OK, So I fully appreciate that this has been highlighted before (a couple of times). But I definitely thought it was worth a refresh. Courses are listed below if you need one.
(It's now stated that you don't need a valid place of study to apply for the NUS Extra card at the moment using Endsleigh).
I purchased one last year and it's been great, if not just for the £39 annual Amazon Prime Student inc:
- Unlimited One-Day Delivery on millions of items - Access to over a million songs and hundreds of playlists, ad-free - Unlimited instant streaming of more than 15,000 titles with Prime Video
There are literally 100s of retailers that offer NUS discount, from the £5 (£4.50 NUS) Co-op meal deal, right up to Up to 54% discount at Thorpe Park Resorts.
I have taken the liberty of highlighting below the 40 most popular retailers (compiled from various sources on the internet) I could find below with their discount percentage and links to their websites.
I have also linked to online courses (from £9) in the first comment. £21 for a valid NUS card. No brainer.
I genuinely hope this helps.
6 months of Amazon Prime free when you email Amazon with a photo of the NUS card. See Student Prime page for details. - boyaloud
Use "Open University" to get 3 year card for £33 delivered. Saves having to do this process every 12 months. - joncoyle87
Courses available for £1.99 in post #192 - Apogee00
>>>>>
Do not forget to add the very best bit of this deal to your NUS cart at purchase.. The Gourmet Society is £2.99 for the year.. not £64.99! - 008
Read the forum before posting your question. All possible questions have already been asked (PI numbers, student ID numbers, etc.) and answered multiple times. It is rude to expect others to craft an individual answer just for you when you can't be bothered to read what they have already posted. - LongPockets
Nice Deal OP. Entertaining thread. ;-) - 365pizza
Shaw academy applicants... your "student number" is your email address as that is what you sign up to shaw academy and log in with. Worked for me anyway :smile: - Babbler
Not to mention the student price you pay at the cinema!

Maybe you should study and learn. Firstly its fraud and you will also lose your money if you could be bothered to read: NUS reserves the right to cancel any card where incorrect or fraudulent information is provided. In the event that information is found to be incorrect, you shall not be entitled to a refund.

No you dont.
And what obvious reasons? its not fraud and you are not making any kind of fraudulent card. Its a club and your paying to be a member of that club. If they find out they cancel your card (which is completely irrelevant because no company scans your card any more)
Ive been renewing my card with the same college course I did 5 years ago, just add an extra year on to the end date every time I go to renew. They know no better, for all they know Im just a slow learner.

Deal title slightly misleading as it infers that you get half price prime by having a student card, where as you only need a valid student e-mail address (anything with a .ac or .edu extension). Nothing stopping you from using a kids email account as they don't check.
If you want a student card for free to get cinema discounts etc. Just apply for a unidays account which will give you various student perks and discount.

Nope, once you get your login, go to the discounts on the NUS website, and select Apple and you're given a direct HE link to the Apple Store.
you could be randomly checked by Apple a be required to send further proof, but i wasn't, it just went through.
I hope they do. Uneducated fools trying to save 5% on BHS is a complete joke. The real benefit is being a student, the knowledge you learn to better your life... too many fools skip that bit and decide a life of ignorance and a tiny discount is more important. Why not get educated??

Yea I grabbed this last yea. Mine expires in March, I think I can use my course to buy another year though without paying for the elearning course again.
Amazon refunded the rest of my year, added 6 month free and then half price. Spotify half price too. 10% off random discounts at shops like Go Outdoors etc, comes in handy... if I ever shopped at coop it would be great but I don't. My sister wants one as she lives next door to a coop and constantly shops there, but she's a tool who doesn't really plan money wise and won't invest 30£ upfrton to save hundreds for the year *shrug*.

I also Keep going back to my clients raiding their coffers bumming money off them. I don't walk anymore I get chauffeured , I drink more mainly cheap bottles of Chateau Margaux 2009 or Dom Perignon. I've put weight on eating caviar and fillet mignon. I hang out at House of Commons or City clubs, frequent Harrods, private clubs. I could go on so be warned just for the sake of saving a few quid is it worth it, well this 49 year old thinks so.

I personally would encourage young people to spend that money on traveling around the world, not University, and would argue that this would have equal or in some cases greater benefits.
This list goes on. I don't understand what you are being so abrasive about tbh.

Aside from amazon prime the best buy I have had with my NUS card is the membership for Picturehouse cinema. Instead of £55 for a year it only costs £15! On top of that you get 2 free tickets, 2 free jamesons drinks, discounted tickets throughout the year and free screenings each month. Iv been able to take advantage of loads of freebies since I signed up and on Mondays its only £5 a ticket, bargain!

