HUKD's member Henlans (real name Shang Tsung) seen here being deported back to his homeland of Cambodia for his part in the 2015 NUS card scandal. The scam rocked the foundations of the UK commerce market, costing retailers- such as The Co Operative society -upwards of £12 per store.

If this makes me a student and i can have an NUS card, would i also be entitled to 25% off my council tax????

Student Unions across the country are going to be full of drunk old men pretending they are Writing Childrens Stories!

I’m in!

I think people are selling this as a lot more than it is. You cannot get Amazon prime discounted with it, you cannot get a student rail card, this is all rubbish. It is for small discounts at certain stores and that is about it.

NUS Extra card is only worthwhile for non-students nowadays ironically, as for students most discounts are available via unidays, Amazon being the main exception.

does this give you a .ac.uk / educational email address too?

Mega heat! Thanks OP

I don't think so, just signed up.

Heat added Henlans thank you :smiley:

You get a card with this deal.

This link shows all the benefits you get with the card and online

In order to take advantage of the NUS Extra Student Discount, you must collect your own personal 5% discount code right here on our NUS extra Amazon page. This code will entitle you to 5% off Books (excluding Kindle books), CDs, DVDs, Office Products, Jewellery & Watches, Grocery, Personal Care Appliances, Health & Beauty, Shoes, Sports, Tools, Lawn & Garden, Automotive, Kitchen & Home and Pet Supplies items.

To make a purchase on Amazon.co.uk using the discount codes, simply follow the steps below:
1.Select the items sold by Amazon you wish to order using your shopping basket, then proceed to checkout. (Please note, you cannot use the 1-Click shopping method.)
2.On the “Review your order” page you'll see a box headed “Gift cards & promotional codes”.
3.Enter your discount code into the box and click the “Apply” button. You’ll be able to see your discount deducted from the total cost in the order summary.

When you have successfully placed your order, the following message will be displayed: “Thank you--we have received your order”.

Please note: To take full advantage of your NUS Extra Student Discount you must purchase items eligible for the 10% discount and items eligible for the 5% discount in separate orders. If you combine items eligible for different discounts in the same order, only one discount will apply, and will apply only to the items to which it relates.

Once you have made a purchase on Amazon.co.uk using a discount code, that discount will apply to all eligible purchases. You will not need to add it again. Discount codes expire on 31 August 2015.

Please note: When using the discount for the first time, all items in the basket must be eligible to receive the discount. Once this first transaction has been completed, all further transactions can also include non-eligible items and the discount will be applied accordingly, but only one code can be applied per transaction – please keep clothing purchases separate to benefit fully from both discount codes.

* Amazon Student is only valid for students aged 18 or over, studying at university or further education institutions in the UK. Terms & Conditions apply.

The Amazon discount only comes off Amazon products and then not all of those. Book orders usually are OK but not everything that Amazon sells is covered.

Pleased I still have access to my student mail. (Left over 4 year ago). Unidays :smiley:

If this makes me a student and i can have an NUS card, would i also be entitled to 25% off my council tax????

Does it include Amazon prime can't find it on the list of discounts?

I think councils have other rules when it comes to what counts as a student. As far as I remember, one needs to be in a full-time student or study for 15 hours per week in a college or university.

you can use the unidays app instore

Thank you will get on and order
Im guessing it doesnt work on xbox games tho?

Will I get a discount on beans or/and pot noodle. Put Countdown on. Perfect afternoon.

nope

I can't remember the last time I bought something from an actual shop, other than food!

Does this give me a nationalrail discount?

Coop?

Yes, I pay no council tax at all.

Have no idea where the nearest one is to me :smile:

what me to look for you?

I'm sure you need proof of student status from your uni for this though, I don't think an NUS Extra card is sufficient, I had to get a letter when I got a travel card in 1st year.

Haha, you're ok - I'm fine with Aldi and Tesco :wink:

I hate real students.
So this deal is hot by default.
:smiley:

What the hell, ordered. I might actually try and write a kids book instead of scouring HUKD every five minutes :-)

You also get this card for free.. http://www.isic.org/ you might as well.. its FREEEEEEEEEEEEE!

BONUS!! You get access to Students' Unions
http://www.nus.org.uk/en/students-unions/

CHEAP BEER!

I'm one for a few years, been using the "Ensleigh" Nus xtra deal here that gets posted every year.
I have general self loathing issues anyway so it works out all ok and I don't even have to own up to be being a bigoted hypocrite :smiley:

Thanks for this

So can you get Amazon Prime student with this? As According to a previous deal you need one of the following if you do not have an ac.uk email to get the prime deal.

• A proof of student status letter (must be printed on official institution headed paper and include student name and address, course details and start date, expected graduation/completion date)

• A tuition bill for the current term (must include institution name, course details and start date, student address)

• A tuition invoice for the current term with your name and your institution’s name on it

• An official acceptance letter for the upcoming term (must be printed on official institution headed paper and include student name and address, course details and enrolment date, expected graduation/completion date

Can you use it for student software, eg Microsoft office?

I think people are selling this as a lot more than it is. You cannot get Amazon prime discounted with it, you cannot get a student rail card, this is all rubbish. It is for small discounts at certain stores and that is about it.

So the nus card will cost £13 every year?

Would be worth it for Spotify?

Oh gawd Henlans up to his tricks again...

:laughing:

so is this an actual NUS card, or just that nus extra thing that nobody i knew ever bought because it was ridiculously bad value to the point of being a scam?

F-Secure free for a year http://www.nus.org.uk/en/nus-extra/discounts/f-secure-first-years-protection-for-free
The ENTIRE list of discounts is here http://www.nus.org.uk/en/nus-extra/discounts/?load=136&top=22986&cat=394,413,397,415,406,393,407,401,392,675,398,408,399,409,674,412,404,396,395

I have a nus number woo

nice deal

Some of the perks not looking so good after a bit of research - Rail card not eligible, and most of the Co-Op stores don't offer student discount any more. Wondering if it's still worth it..

when I posted this their was 800 bought now 948 bought :smiley: only 2h15m minutes left!

This is brilliant. Spotify Premium users like me will save £60 in 12 months. Everything else is a bonus :-)

Soft drink & noodles all in one!!

How does this last a lifetime??

Registration to the course website failed for me. Obviously overloaded. Had to open a support ticket.

Would this be accepted on its own for student cinema tickets?

Good enough for me, thanks!

take your fight to mums net :smiley: not here!!

