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

What's the score with nus card now? I have had mine for few years never used it last year but got another today.in past all I did was go on to nus site got code and then on Amazon site and worked. But I'm reading now about Amazon student do you need to be part of this for it to work now? Also in past you could use the 5% discount right away before getting your card as code to use was on site when logged in. But why is it not working?
Also what are the benefits of have Amazon student if you already have nus card even more % off? It says something like 31st October 2016 this Amazon student ends?? That's less than month away. Very confused about it all before nus card was all I needed and my main reason was for Amazon like before but will use it on other site etc too this time.

I think I've made a mistake, signed up for a "Foundation in blogging & content marketing" course with The Shaw Academy. It only lasts a month though, so does that mean I can't get an NUS card for a year? I can't seem to find a close match to the course on the NUS form and after uploading a photo I get "Oh no! An error occurred while processing your request. Please return to the homepage, and try again." Have I been an idiot?

You do not need to buy a Nus extra card to pay £39 on Amazon Prime lol Amazon only asks for your University email address to verify student status. However, Amazon never sent an email of verification to my uni email address and I still got Prime discounted lol I think that happened because I had previously ordered student software (student version of adobe creative cloud and dragon speech software - a uni email is needed for both although adobe and dragon asked me via email directly not Amazon) or Amazon is desperate for customers. The NUS extra card is good for saving 5% on Amazon sold/dispatched products. NUS extra also doubles up as an ISIC card (good for saving on discounted flights).

I've not paid a huge amount of attention, but (at least at my two local shops) they don't scan anything, it's all done on the till, but I am in a big university town, so that may just be a time saving thing for when a large percentage of sales are to students.

NUS cards need be swiped for discount in the CO-OP. Not accepted in Central Midlands CO-OPs.

The card hasn't been scanned at first place, the manager looked at the card and asked me (with a nice smile) if I got it from ukdealsuk and I naively thought he's one of us so I said yes. I saw him talking on the phone with my card in his hand, not sure who he's talking to, OU, NUS or maybe his informer?
I'm quite certain one has to swipe their card to get discount in coop, I will try again in another coop later this evening, will report back later.
Well there is no barcode so they can't swipe it but there is a magnetic stripe so theoretically it could be swiped but as @Mex5150 says I would be amazed if it did anything. I have never tried to claim the Co-op discount because even though I am taking a course I feel too embarrassed to when people much worse off than me need to pay full price. I am happy to take the restaurant discounts though as that is just a commercial thing like Tastecard. I also take the Amazon discount as they can afford it!
Mex5150
6 Apr 16#1002
I've never had mine scanned (in fact I didn't even know they could be scanned), but even if they always did scan it, how would they know? I'm assuming the dick manager from the first place refused the card without scanning it, so how would anybody make the connection? Even if the connection was made, why would they take his word over yours? After all they have received money from you (and may do again), but nothing from him, it's just an unsupported accusation.
fargame

My local coops always swipe/scan my card and yes, been using the card in coop fro few weeks already no problem. But on Saturday it just couldn't be read at the checkout. The staff was going to call someone over to help him out because he could see it's well in date but I was too worry to have a another embarassing moment so I told him not to bother. Maybe it's coincidence but I just feel safer buying another one. I'll think of it as buying Amazon prime membership in discount. No too bad either.

Bad luck mate, thanks for signing up to Hotukdeals just to tell us your tale of woe. Are you saying that your card had previously worked in Co-op and following your encounter with the devious restaurant owner, it stopped working? Surely they just give you the discount based on looking at the card, I wasn't aware they were online to Nus Extra HQ?

Just want to share what happened to me last week and best to stick to shaw academy or other cheap courses if you can. I was confronted by a self appointed NUS police last week in a restaurant when I was trying to use some student discount, the manager or maybe the owner basically tricked me into admitting that I got the card from hotukdeals and refused me discount saying I am not an OU student. This morning I found out my NUS card dont work in Coop, think it's not just an coincidence so am going to get another card with work address and real online course.