I've been using one of these for YEARS, I choose the option for "Study at Home" and every year it is accepted (although I do get the odd funny look on Mucky D's as I claim a free ice cream on the DriveThru with my granddaughter in the car, VERY mature student)
Businesses don't care if you're a student or not, they don't set up these discounts to lose money, just to get you through the door, and humans are creatures of habit, once you've been going to the same store for years you tend to stick with it, so the money comes in.
I have Amazon Prime, quick scan of my card and it was processed the same day, and I just use a regular email. You do have to send the scan from the email on your account, or change your account email whilst they process it.
Comedy Store offer half price tickets to NUS card holders, pays for itself first night out.
Businesses don't lose You save a few quid The NUS increases its funds

The people 'LOSING' out will be every genuine NUS card holder when retailers pull the discount because it's been abused to death. So probably about three million people. A fairly big deal if you ask me.

Although I have no objection to people gaining this deal (like any other) you do have to question whether these deals are going to be pulled for everyone with increasing amounts using them. These discounts meant for students not a 40 yr old man earning £110,000 p/y to get 10% off a Co-Op rice pudding.
Considering it is the generation where many of whom actually economically gained from going to University through grants etc... it is a bit of a joke to see people exploiting this when tuition fees are now £9000 p/y.

If someone steals your phone and gives you £13, will that be ok with you? Shall I stand by and watch or would you want me to help you?
It is a silly post not a deal, it is a deliberate attempt to coerce people into possibly committing fraud, this is not what this site is about and I am disappointed.

Free McFlurry when you order an extra value meal. I often resort to McDonalds when I'm working away from home doing wonky hours and need something to eat at 3am. Has paid for itself in no time. Also Amazon Prime Student has paid for itself within a couple of months. Also... saved £200 on fees for a conference I'm attending in a couple of months due to getting the student rate. Would recommend for sure :smile: Oh and mine has an expiry date of Summer 2018 yay :smile:

Not sure what point you are trying to make. My point (which you clearly missed) is that after paying tax non stop since leaving school, its nice to get some benefit like the current students do. The students will one day get their pension but they also currently get shed loads of discounts, which i have never got but they still moan while getting their freebies. Fact.

I very much doubt it, IMHO the NUS (as opposed to the local Student Unions) have long been more interested in selling the subscriptions than anything else. What else can justify the Alumni card, where they get a yearly subscription for a card even though you have long stopped being a student?

If you are indeed a university graduate, you can obtain an nus card via https://cards.nusextra.co.uk/affiliate/alumni
Having said that, obtaining it through the link i stated, i don't think you can then do the amazon deal as you won't have a uni e-mail.
E.T.A - Ok, maybe they've changed things, for the amazon deal you just need to send a pic of your NUS card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?docId=1000741813
I still saved a bunch of money regardless.

I don't see it as fraud, if anything it's a loophole. Shaw Academy is recognised by the NUS therefore if someone signs up to one of their courses they are eligible.
If Venezia is concerned about people committing fraud with this then they obviously feel strongly enough never to shop at Amazon or Starbucks & use Bing to avoid Google.

I haven't read through all of the responses so someone else may have answered this already. But the amazon 5% only works for the first £1500 you spend at Amazon, if you spend more than that then the discount is no longer applied. There's a new code out in August to start it again.

I was studying last year, I put in the details for my course and it went through, I don't really see the issue with that. I didn't know at the time I could have applied for the card to be honest, the college didn't tell us.
As for people applying for the card without actually having done any courses or anything, I get that you want a discount but the definition of fraud is "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain", wrongful deception intended to result in financial gain is exactly what you're doing, so you know, anyone saying it isn't fraud is wrong.

You won't be able to use one of these cards on the Unidays site - I had a card from Endsleigh last year and it does not recognise it as an eligible place of study. However, despite this, I made huge savings on the card through NUS Extra and in town - Wilkos in particular - 10% off in Exeter, but I could not use it in Wilkos in Torquay as was told by a member of staff that discount in Wilkos is only for purchases made at a store that has a University in town.

The fraud act says: Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
However there is no Wrongful or criminal deception as clearly if there was the NUS would have taken a enhanced stance or resort to some checks.
If there is no deception, there is not an argument. In law you need both the physical ie Actus Reus and the Mens Rea (the mental act). If either is missing there is no crime.

What was your course?? The idea is to sign up to a cheap course, some e-careers one worked a treat for me, through Groupon or Wowcher. Then you have genuine course details to give NUS then a genuine NUS card to give to Amazon. It's definitely not fraudulent if you sign up to a course and become a bona-fide student for a few quid.

Semi-related question...
Going through the process of getting braces (Very early stages) and the brochure for the private practice states 10% discount for students. I can get a NUS card outside of this deal anyway, but do you think this would be enough for me to be valid for it? In this situation, 10% is hundreds of pounds so I'm very keen to apply it. Are they entitled to query this/ask for proof? If they do, how should I respond?
I'm going to give it a go anyway but thought one of you lovely people may be able to help. Cheers.

The loophole would be applying for a course (the 1.99 courses posted in the comments for example) and then technically speaking you could say you're a student on that course.
The fraud part would be those who are putting in fake dates, changing dates etc, that is when it becomes wrongful.