This might be a daft question but if you don't bother with the course can you get booted and have the card taken from you?
Also, will you get angry phonecalls from your teacher wanting to know where your homework is? :smiley:

NUS website says a lot have opted out. Most, by the looks of the list.

http://www.nus.org.uk/en/nus-extra/discounts/get-15-off-mac-products-with-apple-education/

Apple Education Discount

Up to 15% off Mac & 4% on iPad plus special pricing on AppleCare Protection Plan

The Dude was just joking, why you go all crazy for

Finally the best deal ever for me, half price spotify, I use fatface all the time and my local co op accepts it

WOW was about to get this based on some CO-OP shopping, just found this info on thir site. No wonder you have to expand to see the list:

http://www.co-operativefood.co.uk/in-store-services/nus-extra-discounts/

Discount available in stores nationwide including those within the following Co-operative societies:
• Midcounties

• Scottish Midlands (Trading as, ScotMid The Co-operative Food)

• Southern

• Central England

• Heart of England

• Chelmsford

• Channel Islands

• Seaton Valley

• Clydebank

• East of England

• Lincolnshire

• Coniston

I got this last year I am so happy being a student again.... the discounts are amazing. well worth it guys. bonus being I didn't know I could just renew my NUS extra card each year. I thought I would have to sign up to this course every year!

I had a look at the discounts on offer and cannot see anything remotely tempting. Voted hot, but I will stick to quidco

Not being funny but they are trying to flog you this thing, they're gonna say "Yeah! With this you can be a student for ever, noone will ever wise up to it!" I'm sure they'd be very apologetic when it gets pulled though...

yeah on the NUS site £13.. that's if they don't hike it up!

Can you definitely get an ISIC card OK with this? I'm after the free Microsoft software so important to me.

As long as it pays for it self each year who cares? last year was £26 this year £27 but this year you get a ISIC card for free.

:confused:

I suppose they won't take your existing NUS card off you if you have your mitts on it already. I'm wondering if I could save £27 with it, not spotify user any more.

So does this mean that I will get 5% off all Amazon purchases? :man:

When I try registering on the NUS website I keep getting problems, after pasting the Digital Sea Ltd I just get the error message You must select an organisation, anyone know what im doing wrong?

How do I sign up for Spotify, keeps saying its full price even if I link via the NUS site?

I too had the issue of "voucher no longer valid". Opened a support ticket and awaiting a response.

FYI, on the co-op store locator it tells you if your local takes the NUS discount, mine does.

Im trying to redeem my voucher on the write story books for children website and they ask for a group on code?! Which is that?

What?

Wow, if this gets access to the Dreamspark program, this is a bargain. Reading the ISIC FAQs now and it says you have to have proof you are in full time education though.

Where do you find your student Id? I can't find mine

The ISIC site seems to mention full time students only, just didn't think this would qualify, though this would suggest it did..

http://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com/nus/

NUS and the NUS card are dead dead dead.

They (NUS) lean to the left, yet supported the government that introduced tuition fees. They continue to do so. It's simply a leg up for people who want to get on in the Labour Party and it no longer represents 'students' even if it ever did. How can a party that believes in equality of outcome ever support someone who is studying to make their life better, when they believe that the outcome of that study - increased life opportunities - should be a right gifted to all.

Rant over.

I get half price local bus fare with mine.

Because I'm a bus wanchor.

Seriously though... saves me hundreds a year on the journey to work each day (no point driving as I'd have nowhere to park).

can you put course expires in 2026?? does it make a difference??

Wow - have just been rewinded back 25 years - off to get me student discount on lots of gear now - also managed to sign up to the Computer Science and Engineering Vocational course for 11 Years :wink:

What do you have to enter as Place of Study on the NUS website as it won't let me go past that stage??

Microsoft Dreamspark membership with ISIC card will be worth it alone. This gives you free access to full versions of Windows Server 2012, SQL Server, etc.

Anyone know how you get the Student ID beginning with SYD required on the NUS Extra registration page?

I figure there are enough savings elsewhere, spotify, odeon, amazon, etc, to make it worth a try.

Yep true, though the NUS alone can be got without going down the buying a course route, well it could a while ago anyway.

Initially very excited but the Amazon 5% discount is limited to books, etc. and Rail discount to under 25 (may not work at all as you will likely need proof from institution). I think if you don't eat at Pizza Express, etc. most others are not everyday purchases. Good deal, but not for me.

Plus you can then get a 'Gourmet Society' card for £3.99 when signing up for the NUS card.......

Says my coupon code is not valid :disappointed:

ignore me lol

Cheers - will use for my partner :sunglasses:

I want a proper student card with my picture on it that says I'm a student lol

For those asking - this doesn't work for Amazon prime. For that you need a university-headed acceptance letter or a tuition invoice from a UK university. Heat added nonetheless!

Might get this to use with spotify

The course is only £14 for next 20mins or so but is there a time limit to purchase the nus card?

Seriously hot,

It is great to be a student again! Spotify discount did not seem to do much when I clicked submit though - hopefully it will apply later. I'll stay up all night drinking beer now to celebrate!

1374 purchases. nice little earner of almost 20k for the company.

can you get your ISIC member no. before receiving the card?

just enrolled onto microsoft dreamspark using my NUS card no.but need to verify the account using the ISIC no. which i dont have yet :disappointed:

looks like you can still download software without verifying!

Britain at it's best, using a student card for baby products - just doesn't get any better than that!

Go to http://www.nus.org.uk/en/my-account/track-my-card/
I've enrolled already :smiley:

For £30.
I've given £1 to Charity, Signed up to a course I may dabble with, become an NUS member again, signed for a gourmet society card and gained a Dream Spark account. Result

What is everyone entering in the course date and subject/qualification details on the nus site ?

Qualification : Other
Subject : English
Duration 3 Years

just in case they cross check... Seems completely automated though.. Recieved my confirmation

I just ordered this and applied for the free isic card too.

No idea what or why I want it... But as with many things on this site.... That's how it goes haha

Worth it for Spotify alone. 50% off. Bargain.

would you get cheaper tv licence with a nus card?

For DreamSpark, just use your NUS number in the ISIC field it works the same

Comment

Cheers it's late and cba filling in all that info tonight...bought code and registered though...il apply for nus card tomorrow :smiley:

Do you need to buy the NUS extra card to get into Dreamspark then or just the ISIC? Or do you need the NUS Extra to get the ISIC?

so the first NUS is free?

I do not know if I needed it but I did go for it. It was 00:15 and was still able to get the Grupon deal.
Keep posting where else I can save money? :smiley:

just paid for it..

now err waiting for the confirmation email..

Oh, my lord.

Have you tried your Ensleigh NUS card at apple store?

I've tried it with my female friend. And it was soooo embarrassing to face the suspicious looking when the apple system showed the only option came after Ensleigh is a primary school!

Re DreamSpark:

0. (Probably already done :smiley:) Buy the groupon deal, register and use groupon code/security code and buy NUS card with ISIC Free
1. Open this page:
http://www.nus.org.uk/en/my-account/track-my-card/

2. Find "Card Number"
3. Use it to verify you are a student on dreamspark
4. ...
5. Profit

I've ordered my card just after midnight and as of now I have access to Dreamspark!
Works! Thank you OP!

