​I recommend an English course :wink:

Code SECRETSAVE brings down to £8.10

Highly misleading title, so it's £21 to get the NUS card.

You don't need an NUS card for Amazon Prime Student - I swapped over to it the other day and got a partial refund on my previous 1 year subscription (which was nice). I just had to enter my student email address online, to which they emailed a confirmation email to that address with a click through link......I'm not a NUS member.

Renewed mine for another year.

Right thats my card expired on the 6th October, no more cheap Coop food....

What do I do now ? lol

maxmix

Anyone know of any courses i can buy, trying to register another prime account?

Also in basic terms how to do everything, before i used my uni email address and it was straight forward

most student offers just need a academic email I find. had one of these last year and never used it.

if i understand correctly buy a course on living social for £9, register on ecareers, buy nus card for £12, provide details to amazon about nus card.is that it?

Just to confirm, this allows you to apply for an nus card

just used my NUC card to purchase Office 365 for University (4yrs subscription) for £59

Your future is set to change, but you will be spending a lot and you owe it all to Pdog. :smirk:

Thank you so much. Thanks to you, I have become a student again. This will change my future, and I owe it all to you.

Not sure if this helps anyone, but the Online Booking keeping course is available for £9

https://www.livingsocial.com/gb/cities/1569-national-uk/deals/1563956-online-course-in-bookkeeping-and-accounting

I am also not sure how you unexpire a post?

thanks, might give it a try then...

Hi,
can anyone tell me what information is actually printed on the card.

Reason being, i was considering joining local council run leisure centre gym via this method, but on the website they stipulate only full time students are eligible for the discount.
Does it state full/part time, and the college/uni name on the card?

cheers

Is anyone aware of any similar deals available now please?

Working again?

Just tried the link but the deal now seems to be over. :disappointed:

does NUS even need proof that you're studying a course?

Any one graduated from their courses yet?

Can anyone answer whether it has worked for academic staff without the need for proof?

If you select say your local college/uni nus extra contact them and send the card there it's only online places they will send the card out to you like open uni (when i was student open uni they contacted them about my card) and a lot of the places listed on that free course site are not listed as nus supported they offer there own student offers.

Me too - thanks

I keep trying to sign on to Amazon Student (sent them proof and got a link back) but keep getting the "it's not you, it's us" error - any way around it?

My student email still works, even though i haven't been to uni in a few years. I'll see if i can get away with one.

EDIT: AND IT WORKS :smiley:

£9 course SOLD OUT :disappointed:

Cool - thanks will try that next time

Been doing this for a few years, but you don't have to cancel your premium, just "upgrade" to the student one and it changes over.

Is Spotify half price for 12 months only or is it for the duration of your NUS card? Anyone gone for the 3 year card for £32?

You don't need an NUS card for Amazon Prime Student - I swapped over to it the other day and got a partial refund on my previous 1 year subscription (which was nice). I just had to enter my student email address online, to which they emailed a confirmation email to that address with a click through link......I'm not a NUS member.

anyone else get the email saying they are eligible but no enrollment confirmation e-mail ?

I also managed to get the 4 year Office 365 University Subscription for £59.99. Great deal. Didn't even have to wait to get my NUS card. Just got the NUS card number from my account and used it to order on the Microsoft website.

Sorted..was on the wrong site :smiley:

The same way you do if you sign up for a course.

NUS requires no proof, its pointless signing up for a course, just put your local college or uni and youre done.

I've purchased the course any signed up for nus card, although it seems that it has to be nus extra. fingers crossed amazon accept a scan of the card
if not I've got a language course to do lol

Brilliant, I always wanted to learn another language... Who am I kidding :-) Thanks op!

Futurelearn just lists the courses. Universities run them. If you can get an NUS card through being registered on a course at 'Ecareers' I'm sure you could if you were on a course through, for example, The University of Warwick.

Did you need to show the nus card though? Some unis are not nus affiliated.