Well If you are learning at home studying for a professional or vocational qualification then you can get it. So those who are paying for their own training say in IT or management should be able to qualify and that's within the rules.

People on here should be ashamed of themselves. This is for STUDENTS (be it young or old) who are REGISTERED at a high education establishment.
It's absolutely pathetic. You should listen to yourselves. "I can't get it to work", "what PI number should I use?" etc etc etc

Reported to NUS as apparent aiding and abetting fraud
TescoCookieBuyer2013
11 Feb 16#308
I don't agree, one simple way for NUS to do this is take the money, dispatch the cards and then cancel the cards, T&C states no refunds etc. One easy way for them to make money, the discounts aren't affecting NUS anyway they're still getting paid by us and the companies lol, most that will happen is some companies will decide to stop the NUS discount
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not shaming anyone, I just wanted to give my opinion as loads of people were saying it wasn't fraud. If someone feels they can exploit something and they aren't worried about consequences, good luck to them

Just signed up for this and everything has gone through fine and confirmed.
Simply ignore the University e-mail address box - it is not mandatory.
As others have stated you can get PRIME by sending a scan of your NUS card through to Amazon. I have done this purely for PRIME but I am sure I'll save a lot over the next year.
If you're older looking (like me) you can always be a mature student on the off chance some uppity jobsworth till oprtator questions you.

it's a legal loophole NOT fraud. Loopholes exist in all rule based systems; taxation, accounting, trading, hedging, internal controls etc etc people find loopholes & exploit them. it's up to the owner of the process with loophole to plug it. In the interim - fill your boots!
I open a new gmail account every month, followed by a new Amazon account. I then subscribe to Amazon Prime for free 30 days....I've been doing it for months. it's a loophole & I'll enjoy it until Amazon plugs it.

You also need to have Amazon Prime Student subscription to be able to use the 5% discount code that you get on your NUS website. It used to work without APS, but Amazon have changed the terms few months ago.
The 5% discount code that you get from NUS is not recognised at checkout if you are a normal prime member. :disappointed:

I've no problem with people getting these cards if they really are studying. The initial post however and specifically this:
That's bordering on encouraging people to submit fraudulent applications. I'd suggest that HUKD admin seriously consider rewording that.

Apart from the savings to be had, I'm actually really looking forward to do the course (photography) and already seen a digital marketing course as the next one on the list.
So £32 for what sounds like a good course and NUS membership.
On the money saving front...
Up to now I was paying £9.99 for Spotify a month, which as of March will now be £4.99.
So there's a nice £30 saving over the coming year before I've even started

Yeah, because 100% of graduates go on to use their degree, don't they? And when they can't, or have decided they want a change in career direction, they make sure they stay under the wage cap so they never have to pay it back.
False equivalence. Discounts are offered to people with a card. The card is offered to people who sign up for a course and pay £13. Courses are offered online for as little as £1.99. All above-board. No one has stolen anything.

As for your premise that graduates will 'make sure they stay under the wage cap', because apparently paying back 9% of earnings over that level is so horrible a prospect - that's such a level of stupid that I hope for your sake you're just a troll.

Just a warning for those who are concerned- those who aren’t are free to ignore this. You need to be eligible ie following a course. If you don’t and make up the course or pay £10 for an online course but don’t follow it, you’re likely committing two possible offences: fraud by false representation and obtaining services dishonestly. Plus every time you show the NUS card for a discount, you’re holding yourself out as a student. If you’re not in truth studying, and are dishonestly claiming the discount, you’re at risk. I’m a lawyer ok. It’s just not worth it. This thread is like watching the city riots a few years back: in the sense of people thinking if everyone does it (looting there), it must be ok. If you disagree with my view, fine, your risk. But don’t try and convince yourselves or others you’re not committing an offence. If you get detected, any jury would convict when a non-student is claiming a student discount, in full knowledge they’re not. About one in five UK adults has a criminal record. Much harder to get employment. If you’re desperate to get an NUS card, make sure you study an eligible course. And NB the alumni card terms make clear you have to have graduated from a relevant institution within the past 12 months.

I got a similar NUS Extra card deal last year and I contest that you don't need a university email address or standard university NUS (not extra) card. If we are talking about the NUS EXTRA card, Amazon refused to give me a discount on scanning this card alone.
If you are purchasing this mainly for the Prime discount, I advise that you check with Amazon first that the NUS Extra card alone will entitle you. If the answer is now different, I will be getting in touch myself again to get my discount too!!