This might be a stupid question, and I've tried looking, but there's so much BS. I've found a free course through Manchester University, it only lasts nine weeks though, so what should I put as the course end date when signing up for a card?
Are people able to get a card for twelve months by signing up to one of these shorter online courses?
Searching the whole of HUKD for "Pi number nus" or "pi number student" returns 0 results. I've looked in quite a few pages of comments for this post for "Pi number" and can't find anything. Appreciated you have a comment about reading the forum first, but I can't find the advice for pi number on the forum. Any help?
WhiteGoose
10 Mar 16#962
Yes...given that the NUS card generates cash for the NUS (I quote their website: "with revenue generated being fed directly back into key student initiatives in Students' Unions' across the country”), the more people buying the card, the better it is for them. So they would welcome the loophole. On the other hand, the retailers who they have negotiated these deals with may not feel too happy that what are supposed to be discounts limited to a relatively small section of the population (students) are actually open to everybody. Yet as others have suggested, the retailers may actually be getting bigger profits (because people are spending where they wouldn’t have otherwise spent), and so are quite happy to let it continue. Viewed from this perspective...the ‘loophole' is a crafty piece of marketing that generates funds for both the NUS and retailers through convincing people like us that we have got one over on retailers and scored a cracking deal! So rather than seeing the NUS, retailers, or poor students (of which I am one!) as the victims here...the real victim just might be the exploited HOTUK dealer...

Just signed up to this, forgot about gourmet society, was it really worth it? Should I return, get a refund and reapply specifically to get GS? Or can you do 4x 3 months trial at 1£ each either with GS or taste card?

I wish people would stop wailing about fraud!! The NUS website themselves says the course can be free if you like and it lists ONLINE courses. I emailed about a course I bought to do online that's not eligible, they said tell the online course company to contact them about joining up. If it's OK to buy or get a free/cheap course and get an NUS card WITH THEIR SUPPORT how is it fraud?! It doesn't matter how old you are too.
Can you do shorter courses as the Shaw Academy offer free 1 month ones here:
Cybervic has to be trolling. This is a deals website that generates lots of sales = lots more money for NUS and the shops that offer the discount.

I can't help replying as it seems you are trying to be a kill joy. The companies will know about this and they are not bothered. This little 'scam or cheat or fraud' actually generates them profits. Think of it as heavily discounted baked beans at a supermarket. You think you are being clever going to buy the cheap baked beans, but you end up buying other things, generating profits for them and most likely future sales,as you know think of the shop as cheap. Amazon,people are now getting Amazon Prime half price, 'the horror' Amazon should stop this. People who would have never bought that product now are. And once they have that free delivery, what do they do? Buy everything from Amazon. What is poor Amazon to do with all those extra sales. Like a drug dealer giving out free samples you're hooked, next year a good percentage will continue to use it. Shouldn't you invest your time in more socially rewarding activities than trying to tell tales on people.

True but all the local kids knew when the Poly were enrolling so it was word of mouth and they came in to get a card.
If anything it should be a lot easier to validate if people are on courses now, but as I said before there does not seem to be the will in the NUS to close the loophole. If they seriously were concerned about it they could close the loophole easily.

Great post. I found it because I'm hopefully getting a student card for an online course I'm doing. They are free just now.

Can confirm, I saved the entire cost in one sitting this week. Other times I have used it - free McFlurry at McD (with a meal purchase), also student ticket at the cinema (saves £1), and at Vue with Meerkat Movies (using the £2 travel insurance) you get a full priced adult ticket as the complimentary.

This "loophole" has existed since at least the mid 90's when I did a part time degree at Kingston Poly. At that time there were no checks at all you turned up at the Student Union at the right time, fill out the form and give them a photo. They never even checked I was enrolled on the poly at the time I applied.
NUS can say all they like about this is a loophole and that they don't like it but they seem to have made very little effort to restrict applications in 20 years....

Online, The Body Shop uses Student Beans (25%)* not NUS, I asked them and have "no plans" to change partnership or to allow both NUS and SB. Body Shop does have 30% off with voucher with free delivery (got mine today) if that helps more than the student offer anyway.
In-store, un-sure as my partner uses NUS find in store just shows it at checkout/till.
How do you get the body shop discount, is it online or in store only? TIA
Petetobin
1 Mar 16#922
I guess I agree and disagree with you @Cybervic.
The card is definitely running as a commercial enterprise in order to generate money for the NUS which they can use on banning people they disagree with from speaking on campus or whatever they choose. As long as the partners are happy and they make money then they are happy.
And therein lies the rub, if a major partner such as the Co-op or Amazon were to withdraw from the scheme due to abuse of the system then NUS would have to sit up and take notice of what is going on and clean up their act.
I also wouldn't be at all surprised if this story was picked up by something like the Mail Online, you just have to read some of the rubbish they publish to recognise that this is big news!