​ask Futurelearn and let us know

I am a member of staff at a University and got an NUS card, what details did you put into AmazonPrime regarding Graduation Date/Academic Level/Subject? Thanks

Daft question but one I want to ask. If you sign up with an ac.uk email and then verify it via a link doesn't that mean that university staff could also claim Amazon prime cheaper?

Why bother paying £9 for the Ecareers course? There are dozens of free online courses at Universities listed at https://www.futurelearn.com/courses/categories

Surely you could sign up for an NUS card if registered for any of those?

where do u put the code ?

Out of interest, what details did people input for graduation details etc, when signing up for Amazon Prime Student? Have already sent the proof via email and been approved. Are people putting they are a first year student? and what end year? Thanks

Got an approval mail in 4 hours of sending a copy of NUS card .. Now an Amazon Prime member..Thanks OP

I was approved for Amazon student too but keep getting this:

Signup Failed
Our apologies -- an error occurred while processing your information. It's not you, it's us. Please try again by completing the form below.

Been approved for Amazon Student so transferred my membership from the normal prime. I had Amazon Family but when changing to student membership lost this benefit but not too much of a loss for me the saving in the fee will make up for the 20% discount on the nappies I was getting.

Lifetime ? What are you going to become ? A Ninja or a Monk from Tibet :smiley:

Been approved for Amazon student, but could anyone tell me what to enter in 'Where did you attend University' and the other info as I'm doing home course.

Thanks been approved for amazon student!

What you do fill in for length of course?

The code 'secretsave' didn't work for me but the code 'cloud10' did for me today (9 October)

Remember to take the 6 month trial, you do get the full benefit of prime now even though it says in your account to end the trial and pay £39 to get instant video. Just ignore it as its included.

All gone through here - so now amazon prime at a price I'd happily pay for the limited use of it :smiley:

Thanks again.

​thanks.

yes I was sure it was never this easy, everyone's a winner!

keep a look when out shopping too, you'd be surprised how many shops give student discount!

Can confirm same, took photo front and back, reply almost exactly 48 hours after sending advising me to go to sign up again. Thank you OP for this, had tried to sign up previously with my NUS card and got rejected, so thanks for the updated info! Hot +1

who got the £2.99 isic add on?



https://www.isic.org

What else ya got?

Well firstly and coincidently my actual degree is in English. I'm now studying law and if you start working on definitions it is important to define every aspect of the statement. Not just the elements that suit you.

So now we know how Amazon defines a student.

How do they define 'full time?' Also 'part time?'

How do they define education?

You could then argue that the open university offering degrees online over a non defined time period does not equate to being a student.

Thousands of people will disagree with you.

However I think it is important to note that Amazon. The King of your definitions are accepting people from this thread as meeting their definition of student.


So... What else ya got?

Pity I haven't got that quidco offer too ah well guess you can't gave it all.

Pity I haven't got that quidco offer too ah well guess you can't gave it all.

Lol I love the self righteous student comments. Hard up, in a budget, struggling...

Yet have a look at a Saturday night, pubs, clubs and bars full of students spending 100 quid in a night without having a second thought.

Then live on beans on toast for a week screaming poverty. Rest assured though they will be out next Saturday night.

As a 'grown up' I wish I could have 400 sheets a month for drinking. And I think I'm being reserved about the cash spent!

As far as cheating the system. You don't have to be in a university to be a student. And let's be honest, people are paying a few quid to become students and gets few discounts. There are plenty (please note NOT all) of students out there who have just went to further education because they fancy a few more years before entering the work force.

Not all students are trying to further their careers. Remember before you preach about poor students a lot of us have already played that card and know the truth :wink:

How long is valid a NUS card? thanks

Its asking on the NUS site for my student password, right after address, any ideas??

I sent picture of front and back of my card to: [email protected]

It did take about 2 days also make sure you use the email address registered with Amazon.

What's the student password?

Thanks - I've just forwarded on my other mail so I'll see what happens!

Same here so tried again today and I had a reply email to send the image to [email protected]

/quote]
Just got a random email from quidco saying if I made a purchase before 31/10 I would get a £10 bonus.
I think that my balance being at zero may have prompted them into this.