This isn't an error on their part though so it's not really comparable to price errors or glitches which are normally down to someone's negligence. This is more of an open system which allows "students" an easy process of signing up. As I said, I'm not shaming anyone because as you can see I took advantage of the Tesco Cookie glitch a few of years ago but I do believe there should be a line. Its funny that someone mentioned Starbucks in reply to one of your comments, because celebrities and big companies have been using "loopholes" for years to pay less tax etc. but people are quick to criticise them but will happily exploit glitches, loopholes or whatever else they can find to save money (not directing that at you, just a point I'm making)

Please can anybody help - I want to sign up for the 3 year NUS card, under the Open University category as listed on here, but I've tried all sorts of combinations suggested here to get the PI number to be accepted, but nothing is working so far..I have tried 6 random digits, N/A, and 356 followed by 3 other random digits and nothing is being accepted..Does anyone have any other suggestions please?

The best thing about the NUS card is that airlines accept it as valid ID for domestic travel as well as travel between Britain and Ireland. For £13 a year it's like a Common Travel Area passport for undocumented migrants to easily move freely among the British Isles.

I think that's contrary to what people are experiencing here now, I've applied for the card (not been delivered yet) and have already got access to the 5% Amazon student discount code, if Amazon only recognise NUS and not the extra card then why do they still give the 5% discount?

I had an NUS card that I got free when I opened my first bank account, I think I used it maybe twice. I don't think paying for the privilege of tiny discounts on shops I never go to is a great deal, in the long term I reckon I'd be spending more money 'trying to save' than just not spending the money in the first place, but hey that's just me. That Amazon prime discount isn't bad though.
Also fyi if you have a standard university or college card, Mcdonalds accept that for a free cheeseburger/mcflurry with a meal, no NUS card needed!

unfortunately for you, anyone signing up for an online course whether you like it or not is a student. I'm not sure how or why this annoys you ?
If people have signed up for even the £2 course, they are not lying to anyone. What they have done is above board, is not fraud and is completely eligible.
Do you also see it as a problem when people start uni, get the NUS card but then drop out of Uni ?

Plenty of people appear to be trying to get a card without signing up for a course though and as Pete details that's possibly two offences. That is all we're saying. It's not that tricky, you don't need a degree for that...
If folks sign up for a course that then entitles them to receive a card then there is no issue.

Could it be that they want the address you are at when attending Uni, rather than your parents address?

The OU PI number is your personal identifier. It's the number the use for all your exams to anonymise you to the markers.
They are unique to each student and i know from when I did an OU degree the NUS validates them so once you cease studying the PI you had will not be validated by the NUS
I had few times when the OU had not fully processed my next course and the NUS site would not let me proceed until the OU fully processed my course through.

I was worried to post this a I got a 5 year one a couple of years ago. I'm do have a vague memory of small print and asterisk sign with a line about you don't need to be a student to apply. This is when they first came out of course so may have changed. My area is a CO-OP monopoly so i loyalty swipe/NUS swipe/ then store voucher to the max. i.e Spend £55.50 get loyalty swipe first, then NUS swipe to £50 then £5 off £50 spend...boom. Cater to which ever voucher you get from the store 50p off £4 £1.50 off £15 etc, so effectively i get 20% off most of the time which is what staff get at pay weekend only!!! Also , just got 6% off instore with card (whithout the education online form filling) for an Apple Air 2 then £135 off for trading in iPad 2 and iPhone 4...double boom

@pete525 Through purchasing online training, I am able to meet the criteria for an NUS Extra card (see link below, part time education is eligible). The discounts are obtained by virtue of having an NUS Extra card. Where's the fraud in that? It's not like it's a fake card. That said, I can see that one of two things will happen shortly, either the merchants will stop accepting the card or NUS Extra will need to tighten up their criteria like Unidays.
I don't get this. If I put in my real term dates (ending 2014) and buy a 3 year card, will it have an expiry date of 2014 on it, or 2019?

Obviously its just an option and down to the individual. Knowing those options, its then down to the individual. I must admit, I thought the same as you and have ordered one of the photography courses for £2, but whist it makes it a "genuine" (I use that term loosely) aplication, its then only valid for 1 year. I fully expect that once the card is accepted, it will run its course, so yes its a gamble, but maybe a worthwhile one.

PI is the OU's Personal Identifier, its the number you get to use on all work and exams. They are unique to each user and if you try making a random one up unless you get luck and get one of someone who's actually currently actively doing a course the NUS validation will reject it. PI's of people who have finished a course (such as I) will not validate if you are not actively studying.

My thoughts as well. Its a throwaway £2 that might prove useful. Still not sure whether to use this for just a year, or go for the whole hog with a dodgy 3 year OU course.

Cool ok ta. After reading back, I was half expecting a sarky comment from a lazy student with too much time on their hands suggesting I had to read every comment and write an essay to get the answer! lol
Ive actually got a MS Office 365 Student license for 3 years, which says its an Aussie Uni - but I'm guessing if I tried using that I'd possibly get that pulled! How likely is it they'd check? I only really want this for Amazon. I miss Prime after the sods cancelled my "family group" without explanation!

