is the same as the student in front of you and a business would be bonkers to turn it down.

Amazon only offer 5% discount in certain departments (check NUS website NUS Extra - Amazon)
French Connection offer a student discount in store (15% I think, NOT including sale items)
HMV Newcastle didn't give me any student discount (just before Christmas 2013)
Armani Exchange - 10% I think might be 15%
Heat added.
Heat anyways. :confused:
I tried in store while holding my student card in my hand, can't remember the details but I do remember it certainly wasn't automatic and it wasn't worth the hassle for the money off.
For some reason the London store always seems to have rude staff, but then perhaps that's just London
Just remember though that next time you need to see a doctor or a nurse for example that they were all students once.
I have a student card but that's because I am studying with the OU for a degree whilst working full time.
But yeah if you like, a bag of sh ite
Anyway, they don't even ask for a student e-mail address when you sign up, just your uni's web address. Anyone can just go on, paste a random uni's website into it when signing up and they'll get a 3-year license as well, not that I'm suggesting it. :wink:
There is a pizza hut in Afghan!
And yes I am a student. :sunglasses:

The registration didn't go through directly for one of my kids, but it took a day for them to confirm the format of the email address.

Works for non graduates too!
I believe students should get discounts, they are skint after all and every little helps. I just hate Squaddie bashers. Soldiers today are not the soldiers of yesterday.
Do a search on here, been posted a few times now, plus it's lifetime student as well.
Yours Tom ex-Student (twice BSc and MSc) and ex-Bootneck & student discounts are not given as an incentive to study, businesses are targeting young people while they are choosing to buy goods and services for the first time to try to make them loyal to those particular brands for life so that the business will have a long term revenue stream - there's nothing altruistic about them at all (although that's no reason not to take advantage of them when you can)
Thank you for your email received 14 February 2016.
I am sorry to hear that your NUS student card does not work on our site. I can confirm that unfortunately we do not accept NUS student cards anymore for our Arcadia branded sites. We do still honour student discount, however it is via a different method.
For future orders I would advise using the Student Beans codes or the Unidays site as advertised on our website. All you would need to do is sign up, verify your student email address and get your student discount code instantly.
Please be advised these codes have an expiry time and you must be signed in to both the student beans site as well as our website for the codes to work.
If there is anything further I can help with, please do not hesitate to contact me by replying to this email address.
Thank you for your patience.
Kind regards,
I get both military discount and student discount (be creative folks, not hard)
Such is life.....
How to claim:
This one seems to be one of the discounts that rarely work but it’s worth bringing your student card along with you and asking"
You can ALWAYS get a free cookie a day with your student card at any Subway across the UK.
Also soldiers contribute massively to the economy. Why do you think local communities get upset when a nearby base looks like it might close? Because all those soldiers prop up the local economy by spending all their money there.
10-20% discounts available at Lenovo shop, confirmed 10% discount for me on a £900 laptop.
15% Off Brewdog - Craft Beer & Food between 12 and 5pm (https://www.brewdog.com/lowdown/blog/student-discount-in-uk-brewdog-bars)
Although saying that, there is a clause that if the "debt" is still there after when the person is around 50 then it gets waived. I know some girls who take their studies, get married and never work again (implying they would never pay back the tuition fees), there should be a law in which case that tax gets passed onto the working husband.