I ordered a 3 year card last year and I'm no longer a student, even when I registered

Never used groupon before...

paid for it.. now got an email to say to reedem it..

err how?

is the voucher code.. the code I used on the NUS website?

I can get an NUS card for £12 on the site, can someone explain to me why this is a good deal?

what do I enter as place of study?

errr why does it say my coupon code expired?

@abed93:
http://writestorybooksforchildren.com/nus/

@ck12111:
You can if you are a student... this is a trick to get NUS card without being one.

Ok thanks! I thought it was lifetime NUS for £14 for a minute! Great deal for the older folk though! :smile:

guys what did u put for the dates of when ur course status and finishes?

course level and discipline?!

If this made us eligible for a student rail card, I would be ALL OVER IT.

Alas, it doesn't, so I'll pass. Too much hassle for 24p off here and 53p off there.

am I missing something here...

you pay £14 for the course then £12 for the card.. so £28 for the year?

£26

5% Quidco cashback too :-)

Wonder if my old Uni bar will let me in with this? happy memories...:laughing:

This has actually inspired me to take up one of the nusextra offers for 50% off a photography diploma course.

£100 for another diploma has gotta be worth it for the CV!

Nice

I know this is waaaaay out in the future, but, when it comes to renewing in a years time, how would we qualify for this?

Umm sorry if this sounds silly but what has everyone put for the name of the course enrolled on?

That's what iv'e put although the actual course name is :Write Story Books For Children which is far too long winded as well as sounding crap. Will just keep it at English. :smiley:

Amazing find! I no longer have to "borrow" my nephews card for my shopping!! With a bit of help from OP I am now a student. When I will fit "study" into my life I have no idea!!

I purchased a 12 month card last year, as a student at "Endseligh" as did many others on here I believe...

This is due to expire in a couple of months - could I not simply just renew that one?.

Can you register with unidays then?

hello, how do i find out my student number please?

Sorry for my ignorance if it's already been answered. I already have a valid NUS Extra card. I just want the access to lifetime student status for future NUS Extra renewals and discounts. Is this possible without having to buy another NUS EXTRA card? Many Thanks for your help :-)

The NUS card is £12 because we are more than half way through an academic year, the card will only be valid until August.
To get a NUS card that will be valid for the whole year you will have to wait till August and the start of the new academic year, by which time the NUS card will be back up to full price £25.

I wish I could give you more heat than just one, I've always wanted one of these cards. Now to resist buying EVERYTHING just because it's 10% cheaper!

Thanks

Brilliant. I had already bought this course last year so signed up for the nus card straight away! Already saved on spotify and ASOS. Nice one x

I wanted the student discount how shall I buy it please help

Whats wrong with saving money from 2 car seats both costing £180 each? Thats what this site is all about saving money

Comment

There is a difference between a deal and fraud...

Typical student attitude to leave things for laters

Hot hot hot! Worth it for Spotify alone.

Good deal only problem is 7 months of the academic year have gone so you would only get 5 months?

You get 12 months

I am now a mature student, 8.5 years after graduating!

Easily pay for itself with days out I imagine!

done - super hot deal :smiley: bring on the Student discounts !!!!!

Bought and voted hot !! Thanks !
Very good deal , you can easily make your money back quickly , lots of decent discounts there

Will this work for local rugby and football team season pass discounts ?
Savings on these are usually huge

No it's 12 months from issue

Courses don't just start in September...

Just got this txt message

Your NUS extra card is on its way to your chosen delivery address. Log in to nus.org.uk to access all the discounts and enjoy saving money with NUS extra!

Many thanks OP - have gone for it and added the Gourmet Society as well for £3.99

Fraud.

Says deal now closed?

no offence but only good for amazon and alton towers rest are discounts you can get or better anyway like quidco you can just join anyway heat

Card is associated with your Amazon account and discount will be automatically applied where applicable. Problem is that its NOT 5% off most things. Applicable categories are things like books, CDs etc as I said previously.

And days out with the family and random shops and McDonalds and Domino's and Pizza Express.

Unfortunately, you don't get cashback on naivety or offline things Burkazoid :wink:

has anyone got one who isn't planning on using it for spoitfy, and would be willing to let me have their detials?? :smiley:

Yeah that's what written on the card

i am 30, in part time education and get student discount with my student card. even with that, its not a lot. so this is not going to benefit me much.

from what I saw it looks like you can do it by just having an ISIC card

You can get instore cashback with Quidco at places like Halfords if you're using a registered card.

Handy to know! Been meaning to get a proper* bike lock for a while :smiley:

* - current Center Parcs lock does not constitute as proper

Did you get cash back on top of that?

In my opinion the best NUS discount is half price Spotify, that's a £60 annual saving!

I've just gone and done all this. The 5% off at amazon means it will pay for itself in no time.

Cheers Henlans, hows the loft ?

Thanks OP, signed my wife up :-) It should pay for itself very quickly, just with clothes shops listed :-)

Has anyone actually got the Spotify discount to work, just looping for me???

Comment

cmr28 is correct. It is fraud. It's unlikely you'll be taken to court over the matter but a judge would rule that you are not a student. Is it worth the risk for a possible conviction?

No it's not. You have enrolled in a course, ergo you are a student. Even if you don't take the course it doesn't mean it is fraud. I could start a university course then never turn up to lectures but benefit from having a student ID...is that also fraud?
No

Funny how people are quick to dig at students not deserving discounts, then as soon as they can cheat the system to get the discount card, it's fine. I'm a student and have had this card a while, and I cannot see why non students are desperate to buy it? Yes you can get a free cheeseburger if you buy a meal at mcdonalds, or 5% off books and dvds at amazon, but with flubit you already get a better discount on amazon, and other offers there is usually a code floating around to beat the price already. If you are shopping at co-op then moneysaving isn't your priority.

How on earth is it fraud? We've signed up to a course whose provider NUS Extra has recognised as an educational body, thus offering NUS Extra cards. Noone here has lied over the course of their applications.

Just ordered my card!!! Lifetime Student...YES PLEASE!!!

Thanks for the info and all heat and thanks

just had police on the phone I am being charged with fraud facing 3-5 years don't do it ppl :disappointed:

Was going to ask the same....I'm premium already and have tried cancelling sub. When i try to resubscribe I'm given a button to resume my sub for the usual £9.99.

I'm was thinking that I'll need to let the sub lapse (i'm paid up until next month) and then resubscribe. ...

Any other idea?

want to know how the spotifiers get on before i committ

hmm..I think it is a good deal but I have seen other NUS deal cheaper somewhere.