It's not working for me even though I purchased a legitimate Diploma in Photography course from Shaw Academy (£1.99)!
It just gives me a 'Oops theres been a problem, please try again' type message just after I enter my personal details. Maybe they got wise to this thread and pulled the plug. Has anyone else had success in the last hour or two?

I'd looked at that gourmet card on there too. I was thinking it was a bit naf as places like Prezzo only give a 25% discount (whereas taste give 50%) - then realised its the full bill including drinks. Thats a better option as when I go to a restaurant with my wife, the food bill is £30 and drinks £120 lol

Clearly it is people who post yet another iteration of the same question expecting someone to write yet another answer just for them rather than read the posts who are the lazy ones, and before you complain that there are too many posts to read them all (I have read them all), consider how many fewer posts there would be if the same question did not get posted over and over.

i have just ordered. Can the OP update the description to confirm if it is compulsory to actually sign up for a course or not because I just processed without and it does not look necessary to actually do so although there are notes to say where to buy cheap courses. the description isn't clear and I couldn't find anything in the first few pages of comments either. Also when selecting a course, is there a tried and tested course that has been accepted without actually having to sign up? I did "Home Study Courses" and made up a number. Thanks

Not everyone who likes a bargain is on benefits: I am 62 years old and work 35 hours a week, my husband is 71 years and works 35 hours a week (physical work). We are both students by the fact that we are completing Apprenticeships remotely via a FE Business College for English, Maths and IT as part of NVQ level 1, 2 and 3 vocational qualifications. It's not necessary to be a wailing student attending a university building for a few hours a week without doing any paid-work the rest of the week, to qualify for this deal.

Please explain how this IS a fraud? The deal is if you are on a valid course you are eligible to buy one of these cards, if somebody decides to lie and claim they are studying something when they are not, how is that the fault of the OP or HUKD in general?
Your best deal to date was about a tub of Ben & Jerry's, if somebody decided to go steal a tub rather than pay for it, does that mean you are advocating theft? Should that deal have been removed because somebody could do something different from the offer and try something illegal?
Yes there are some people here openly scamming the NUS, but there are plenty who are not, I am eligible and didn't know about the deal, should I suffer because others take it upon themselves to lie about something? I think not, if you do why are you even on this site?
If people really must complain they should be doing it about the people asking for PI numbers rather than about a totally legitimate deal (although just moving on would be better still)

A PI number is needed though to complete that, which I suspect might give the game away if a "dodgy" number is entered. I wonder if anyone has managed to successfully blag a card with this method. (I can see people have applied but until they get the card, no one is the wiser.
Opening post
(It's now stated that you don't need a valid place of study to apply for the NUS Extra card at the moment using Endsleigh).
I purchased one last year and it's been great, if not just for the £39 annual Amazon Prime Student inc:
- Unlimited One-Day Delivery on millions of items
- Access to over a million songs and hundreds of playlists, ad-free
- Unlimited instant streaming of more than 15,000 titles with Prime Video
There are literally 100s of retailers that offer NUS discount, from the £5 (£4.50 NUS) Co-op meal deal, right up to Up to 54% discount at Thorpe Park Resorts.
I have taken the liberty of highlighting below the 40 most popular retailers (compiled from various sources on the internet) I could find below with their discount percentage and links to their websites.
I have also linked to online courses (from £9) in the first comment. £21 for a valid NUS card. No brainer.
I genuinely hope this helps.
6 months of Amazon Prime free when you email Amazon with a photo of the NUS card. See Student Prime page for details.

Firstly its fraud and you will also lose your money if you could be bothered to read:
NUS reserves the right to cancel any card where incorrect or fraudulent information is provided. In the event that information is found to be incorrect, you shall not be entitled to a refund.
And New Look and BHS
And what obvious reasons? its not fraud and you are not making any kind of fraudulent card. Its a club and your paying to be a member of that club. If they find out they cancel your card (which is completely irrelevant because no company scans your card any more)
Ive been renewing my card with the same college course I did 5 years ago, just add an extra year on to the end date every time I go to renew. They know no better, for all they know Im just a slow learner.

If you want a student card for free to get cinema discounts etc. Just apply for a unidays account which will give you various student perks and discount.
Only the government will know you're trying to cheat the system and will send the police around to your house to investigate all your activities.
It also makes you eligible for Adobe student subscription savings masses.
Well, I think it's down to NUS to be more rigorous with their checks if they want to avoid this sort of thing happening.
Shame on them.
We offer students a free Cheeseburger, Mayo Chicken or McFlurry Original with the purchase of an Extra Value Meal or Wrap Meal if they show a valid Student ID or UNiDAYs iD when ordering.
you could be randomly checked by Apple a be required to send further proof, but i wasn't, it just went through.