Just got my Amazon reply, I'm now active prime member, thanks

Is it only the linguaphone course or does the office 2013 one count?

Hi, the NUS site is asking what is the length of the course and what course level it is... What did you guys put?

Awesome!
Also, I'm actually gonna learn french now :-D

Thanks for ordering your NUS extra card!
Your card will take approximately 7 working days to be produced and delivered.

Great info - thanks

I saw in the window of McDonalds today actually them advertising this, it now says Unidays card or Student ID - depends if they take this as "Student ID" - someone previously mentioned they don't take NUS card anymore.

Can you use this card at McDonald's?

Sorry if this has already been asked but can you get apple discount with this or do you need a unidays account? Cheers

how do you get the pizza express voucher?

Worked for me, discount code not working though.
Quidco tracking at 8% plus got a £10 bonus from quidco, for purchasing before the 31/10.
So after taking into account the £21 outlay,
I will get
£10 quidco bonus
£10 pizza express voucher
£0.72 quidco cashbach
Total £20.72. So it's costume £0.28. Think I can make that up, on discounts and Amazon prime.
Many thanks to all especially op.

Are these courses any good? I can't find much online.

How long did it take people to hear from Amazon? I emailed on Monday and not heard back yet...

I e-mailed a copy of my NUS card and will wait and see. Thanks for the heads up

I don't understand the link? it take you to a course page not NUS page?

you don't need to enrol on any course to get the NUS card, I just made up the details and received the card.

I think someone needs to post a new deal. From reading the comments the main thing that keeps coming up is that you now can get Amazon Prime and student discounts with an Nus card. Previously this was not the case, Amazon would require an ac.uk email address.

Now it seems Amazon has done Uturn saying a picture of the Nus card is acceptable. From previous deals on here there seems to be a lot of people out there with Nus cards but not so much the ac.uk. They will now benefit from this.

Are you instead suggesting people should act to fraudulently gain discounts and services they are not entitled to use? Just how exactly do you plan on correctly entering your academic level of study, place of study and graduation year when you are using a £9 liguaphone language course?
It's aimed at students on a limited budget, not greedy grownups who want to play the system to their own advantage.

Will NOT work on amazon prime as an educational email address is needed (.ac.uk). NUS cards have nothing to do with it whatsoever.

Perfect for gettin in clubs during freshers week as every single club is booked by the uni and is student only around here.

bought from https://products.office.com/en-gb/university and went thru the student verification process and used my NUC card number to buy

It does say a picture of your NUS card on Amazons site now which it didn't when I tried a while back. I've sent it so will update here when they get back to me, thanks

How do I find out my 'student password' on the NUS website? would it be with the voucher for the language course I just purchased?!

Amazon.

Am I getting confused between NUS card and NUS extra as well as NUS discount of 5% and amazon student.

I thought for NUS extra you just need to paste in the code.
Never knew about amazon student.

It says one of the things they accept is a scan of an NUS card on the website, so don't see why they would refuse

I tried Amazon a while back with my NUS and they said no! I tried really hard and they was having none of it. I didn't send pictures though, just the number so I will try again thanks

Will the NUS card that you receive have an expiry date on it? If so, what will it be?

I did the Endsleigh NUS card deal last year through this site. I have received an email from NUS saying that my card has expired and if I want to renew it for £12 - if anybody, did this deal as well, you should be able to just buy another card without having to pay for a new course.

Never mind, the problem existed between the chair and the keyboard,oops! My fault as I was going on about and through the NUS card buying process, not the course! Thanks though.

with the button that says purchase my deal. Not that it matters the code is expired

Thanks, but where do you get to put the code in? I didn't find it anywhere in the purchase process.

Worth doing this just for the 50% off Spotify, save £60 a year.

Thanks, but where do you get to put the code in? I didn't find it anywhere in the purchase process.

ok thought it had expired.

Where do I enter the 'SECRETSAVE' code? I get all the way to enter my payment details but nowhere to enter any discount codes.