When I got free Spotify through my mobile contract, I had a similar experience - I seem to remember I had to contact Spotify support directly for them to cancel my previous arrangement on their systems, otherwise the system thinks you have just had a change of heart and want to reactivate your account! I would contact them and explain that you have just become a student so that they can do the necessary on their systems...

For anyone with Spotify issues, you need to make a new account to use the Student Discount.
Just logout, go to the student signup page and register via that. You'll be prompted for the NUS card number then.

https://www.spotify.com/uk/student/nus/go/

I went through the whole of university without knowing this. I nearly died when I found out.

Apologises if someone has already asked this. Would I be able to get the student discount from Apple Store through this?

Make a new account?

When you choose United Kingdom and click Visit your local ISIC website. It takes you to STA Travel and it says the ISIC card is £12:

http://www.statravel.co.uk/discount-cards.htm

I'm having difficulty entering in my date of birth on the NUS site. I keep typing it in in the format requested, but it keeps getting rejected. Has anyone else experienced similar problems?

Can't you just register for a new Spotify account (with a different email address) and use your new NUS Extra card to get another 12 months discount?

I've definitely used the student discount twice. I've just looked at my payment history; I've gone from 4.99 a month to 9.99 a month and back to 4.99 a month.

Just knowing I'll be a student for the rest of my life is good enough for me. Not too bothered about the discount although a free mcflurry with maccys meal is always a plus! muhahaha

Groupon offer - legit
write a story book site sign up - legit
Nus registration through write a story book - legit

Please tell me which part of this is illegal or constitutes fraud. I am paying with my hard earned cash!!

Some people quite clearly don't understand the word 'fraud' here...

HUKD's member Henlans (real name Shang Tsung) seen here being deported back to his homeland of Cambodia for his part in the 2015 NUS card scandal. The scam rocked the foundations of the UK commerce market, costing retailers- such as The Co Operative society -upwards of £12 per store.

Can I get ISIC card for lifetime using this method?

Fraud lol so people need to get an education :smiley:

You have a lifetime to do it. You get a nus card. If anything it's a loophole in the system :smiley:

Wouldn't be fraud anyway.
The NUS xtra card is a civil offering and has no physical monetry value.
The only legal recourse against you would be to sue in civil court privately.
Considering it would be quite easy for someone to sign up to this in good faith that would be impossible to win for any company.
Companies would voluteer to sign up to this based on terms that would certainly disallow them form following this (impossible to win) line, would be a PR nightmare "Superdrug sues potential student and loses"

NUS Xtra, likewise do they really have the resources to follow a line of principle?
They don't even have telephone support.

Cretin.

:smiley:

Anyone got the Spotify NUS discount working? The form just reloads with no confirmation/error message for me.

Comment

Should be some and not so lol stupid phone :wink:

Excellent deal. Fk the fraud - it isnt. Its a loophole exploited. End Of.

I will easily save on this - NUS Extra card will give me a mega discount at my local gym. And im talking - MEGA £23 less per month.

Signed up. Thanks OP.

Can anyone confirm if you can get the ISIC card with this??
Would be fantastic for museums etc on holidays

Good point! Did not think about Gym!!!!

Winner!

Thanks - Is anyone actually going to write a **** childrens book?. Think I will,the little **** will love it.
It's about a young wizard.... That's as far as I've got

Please help - I STILL can't find my student I - even using the nus link

ID*

Sweet deal

odeon offer an additional discount on top of the student price for nus holders. But I've only ever gone on cheap Tuesdays when all tickets were same reduced price anyway.

Thanks OP. And for all the fraud naysayers I'm actually going to do the course, been meaning to get something like this to motivate me, cheers!

Oo, I don't know what happened to the other bit of my comment! I CANNOT find my student ID whichever link I use? HELP XXXXXX

If you are a uni grad (for real,) you can get an nus card for a year using this link: https://cards.nusextra.co.uk/affiliate/alumni

Yes you can't benefit from Amazon, and the railcard, but it easily pays for itself within the few months of using it.

I got mine in Jan (i think) and have used it when eating out, cinema, online shopping e.t.c.

And the answer is, obviously, NO!

That's the problem, people aren't getting an education. These loopholes are wonderful arent they? Governments use loopholes to redirect tax payers money into private pockets, some overseas students enter the country on student visas without intention to study but to take advantage of the benefits the country offers, large companies and the wealthy use loopholes to pay as little back into the system. What a wonderful mindset to have.

No reply, but to be honest I went for this just to ensure I get this card for years to come

done this myself and already saved more than my card fee for the year. HEAT.

I'll chose the mindset of a realist over a loon.

Same here :smiley:
Also get an ISIC card here...not sure how useful that is yet.

I've had mine for just under a year and I've definitely made the money back. All the co ops I've tried take it, even when just buying a magazine. I just flash it anywhere that offers student discounts. All the pennies saved add up.
The big things like rail cards, amazon prime, apple discounts, etc require a signed declaration from your uni. I can't get a student bus pass but I have had student dayrider tickets with a big discount (stagecoach in Fife).

Care to elaborate?

Spotify at Half Price is tempting if it works... save a whole £60 per year. Or I could just work a bit harder.

Can you get cinema tickets as student prices with this?

apologies if someone mentioned this, you get 40% off your total bill (inc drinks) at pizza express on Mondays and Tuesdays with NUS Extra

Well, you're preaching ideals basically.
Ideals nobody has ever followed in number and therefore unrealistic.
Nobody actually lives by ideals they hold, they're just something to talk about and moan when elections come round every 5 years or when the latest banking story breaks.

Hot :sunglasses:

Oh dear - very sorry everyone. I think I'm having a bad day :disappointed: If I'd read everything properly I would've seen what to do earlier. Thank you anyway. Perhaps a writing course isn't for me, if I can't even read properly! !! :O lol x

Anyone else having issues with Spotify?

I get to the enter the NUS card number in on a new accoutn sign up and it jsut reloads the page instead of confirming when i click continue

so is it £12 a year or £12 for a lifetime?

Student Unions across the country are going to be full of drunk old men pretending they are Writing Childrens Stories!

I’m in!

What's the institutes name as can't find it on nus drop down. I have bought Groupon and enrolled in course.
. Thanks

My HND course finishes up in 2 months so gonna sign up to everything now while i still have an ac.uk email address. as previously mentioned Spotify alone is worth it.. But the free ISIC card is the brucey bonus.

Just followed the above steps front to back - and all went through smooth as silk!

No need to visit the ISIC website, its an 'Add On' at the end of the NUS Extra Card Purchase.

So both cards in one hit.

will save for later

Any difference between this and the one in the deal?

Is that you don't get the 5% Amazon discount, or you don't get the Amazon Student thingy? Have just started signing up and it's not quite clear!