Amazon refunded the rest of my year, added 6 month free and then half price.
Spotify half price too.
10% off random discounts at shops like Go Outdoors etc, comes in handy... if I ever shopped at coop it would be great but I don't. My sister wants one as she lives next door to a coop and constantly shops there, but she's a tool who doesn't really plan money wise and won't invest 30£ upfrton to save hundreds for the year *shrug*.
Heat :smile:
To be honest I forget I have it, could have used it in McDonalds a few times as my partner normally gets a cheeseburger. Must remember!!!
I do use it primarily for Amazon though, 5% discount including on video games :grin: so has paid for itself already and have made use of Prime video and definitely Prime deliveries.
2: Because not everybody has the intellect and/or ambition.
3: Because not everybody can afford it.
4: Because £9k per year goes a long way elsewhere. I personally would encourage young people to spend that money on traveling around the world, not University, and would argue that this would have equal or in some cases greater benefits.
This list goes on. I don't understand what you are being so abrasive about tbh.
It will be a shame for people who are genuinely entitled.

What's the best way to get a 3 year card?
the only mugs here are those who do not take advantage of these offers..
Thought it was only the Mathematics course that was that easy! :grin:
Know anything about it? :grin:
Guess that doesn't come across well on here.
I took advantage of the offer myself you know!
Free Microsoft software Including SQL server, Windows Server and Visual Studio
My 2 cents!
Businesses don't care if you're a student or not, they don't set up these discounts to lose money, just to get you through the door, and humans are creatures of habit, once you've been going to the same store for years you tend to stick with it, so the money comes in.
I have Amazon Prime, quick scan of my card and it was processed the same day, and I just use a regular email. You do have to send the scan from the email on your account, or change your account email whilst they process it.
Comedy Store offer half price tickets to NUS card holders, pays for itself first night out.
Businesses don't lose
You save a few quid
The NUS increases its funds
I don't see a downside.
Maybe the Op will regret posting this deal when his/her next iMac purchase has to be made at full price because he/she posted this deal
Considering it is the generation where many of whom actually economically gained from going to University through grants etc... it is a bit of a joke to see people exploiting this when tuition fees are now £9000 p/y. Remember it is our generation who will be looking after you all when you are old.... :face_with_monocle:
It is a silly post not a deal, it is a deliberate attempt to coerce people into possibly committing fraud, this is not what this site is about and I am disappointed.
sorry don't get how you can do this I out in Endsleigh as the organisation and it takes you to a screen to put the course and says they check. Where does it say you don't need a valid place of study.
If the NUS constantly send out these emails., how does that constitue fraud?
Please define.
wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
If you study the broadsheets or the Racing Post...I doubt it
Having said that, obtaining it through the link i stated, i don't think you can then do the amazon deal as you won't have a uni e-mail.
E.T.A - Ok, maybe they've changed things, for the amazon deal you just need to send a pic of your NUS card: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature.html?docId=1000741813
I still saved a bunch of money regardless.
Cant find a converter that actually works on my phone.
If Venezia is concerned about people committing fraud with this then they obviously feel strongly enough never to shop at Amazon or Starbucks & use Bing to avoid Google.
As for people applying for the card without actually having done any courses or anything, I get that you want a discount but the definition of fraud is "wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain", wrongful deception intended to result in financial gain is exactly what you're doing, so you know, anyone saying it isn't fraud is wrong.

If you are 18 or over and able to provide proof of enrolment in at least one course at a university or college located in the UK, you may be eligible to enrol in Amazon Student through an alternative process.
To provide proof of age and enrolment, please send an e-mail to [email protected]amazon.co.uk from the e-mail address associated with your Amazon.co.uk account.
In the message, include a scan, photo or screenshot of one of the following:
• A valid NUS Extra or NUS Apprentice Extra card (must show your name, institution, and date of expiry).
• 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).
If we determine you're eligible, we'll send you a follow-up e-mail within 3-5 business days that contains a link which allows you to complete the sign-up process without an .ac.uk e-mail address. However, you must sign-up for Amazon Student within 14 days of receiving this follow-up e-mail, otherwise you will need to contact Customer Service again to register. By completing this sign-up process, you agree to our Terms and Conditions.
Never knew that i could get Amazon prime free for 6 months as a student at uni
Heat added
Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain.
However there is no Wrongful or criminal deception as clearly if there was the NUS would have taken a enhanced stance or resort to some checks.
If there is no deception, there is not an argument. In law you need both the physical ie Actus Reus and the Mens Rea (the mental act). If either is missing there is no crime.
NUS card people get paid, people save money. It's hardly like some fat politician stealing peoples pensions, get a grip of yourself, Ned Flanders.
specially the ''place of study''
and the course start date and end date ( i want to apply for 3 years)
just asking to make sure i get it right 1st time and actually get it
many thanks
Prime and Spotify here I come!
I also have saved 5% on everything for 3 months now at Amazon and enjoyed 6 months of free prime.
Frankie & Benny's 20% off is a regular I use, it's not accepted everywhere but a hell of a lot of places do take it, and it's the best £13.00 I ever spent.
Going through the process of getting braces (Very early stages) and the brochure for the private practice states 10% discount for students. I can get a NUS card outside of this deal anyway, but do you think this would be enough for me to be valid for it? In this situation, 10% is hundreds of pounds so I'm very keen to apply it. Are they entitled to query this/ask for proof? If they do, how should I respond?
I'm going to give it a go anyway but thought one of you lovely people may be able to help. Cheers.
The fraud part would be those who are putting in fake dates, changing dates etc, that is when it becomes wrongful.
they couldn't validate my chosen course... please send my student card details or scan of ID... kept my money too! I lost 16.00 it's the risk you take I guess!