Also if any of you are BECTU Union members, you can get an NUS Extra card through the BECTU Plus site

http://www.bectuplus.co.uk/members_entrance.htm (under the Lifestyle section)

Are you sure you need a course? I paid £9 for the course and did not even enrol yet I have my card number already and states I'll get my card in the post in 7days. Also i think it went through because I can access the app and get all the student offers as the app states the card number.

Agree - 'question', 'know', 'because', 'couldn't HAVE', and a few missing full stops and commas should do it.

What is the cheapest course to enrol on please?

Hi guys trying to use the secretsave discount code but doesn't come off, giving an error message. Has it stopped working or maybe an issue using my phone browser, thanks.

Gourmet Society for £3.99 too :-)

Thanks for the Amazon info! Been hoping there was a way to get the NUS card working for it :smiley:

Just emailed them and will wait and see.

Got this card before primarily for spotify - nice to get some other use out of it :smiley:

The code provided by the livingsocial website may not be valid on eCareers until up to three days after payment - apparently they deliver the codes over rather than it being automated.

Minor inconvenience if you're trying to sort it quickly. Mine isn't going through yet.

Good deal when it all goes through, though. I used to save a fortune on my old student card, so to have it again would be awesome.

Thanks, signed up to course and NUS card. Fingers crossed Amazon will accept it.

Great! Thank you so much thats what I was lookong for!

thanks :smiley:

Would this work with the student discount at Apple?

Sounds like a good deal, I'm in.

wrong! I sent a picture last week of my NUS card to Amazon, and had it validated. Amazon will send you an email so you can subscribe to prime as a student without a .ac.uk account.

Very Hot Deal :wink:

maxmix

PS Voucher never worked when I signed up, £9 for a year of Spanish and £12 for a NUS card, fine by me :wink:

one quisten though how do they even no I'm on an ecareers thing that I spent the £9 on cos I just filled it out and it went through couldn't I of just done that without getting the £9 course

4.2% tcb

This is a deal to get a NUS card if you are not a student. THE NUS card will get you access to Amazon Prime Student, Spotify and Groceries as the OP mentions. There are other discounts you can get with this card.

To get the card you need to:
1. Buy the deal on Living Social and then register on the e-careers website. There is a promo code mentioned in an earlier post to bring the cost down
2. Purchase the NUS card (using the e-careers details) and wait for this to arrive.

If you want Amazon Student Prime, you need to be a student which Amazon verify either using a .ac.uk address or proof of a NUS card which you send to them to the address the OP mentions.

Hope I got that right.

This is so confusing I'm voting cold

I'm pretty sure you don't know what you're talking about.

I told you the offer and have done it myself, why is everyone so smart?

If you don't have an college email you can send an email to them including a picture of your nus card and they'll verify it and your in. I've just done it. Plus if you get refer some1 and they sign up in 7 days you'll get £5 credit on your account.

I'm pretty sure that Amazon Student requires a valid .ac.uk or evidence of a university course. They don't just accept an NUS card as proof.

The promo code 'SECRETSAVE' brings it down to £7.20 for me

signed up fingers crossed. Cheers OP

for the Amazon student offer of free for 6 mths then Half price simply email a picture of your card to [email protected]

will the course last for only a year? so is this only a year worth or is can you renew your card every year without signing up for a new card?

Do ecareers give you a .ac.uk email?

Won't this just work if u sign up for the NUS card. Do they actually check?

you might as well register on the ecareers site but as someone said it seems that NUS might not check

Do you have to actually register your details into the course to be able to get the NUS card or is just having paid for the voucher enough?

​ok thanks just gonna wait it for it to arrive is there alot of stuff u can use the 5% discount on u have found?

can anyone help me with this on what I have to do really need it for Amazon

He means this deal, as posted by the OP, would cost £21. Not £9.

Highly misleading title, so it's £21 to get the NUS card.

happy days I'm good with that I'll try and rinse every saving I can out of the year and the 5% discount on Amazon plus cheaper prime

yep

I went and opted 'other'

ECareers

When signing up for the nus card, What do you type under
'1. Your Course
Please enter your place of study'

Also at the moment when you sign up for an NUS Extra you can get a £10 Pizza Express voucher!