We use our daughters card, obviously with her. Monday and Tuesday 40% off at pizza express includes drinks too!

Have done that and still the same issues - will haev to contact Spotify i guess

Is there a contact us on their site or is it all just FAQs?

Nothing about NUS is ever clear

so let me just this straight...sorry being thick

you pay £14 for the course
and another £13 for the NUS card

thanks

This guy thought the same...

Does it say anywhere in the fine print that this can be renewed every year?

I just want to make sure before I get it; thanks.

One is legit and deserved whereas one isn't?

Seriously I hope they close off this loophole. Students paying thousands in fees deserve a break. The offers will just get watered down with this sort of abuse of the system.

Don't blame anyone for doing it really, it's NUS for making it so easy to order one by registering for a course like this, but hopefully they'll sort it out.

Thats interesting. I didnt know fracking and nus extra has so much in common
http://forums.canadiancontent.net/news/118167-green-mp-caroline-lucas-arrested.html

As long as you are legitimately enrolled on a qualifying course I don't see how it can be fraud..... There's no lie/deception involved (or false representation as the fraud act States). It might help your conscience to start the course online to show you're actively doing it but there's no need. There's people go to Uni with the sole intention of enjoying themselves and the degree/qualification comes second. Don't see how this is different.

If you already have an NUS Extra card can you sign up for another?

tried signing up for spotify but keep getting: oops something went wrong! Grrrr only reason i signed up. Have emailed spotify

Both are 100% legitimate. Deserved? Depends how you look at it. Having spent tens of thousands on University fees, I won't be losing any sleep over it.

Since this one is a lifetime deal?

Bah, missed it :disappointed:

expired

Seem to have missed it by minutes. Figures. :/

Blimey I signed up minutes before it expired!

Had the item course in my basket but it expired before I could check out. Bah.

Got it and my Spotify for a year plus a Dreamspark account. Absolute bargain!

I already had a NUS Extra Card through another deal, and just used the card number to create a dreamspark account. NICE!

bought. thanks oP

Expired already? This sucks. I would actually love to have bought this course, and learned how to write stories for children. It's one of my dreams.

That's for certain - answered my own question - signed up for an Alumni card (although there are no verification checks on whether I'm telling the truth that I can see whatsoever, no former NUS number, course details etc!) and received my Amazon discount code by logging in to the NUS Extra website...why didn't I know about this 13 years ago, would have saved hundreds of pounds over the years!!

Seems like a decent course. Just wondering why you don't just enrol in an Open University course to get the NUS card ?

Dam was going to use this to buy a villa season ticket as a NUS student!

So is the NUS card for life or for a year? Trying to work out how disappointed i should be that i just missed out

You can buy this from Groupon USA for $19. Signed up, paid by AMEX, put in an ontario postcode. Job done

i believe the police are monitoring this thread :disappointed:

Managed to get in on this. Thanks OP.

Damn it. I thought you could get Amazon prime with this. Should of researched more before jumping in and purchasing. Got a cheap gourmet society card out of it at least.

What do i fill in for 'Course Level' and 'Course Discipline' when applying for my NUS card please ? And is it best to put from April 2015 to April 2018 as course duration ?

Perhaps these selections ?
'Course Level' = Professional / Vocation
and
'Course Discipline' = Linguistics and Literature

Perhaps these selections ?
'Course Level' = Professional / Vocation
and
'Course Discipline' = Linguistics and Literature

Lol

I've just had a knock on the door from the bobbies.

Apparently they were passed my details from an unknown source. They'd been tipped off that I had partaken in a fraudulent transaction. They informed me that to pay for a service (NUS), where no one actually loses out on anything, by deception is a crime.

After speaking to me for 5 minutes and after my initial shock had dissipated. I succumbed to my inner feelings. So I released my bladder all over the insides of my clothes, injured my side, that will probably need stitches as I fell to the floor in my emotional outburst. This was manifesting itself in the form of uncontrollable laughter and comments of your having a fecking laugh, now sod off and go send the flying squad out to catch benefit scroungers too.

How did this work? I can't pay, it rejects the payment as i dont have a canadian address?

i just put in the registered address for the card, but picked Ontario for the state and put in M4C 1B for the post code. Paid by Amex rather than a debit card, so don't know if that made a difference

Yup the writing course is a .com site so just go through the registration and enrolment,putting in your UK address etc, then use the /nus link in the op's post and there will be your Student ID. It definitely worked for me.

aha, the registered address is what makes the difference, street number name and town being right allowed it to go through even though postcode was in canada :smile:

Is it expired, I bought it this morning?

Yes I still got the NUS card. Just for the love of God reject every extra special offer the site tries to sell you :stuck_out_tongue:

Ahh, all done! Thanks.

Can anyone confirm for certain that this can be renewed every year?

Anyone got the spotify deal working yet?

It now says deal no longer available :disappointed:

Get a FREE student discount card from Student Advantage Card now to, way better than NUS anyway:

https://studentadvantagecard.co.uk/

All those jumping on this deal have you thought for a moment about the ethics of your actions, you are basically committing fraud, but as long as you get 5% off at Amazon everything is rosy…

NUS cards are meant for full-time students to help a low-income group of individuals gain qualifications, not a perk for a bunch of freeloaders on a money saving forum.

anyone able to get on groupon.com says site down for me

Gutted it has expired :-(

Some left on groupon.ie
http://www.groupon.ie/deals/dealbank_en_ie/write-story-books-for-children-24/56796859

Does it matter than the new link is in euros and not pounds?

thanks so much thestealth and OP

i was actually interested in the course for my wife and the NUS card is a bonus

was giving up hope

enjoy the weekend everyone

YES!! WORKS!! :smiley: ALL GOOD!

no u dont

Thank you so much!

Thanks-you are a star!!

credit to TheStealth :smiley: he found it!

Thank you TheStealth!

If everyone started ordering from Apple with 15% discount or shopping at the Co-op with 10% discount then they would withdraw the offer.

You're right in that it's not an altruistic offer, but it's not as simple as "get more sales". The idea is to build up some brand loyalty with young people who will likely go on to earn good money. Giving them a small saving now could lead to a lot of potential sales in the future.

What they don't want is to just give discounts to any old person who doesn't want to pay full price.

why should students get all the fun?

Are you sure you get the NUS card from the .ie site? No mention in the description but was on the original UK one. Mmm...

Thanks op and thanks The Stealth for the Irish link.

Bought the Irish one.

Nice

How do I sign up for Spotify via NUS followed the link and its stuck in a loop just signed up for premium and got charged £9.99. How do I enter my NUS number?

No didn't get that far, logged into Spotify and entered payment details thinking it might be on the next page but got signed up to normal premium.

Do you get a normal NUS card with this or not? Don't care much for NUS extra.

that's why then.. you need to go via the nus site.