I work for them so can confirm.
It doesn't work and I suspect it's been pulled because of people abusing the offer.

Sadly though I can see many places soon stopping accepting NUS Extra cards if this deal catches on.
It's absolutely pathetic. You should listen to yourselves. "I can't get it to work", "what PI number should I use?" etc etc etc
Let me repeat, it is for STUDENTS!!
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not shaming anyone, I just wanted to give my opinion as loads of people were saying it wasn't fraud. If someone feels they can exploit something and they aren't worried about consequences, good luck to them
That's Britain 2016, you're welcome to it.
Simply ignore the University e-mail address box - it is not mandatory.
As others have stated you can get PRIME by sending a scan of your NUS card through to Amazon. I have done this purely for PRIME but I am sure I'll save a lot over the next year.
If you're older looking (like me) you can always be a mature student on the off chance some uppity jobsworth till oprtator questions you.

I wouldve thought that was pretty obvious to anyone with half a brain.
What is the PI number for open university students, What is it? Without it this deal is useless as it wont allow checkout without this PI number
amazon just with a uni email address and spotify with UNIdays which is free.
All it asked me for was an option uni email which I left blank, My card was dispatched today
I open a new gmail account every month, followed by a new Amazon account. I then subscribe to Amazon Prime for free 30 days....I've been doing it for months. it's a loophole & I'll enjoy it until Amazon plugs it.
People saying its fraud need to get a life.
The 5% discount code that you get from NUS is not recognised at checkout if you are a normal prime member. :disappointed:
It's always been word of mouth and strictly do not post online.
NUS will now close this loophole and you've ruined it for everyone.
Anyone know what to do with this?!?! :smile:
But I do get Spotify for a fiver a month which is worth the card alone. Haven't used it much more than that, to be fair. So many other vouchers out there. Oh wait, bought a £999 apple laptop for £850 but then it was easily obtainable for £879 anyway.
Voted hot.
Venezia's telling the teacher. Venezia's telling the teacher. Ner-ner-ne- ner ner. Parrrrrrp! < Raspberry. :stuck_out_tongue:
Poor, sad t*@
They'll be reporting ME to teacher now, because they will think that T*@ means something bad but that only reflects on their own vocabulary.
Unlike some it's not fraudulent either, as I'm a post grad student who has a family - and for the purposes of the HUKD scum balls, my job is related to my degree subject matter and I have no student debt.
I've no problem with people getting these cards if they really are studying. The initial post however and specifically this:
That's bordering on encouraging people to submit fraudulent applications. I'd suggest that HUKD admin seriously consider rewording that.
I've just purchased an online photography course from Groupon
What's the next steps :smile:
adobe.com/uk/…tml
I am an Alumni but have not brought a Nus card since leaving.
How long does the Nus card last a year or until Spetember when new students arrive?
Apart from the savings to be had, I'm actually really looking forward to do the course (photography) and already seen a digital marketing course as the next one on the list.
So £32 for what sounds like a good course and NUS membership.
On the money saving front...
Up to now I was paying £9.99 for Spotify a month, which as of March will now be £4.99.
So there's a nice £30 saving over the coming year before I've even started

As for your premise that graduates will 'make sure they stay under the wage cap', because apparently paying back 9% of earnings over that level is so horrible a prospect - that's such a level of stupid that I hope for your sake you're just a troll.
NUS Are making £12+ for printing a card
The shop/restaurant prices are massively marked up anyway so giving a 10% discount is not going to effect their margin heavily.
Lighten up!!

If you are purchasing this mainly for the Prime discount, I advise that you check with Amazon first that the NUS Extra card alone will entitle you. If the answer is now different, I will be getting in touch myself again to get my discount too!!
But the computer says yes. :smile:
What details are you putting in when you sign up (course name, type, dates etc) ?
Once I had used the voucher and logged in, it then gave me more details and a link at the bottom of the screen. I have now purchased an NSU card for a year, I can always renew if next year, if I make good use of the card :wink:
Also fyi if you have a standard university or college card, Mcdonalds accept that for a free cheeseburger/mcflurry with a meal, no NUS card needed!
most people will sign up for a course or be a graduate, and these are both allowable reasons for getting an NUS card with all the benefits it brings.
Any thought / comment on this ??
a lot o ppl will lose their money...
NUS reserves the right to cancel any card where incorrect or fraudulent information is
provided. In the event that information is found to be incorrect, you shall not be entitled to a
refund
No fraudulent information in any of that process.
I thought it was going to be straight forward
If people have signed up for even the £2 course, they are not lying to anyone. What they have done is above board, is not fraud and is completely eligible.
Do you also see it as a problem when people start uni, get the NUS card but then drop out of Uni ?
Does anybody know where I can find this?
It wont let me continue without it.
Thanks
anyone knows what that is? how do you get a NUS with OU?
Also if i wanted to apply( and I am not studying )can I do this and put home study in the box?
PM me with 500 words on "How I spent my summer holiday" and I will reward you with your personal answer.

I'm gonna see if I can cancel mine.
If folks sign up for a course that then entitles them to receive a card then there is no issue.
HTH.
If you sign up to a course, fine. If not? less so...
Or dare I ask seeing that you're from Bridgend (you could float either boat)!
650 courses sold since yesterday
I'm more interested in if you can get the NUS extra with a dimploma course
Also this guy got one
The OU PI number is your personal identifier. It's the number the use for all your exams to anonymise you to the markers.
They are unique to each student and i know from when I did an OU degree the NUS validates them so once you cease studying the PI you had will not be validated by the NUS
I had few times when the OU had not fully processed my next course and the NUS site would not let me proceed until the OU fully processed my course through.

Actually yes you can, but it's classed as a bolt on...
"If you would like to get a bolt-on after you have purchased an NUS extra card you will have to purchase a replacement card for the cost of £5 + the cost of the bolt-on. "
Thanks
Code 1POUND for 3 months for a quid.
I've lost count at the number of taste card trials Ive had!
"If you would like to get a bolt-on after you have purchased an NUS extra card you will have to purchase a replacement card for the cost of £5 + the cost of the bolt-on."
How can I answer this??
And just by chance you get a patronising reply from someone about asking questions already answered, just use the ignore button. I thiunk it makes them even more upset! X)
"Manchester Met Students Union", you can opt for 3 years without PI number.
Dont need to purchase a valid course either.
Dont need to purchase a valid course either.
Possible try and find a student union closer to you, if you dont want to use Manchester. Might still work.
"Open Uni Student Association", apparently doesnt ask for PI number either
They are unique to each user and if you try making a random one up unless you get luck and get one of someone who's actually currently actively doing a course the NUS validation will reject it.
PI's of people who have finished a course (such as I) will not validate if you are not actively studying.
I noticed that putting in OP, it gives start dates of September for course starts. Would that mean the card has a start date from Sept 2016 (Or 2015 if you put in last year), or be from your application date?
Where are they? Are they courses at Endsleigh?
Ive actually got a MS Office 365 Student license for 3 years, which says its an Aussie Uni - but I'm guessing if I tried using that I'd possibly get that pulled! How likely is it they'd check? I only really want this for Amazon. I miss Prime after the sods cancelled my "family group" without explanation!
It just gives me a 'Oops theres been a problem, please try again' type message just after I enter my personal details.
Maybe they got wise to this thread and pulled the plug. Has anyone else had success in the last hour or two?

The thing is, the person I was asking, answered my question without any hang ups which rather suggests its you who's the idiot for continuing to moan with your same standard reply. Maybe your energies would be better spent studying instead of thread spoiling. Hope that helps.
Also, what exactly do you have a problem with this site having a deal for a NUS card? You do know they're not illegal don't you?
PS How did you get on at the police station?
I've now have a coarse in excel which will help me in my business plus I get the discount. I don't see how I'm defrauding anyone.
(that's the joke out of the way)thanks op I will be applying as I pay full price for amazon prime each year. ha ha.
You have just called me a spiv, benefit scrounger and chancer.
Do you know anything about libel?
I'm neither on benefits of any sort, I'm not a scrounger nor a spiv either.
Now, please inform the police when you arrive to complain about this criminal activity, that you also do not understand what a NUS card is, since you do not need to be a university student to get one. Oh - and ask them to arrest you for your libellous comments youve made above! X)
I accept your praise with great aplomb.oO
HUKD should not be promoting this Chav benefit grabbing mentality.
Nesima, can I suggest you report the site to the police and post back what they tell you so we can all have a good chuckle at your expense. I'd love to be a fly on the wall at the station after you've left too! Fat policeman rolling about on the floor kicking their legs in the air is one possible scenario.
Good luck with your courses. We need doers - not moaners. X)
Your best deal to date was about a tub of Ben & Jerry's, if somebody decided to go steal a tub rather than pay for it, does that mean you are advocating theft? Should that deal have been removed because somebody could do something different from the offer and try something illegal?
Yes there are some people here openly scamming the NUS, but there are plenty who are not, I am eligible and didn't know about the deal, should I suffer because others take it upon themselves to lie about something? I think not, if you do why are you even on this site?
If people really must complain they should be doing it about the people asking for PI numbers rather than about a totally legitimate deal (although just moving on would be better still)