Got in, thanks
Missed the topcashback in the rush......damn!

Do you have to use paypal or can you pay by credit card for the course and NUS?
Thanks

http://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com/nus/

OK visited this, however, for some reason I can't enter place of study what they told me to fill in?

I know.. I had that.. just start to type it and it finds it. (don't copy and paste)

well worth it.
I've saved loads of money so far having an NUS extra card.
£5 Spotify per month
Cheap cinema tickets
cheaper admission for comedy nights and nightclubs
10% discount Burtons
10% discount Co-op

easy to save those ££££££!!!!!

Is there a way of getting a £3.99 Gormet Card if you already have an NUS card?

Sorry, logged into NUS clicked Spotify Student discount then 'Get Premium With NUS Extra' and got taken to my account overview.

No. its the extra card.

Is this a regular deal which gets put on and off groupon every few weeks?

I think you needed to make a new account.

Now SOLD OUT!! :smiley:

Its just a ill-informed troll

Left education 2 years ago and I have always been able to renew my nus card just lie about the course they don't check anymore

anyone help, where do I find my syd student number?

Enter your student ID (begins with SYD)

Just clicked sign up and it now gives the option to enter the NUS number. Have emaiedl support to see if they can amend my existing account.

Thanks for the help.

+Heat

Is the NUS App worth getting - does it act as a usable version of the actual card?

Also, what day to day uses/discounts does the card give?

Would this work on the american one? http://www.groupon.com/deals/writestorybooksforchildren-com-11-philadelphia

Spotify student discount update; this is a reply from Spotify:

Hello drummerdickens,

Thanks for getting in touch. Don't worry, we'll work this out together to make it happen! ☺

We have two options for you as we work on a fix to the Student Discount issue:

We can add one free month to your account. After that, you can try again to subscribe to the Student Discount. We should have the issue resolved by then.

To do this option, please provide the following:

Your date of birth (example: March 8, 1995).
Your zip/postal code.
Last 4 digits of your payment card.
Or you can create a new account with the Student Discount. Reply to this email with your new username and we'll move the playlists, starred tracks, followers, and Your Music from the old account to the new one.

Note: If you're offered a trial during sign up, don't take it. You won't be able to apply Student Discount if you do.

Look forward to hearing back from you soon, we thank you for understanding and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

I went with the free month and I'll set a reminder for next month to set it up again. Sweet!

Following my comment about the US site, I tried but they require a US state/province

Yeah couldn't get it to work either

that's great customer service. 13 months for £60 then :smiley:

I don't know why they are limiting it to 3000 on both sites. that's £42k made.

yes you can.. ill edit this one lol

Do you reckon it'd be possible to somehow buy a US Groupon gift code?

Still on free trial but I don't assume I'll have any problem when subscribing.

should be fine.

post going wierd

I can't find my student id (begins with SYD) for the card application checked all the emails and my profile but dont see it anywhere?

I've just done the E-Careers one for the wife and it works. Only issue I had was entering the place of study, the company is E-Careers but you need to enter it as ecareers.

Hi just bought the ecareers course....tried registering for the nus card ,,but its asking for academic email address and student password?

The Academic email is optional, just leave it blank. For the PW I used the one I used to register with E-Careers.

Cool thanks Stu I'll have a go at it again :-)

Anyone know how to get this to work on MyUniDays? It doesn't recognise Digital Sea as an institution.

Where did the thread go? It suddenly vanished last week!

thanks.. I tried for a few days!!

No worries.

I couldn't do it on unidays either? Has anyone?

Where do I find the syd (student number) on the E-careers site? to register on NUS site?

Thanks

Didn't need it. Just use the institution ecareers.

don't think this works with unidays

Just did the ecareers course. Can I apply for an nus card later on down line or does it need to be as soon as I start course? Asking cos my current nus doesn't expire until June 2015.

Ah nice, the thread is back, may as well link over here - use your card first and 2 rolls of Plenty are yours for 40p!

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/plenty-kitchen-towels-white-2-roll-99p-co-op-50p-money-off-coupon-49p-2186790

unidays will not work for non-students as when you register it does a check with your institutions system - which you wont be on, unless you are an actual registered student. As another poster pointed out, many of the best discounts are now unidays specific, meaning I can see the NUS card being phased out eventually. how do I know all this? I work at a university so I know all the tricks, and as a university member of staff we've always been able to get an NUS whenever we want, I have a three year one currently.

Livingsocial promo code “shpp10” for £1 off...

How do I sign up to NUS with living social deal, it says e-careers isn't valid?

try ecareers ?

now says course unlimited availability for 12 months

I have purchased the accounting course from livingsocial. I redeemed the code and am apparently enrolled into the course.
I'm now not sure how to find my 'student ID' or what details i should put into it about the course (i copied your example of Digital Sea Ltd. but not sure if that was right to do or not?)
Thanks for any help

I've bought mine! It turned out that when i put ECareers as the place of study, it didn't ask me for a student ID anymore. Very happy - thanks!

All sorted too! Thank you :-)

You can also get a FREE Student Discount card here: https://studentadvantagecard.co.uk/

Sold out! :disappointed:

Still courses available for ECareers on different sites, list here : http://www.dealzippy.co.uk/e-careerscom/

I have been sent a £5 off from Wowcher so if you have one use that to knock some more off

I bought from http://www.hereforaday.com/derby/49211-ecareers and ordered the NUS extra card.

Still courses available for ECareers on different sites, list here : http://www.dealzippy.co.uk/e-careerscom/

I have been sent a £5 off from Wowcher so if you have one use that to knock some more off

I got a course off ecareers but it's only saying a year not lifetime, how do I now fill out the NUS extra form so I don't have only a year of use?

Hello.

Here's my experience today, after buying & redeeming the Groupon voucher with WriteStoryBooksForChildren (WSBfC):

NUS Extra website will NOT accept the Place of Study given to me to register with NUS for the Extra card (from WSBfC on their website 'http://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com').

This refusal to accept the institution by NUS Extra is of course after paying WSBfC using my Groupon voucher, then logging in as a paid-up WSBfC student + cutting and pasting the address name WSFC gave me (to prevent any spelling errors) to use on the NUS Extra card site. It didin't work going directly to the NUS site, nor via the link to it supplied by WSBfC.

Have emailed WSBfC asking them to explain what's wrong & asking them to send me an address which will work with the NUS Extra card application site.

The WSBfC site is clearly advertising their affiliation to NUS & paying students' eligibility for the NUS Exxtra card, on their own NUS page - opening paragraph - as follows:
"As a result of our affiliation with the National Union of Students (NUS) we’re delighted to announce that ALL students of http://www.WriteStoryBooksForChildren.com are eligible to apply for a valuable, money-saving NUS extra and International Student Identity Card (ISIC)!"

Will post more when I hear back from WSBfC.

In the meantime: buyer beware...

It worked fine for me when I put Digital Sea Ltd as the place of study. I now have my NUS card!

Did you use Digital Sea Ltd for the old deal? I know it works because I did one today and it was fine.

Worked fine for me.

Ahem! I have purchased the whole lot (the course and the NUS extra card) until I realise that I wont have the .ac.uk email address. Therefore I wont be able to join Amazon Student. Also, it seems a lot of online student discounts require .ac.uk email (cmiiw).....? dang!

Yes, I did use 'Digital Sea Ltd' + it was not accepted.

Got an e-careers brewing course for £10 that i'll make use of anyways.

Purchased and registered on e careers. But can't register on nus as doesn't recognise this as an organisation once registering for nus card. Please help

Try ecareers instead of E-Careers as a few of us have already posted.

I am morally conflicted about this.

hot and works for me

Thanks jammiev. What do u put in for education details. Ie. Dates and course levels

Update: Just called NUS who talked me through my browser issues to access drop-down institution list (basically simply enter 1st word 'Digital' + wait :^). Application successful! Thanks for this Henlans - will send u a signed copy of my first book. x

Do any of the ecareers courses work? If so is the NUS card for life or just a year? How do we know the NUS wont reject the card in future years?

Thanks! What about the ecareers courses. Do any of them work or is a certain one? Thanks!

any of them work.. go for the cheapest. :smiley:

Can't redeem the voucher, anyone help?

it goes to the login page. But when I entered my email add it says email id invalid:(. Don't know what to do then.

are you doing the NUS bit now? you need to register on the NUS site..

no. When I click redeem button at ecareers site as instructed, it turns to ecareers' login page where the problem occurs.

I'm struggling to remember my student days but i think back then we had a uni card and nus card separate? Nothing called 'nus extra'.

I see it's quite normal for a university card to also be an NUS card (nus logo on it)

My question essentially is whether this really is an NUS card? If say, a cinema asks for an 'NUS card' or 'student id' will this 'extra' card be sufficient or are they likely asking for a university/nus card?

Been recouping the outlay on mine quite comfortably and without the need for any supporting documents.

Has anybody managed to use student beans or unidays?

Has anyone been able to get Adobe CC subscription discounted with this?

The current £9 course can be got for £8, just stay on the page long enough and it offers you a discount

I have my NUS card but dont find it useful. Nothing at subway, M&S, sainsburys, tesco
What are people finding the NUS card good for ?

I just got an email from groupon showing this deal again:

http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/london/write-story-books-for-children-30/61890432

Oh, just realised, the deal has been changed to an even cheaper course...

Thanks, I think the current cheaper course is for one year only, the book writing one is lifetime until complete I believe.

The Fine Print
Validity: Must redeem by 31 Jul 2015. Course content available for lifetime access.

Yes that is on the book writing one, the other cheaper deal currently up says:


So I would personally say the book writing course is the better option and thus should be added into the OP again.

Yes got it mixed up, the book one is the way to go.

I see this is still available (now £14 on GroupOn) - but can anyone confirm that the process is still working?

Use code treat20 for 20% off the groupon writing course... I just got it for £11.20

It was made available again yesterday:
http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/london/write-story-books-for-children-30/61890432

Oh we'll, I went for the e-careers one, only thing is your only a student for 1 year, so really this is the better option.

Cool Deal OP. :-)

I'm getting "It appears your place of study is not listed or recognised, please contact our customer services team on 01625 413277 or email [email protected]."

:disappointed:

I got that a few times... You have to start typing it in until a drp down box appears with your place of study in then click on that

If you chose e-careers then type ECareers

I just ordered my, I paid £8 for the course. Is anyone gonna actually make use of the course?

what to put in place of study?

Whats the percent discount they offer?

Done it but should I have upgraded it to a ISIC card?? Hmmmmm

Hello Peeps!!!
Could some one please guide me, I've registered for the course don't know how to go about with the nus card bit. I purchased the book keeping couse on living social.
Please help me get this sorted soon.

isic free? it's coming up £2.99 for me.

You are purchasing:

NUS extra online
1 year NUS extra Student Discount Card.
Valid for: 1 year
Item total
£12.00

ISIC
£2.99 ×

Gourmet Society 1 Year
£3.99 ×

ISIC was free, I think only until the end of April though.

Is there anyway I can use this to buy Microsoft office 365 university for £59.99 (4 year subscription)?

Thanks!

Thanks OP. Will make use of this with Spotify.

Can't register for oyster student card, because e-careers is not listed in the drop down when filling out the online application.

Please help???

Used mine yesterday to save quite a substantial sum off of a new MacBookPro in store at Apple.

Does this still work?? otherwise expire i cant see anything about nus card

Can confirm this still works with the book keeping course for £8 + cost of card & delivery.

Only got to use for Spotify. . but do use amazon a fair bit.

Thx

hi guys i have found it its on groupon again. . http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/dealbank_en_gb/write-story-books-for-children-30/61890436 hope this can help

What do you get Topcashback with on here please? The living social, ecareers or NUS Extra bit? Can't see any of those on the cashback site.

Student fare.

It will of the depend on your bus company, but I literally just have to show my NUS card when I board to get on for half price.

Ok cheers :smiley:

Is the barcode supposed to be on the NUS card or does the cinema have their own barcode?

The cinema has their own just make sure you ask for the NUS extra 25%

Just got back from the USA.. I found the ISIS card pretty much useless and not worth it for me. the uk part is bloody good tho :smiley: saved loads

Does this still work, as I cannot see the company coming up on the drop down NUS Extra menu?

If you've been waving an ISIS card around stateside I'm surprised they let you come back at all!

I saved 96.40 off my gym membership at DW fitness.

The ISIS card would have been ok if it was not with the NUS for some reason.

I bought the same course on Groupon for £14. NUS extra card is in the post. This will be very handy for museums/swimming pools/cinema etc.

5 mins left at £8. Click go to deal

Thought so! .. a bummer that?, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh well? lol. :-)

Did you even understand the question? .. does it give u a .ac.uk email address? .. what that to do with u being able to sign up for just 'another' generic on-line Course that gives u nowt but the Course alone?, or ..... :-)

Could someone just confirm I understand this correctly.

Purchase the £9 accounting course on living social.

Once the purchase has been confirmed, use the information in the email to register at e-careers.

Once registered on e-careers, go to the NUS website and enter your details.

Is that all, am I missing anything?
Is there also a £12 fee for the card?

Deal Over. What happens next?

Used a picture of me I took moments before on iPhone. Just needs to be clear pic of your face.

Expired?! Any other courses
Available?

"Students have three months of access to complete the course’s 14 modules, "
Got a link - the classify by city more than we do.

It's life time access

Dead link?

Any links?

Can someone kindly explain how this deal works with it being US course, how to link to get to NUS. Sorry if it's obvious

It just does

42% off at Alton Towers. Sounds like both legs :neutral_face:

It does not give you an .ac.uk email address , you cannot get the Amazon 50% student discount with this. But you do get 50% off spotify and 10% off at Co-Op , 10% Superdrug and others (once you have your NUS card).

I was after an explanation. ...

Buy the course from the U.S. Groupon site then follow below...

Buy it, register on the site http://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com then visit

http://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com/nus/ for the info that you will need on the NUS extra site

Then visit http://www.nus.org.uk/nusextra?utm_source=NUSExtra&utm_medium=Redirect&utm_campaign=NUSExtra to get your card, you need a picture to upload.

You will save £27 easy on the first year and then £13 a year after. Spotify, Coop (10%) etc etc.

Email from writestorybooksforchildren.com

Thanks for getting in touch.
You are eligible for an NUS extra card once you have registered for the course. I have included a link where you will find all the information on how to obtain an NUS extra card below, but please make sure you are logged into the course before clicking on the link otherwise you will not see the correct information:
http://www.writestorybooksforchildren.com/nus/
When you have registered for the course you have a lifetime access to the course content however the NUS extra card works annually so you will be required to reapply every year.
I hope this helps and if you have any further issues please just get in touch.
Kind regards,

Nice one .. thanx for that too. :-)

That's what I thought ... lol. :-)

Why hook it up via the American Groupon though?, or .....

WHY does the OP's 'Deal Link' go to this:

e-Careers
Online Introduction to Accounting and Book-Keeping Course
https://www.livingsocial.com/deals/1410088-online-accounting-and-book-keeping-course?awc=3925_1436622458_b26ebe92699e1097797ca7f67ca856f2&cvosrc=affiliate.awin-gb.47868&temp_skip_roadblock=1&utm_campaign=47868&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=awin

Via Livingsocial's Web Site? .. which literally has sod all to do with either a Children's Book Writing Course?, &/or Groupon itself for that matter?, or .....
(I'm just a wee bit confused here ..... )

Its 3 Months from purchase of your Course to THEN Log-In to the Course via Groupon's 'Link' to u, etc to then Register your Course with the Site/people who'll now administer the Course to u .....

Beyond those preliminaries, the rest is solely up to u.

Does anyone have some Groupon Discount Codes please?. :-)

How do you use the groupon.com site with a UK credit card - when you are asked for payment the card details require a US / Can state or province?

it's back http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/write-story-books-for-children-38

It's black

No issues for me. Happy NUS member (for the second time round!) with some decent savings - particularly like the Amazon 5%.

Try Groupon Discount Code: JULY20 for 20% OFF the £14 asking price .. making it only £11.20 instead ...

The Code expires today mind!. :-)

thank you, all sorted

can you get amazon student prime with write-story-books-for-children?

Your welcome. :-)

Code wouldn't work for me yesterday unfortunately, now for the NUS card reprise.

Do u actually know what Student Prime is!?

Sorry to hear that, it was 'time bound' unfortunately.

Google for possible/further Groupon Codes and the like? (like what I did ..... ) :-)

Just ordered the writing course and signed up for my new NUS Extra and ISIC cards. Fingers crossed it comes through... I save approx £60 a year just from Spotify by having student status. :stuck_out_tongue:

Amen to that ..... lol.

Just getting around to this - do you need the NUS Extra & ISIC card? Or is the ISIC card only useful when travelling?

Only useful abroad and even then it depends on the country

The Amazon 5% discount ends on 31st August! :disappointed:

So only got just over a weeks worth of discounts ( saving £4 ) with mine which is the main thing I bought the NUS card and course for!

I better get myself down the Co op!! ... I only signed up for the course for one year ( silly me ) does this mean I can't get an NUS card next year without signing up for another course? :neutral_face:

This isn't proving to be the money saver I thought it would though as the Amazon discount would have been good if it continued after next week

Just tried to do this but it is not possible.
Groupon.com do not accept purchasers from outside USA and Canada...Your card can not be input as you can not select a relevant Province / State.
Paypal is not accepted and neither are gift cards .......

Not sure if this has been mentioned already by someone else as the thread is obviously really old and can't be bothered to read through it all, but I managed to get Amazon Student with this card.

I just scanned my NUS Extra/ISIC card and sent it to their email address (can't remember which one but could dig it out if someone actually reads this lol) pleading ignorance and saying "my friend said if I send you this I can get Amazon Student" and a few days later I got a reply apologising for the slow reply, and stating they had activated student on my existing account. Then I paid £40 to upgrade to full Prime services (it didn't included Video, Music etc - just the deliveries) for the year.

Best thing is about a week or so ago I got an email from Amazon saying that since they were now upgrading the Student incentives to the complete range of services and I missed out, they were giving me a £19.50 credit on my account!

I'm pretty sure I was lucky with this and it's not standard practice to activate Student using just the NUS Extra card, but doesn't hurt to try. I don't think I'll try it again next year as I do feel a little guilty and thing that even at £80 for the year, Prime is an excellent deal.

Doesn't make sense, as that Groupon Deal for Writing Childrens Books etc is UK ONLY! (as far as I'm aware?), so ..... (what happened?, or ... ) lol.

NOT BAD AT ALL?! .. I read your Post .. can you dig up that Amazon email address for me please? lol. :-)

Ur 2nd link says "Once you've made one purchase on Amazon.co.uk using a discount code, the discount will apply to all eligible purchases until the end date of 31 August 2016, or until the cap of £1,500 is reached, whichever occurs first. You won't need to add it again. Discount codes expire on 31 August 2016."

So good till Aug 2016

Yup, that's the one - I literally said;

"Hi

One of my friends told me that I might be able to get Amazon Student membership if I send a scan of my NUS card to this email address - is this correct?

Thanks"

Good luck!

Is it so possible to get an nus card with that online course thing that was mentioned previously?

Does this work if you buy the course on the Groupon USA site ($19)?

Thanks,

Still struggling to find anything useful with a NUS discount so far. Oh well.

Jeezo, I think I've used my discount up over black friday cos it isn't being applied any more!!

"Discount codes expire on 31 August 2016 and the cumulative value of items against which each code may be applied is capped at £1,500."

Thanx, lol.

Which 'Code' etc?, can you elaborate on this for me please ..... :-)

From the NUS extra webpage when you login. There you have your personalised 5% discount code.

just renewed for 3 years now.. £35! :smiley: i guess as long as this is about you can keep doing it.

Just tried to log in to the Apple Edu Store and they are now using UNIDAYS to verify status. Has anyone registered with them and if so how?