I did contemplate whether I should put that sentence out, I was sure someone will use it to justify themselves. Nevertheless the point is NUS didn't approve what the thread is doing (hence it's now expire according to NUS,) they choose not to action because there are more important priorities than chasing after individual swindlers." (NUS's word.) You can of course be cynical and believe they don't care but I felt I know better having worked for them before. there's a difference bwteen "don't care" and "choosing to use limited resource on seomthing else."
The suggestions of using makeup student ID or use open university where one's not actually studying is one thing, but it doesn't take a genius to know that majority of people who bought the card as a result of the thread's encouragement have no real intention of becoming a student.
Of course you were trying to save ppl's money, but if you care about money ONLY and nothing else... well, that just said it all really. :sunglasses:

Finally managed to have a long chat with someone from NUS today. This is what I was told:
NUS card is for students in Further or Higher Education. You can't go and buy a course just to get a NUS extra card, you actually need to be studying the course full time or part time. Any FE or HE course be it £1 or free is eligible as long as you are an actual student and enter all details truthfully.
They know very well there's a loophole in their application system and they are also aware of this thread which they disapprove how the posts encourage public to be benefited from the loophole. However, they aren't doing too much about it at the moment, they are hoping the proportion of the abuse is small. NUS card used to be an acceptable proof for mature student when applying young persons rail card but not any more because of this problem.
NUS will cancel cards if there's any discrepancy in the system came up to them, they don't actively look for false information but bear in mind they had a large database and it's easy to find out if one's school detail is false.
----------------------------- I doubt any of the info going to change anyone's mind if one already thought it's ok to exploit. Nevertheless, I think it's a shame that this thread has expired, perhaps OP was making a real point forcing NUS to tackle the issue head on. Imagine a national news headline, - Everyone can get Free Amazon student prime and 10% discount at Co-op.....

Businesses use these type of deals to recoup fixed overheads and use full priced customers to make their real money. That is why most of the offers are only available at times when they are quiet. There might be the odd exception but in general they won't care who has a card.

Shame you dont understand that I have received my card as a genuine student and can tell you from experience , after calling two restaurants in finchley ( advertised ) on the NUS Website they have told me that they no longer accept NUS cards ( No suprise there) . It is simple logic in catering , you pay for the ingredients then staff and running costs , then put a margin on the Finished food product to recoup your costs . Restaurants will be pulling out of this as it is a risk of putting them out of buisness . Bottom line is 80% of businesses fail , as they simply do not make money . If your customers start jumping on a discount wagon then your business will sink
You are deluded to think that businesses like to decrease margins or profits

They paid out £2.2m in commission to universities for selling the cards - I assume signing up at the website still entitles the organisation to commission (hence why that writing course promotes it), so nobody really has an incentive to prevent it until the partner companies complain.
spaceinvader
20 Feb 16#844
Invalid argument.
You do not need to be in hardship to have an NUS card, that is not the qualifier, no matter how much you would like it to be. Children of billionaires are just as entitled to an NUS card as you. Companies making these offers are not losing any money, why would any company offer an intensive scheme that lost it money? What would that do to their share prices? Every one of the companies that does an NUS discount makes money on those discounts, if they pull the discount then they are not doing it because of abuse, more likely it's greed.

@sarahj88 just to be clear purchasing a short course does entitle you a year's membership of NUS Extra, it is even advertised as a course benefit by eCareers. You may feel that this is not appropriate but it's certainly not fraud.
Have you wondered if the restaurant just didnt want YOU in their restaurants?

So much unnecessary rudeness, aggression and self-justification for scamming on this thread. What is the world coming to when decent people can’t discuss how to pretend to be a student to get an NUS card and can’t be rude to do gooders who object. I mean what is this, a public forum?! What next, how to do benefit fraud? Whiplash claims? Fraud is fraud, whether or not NUS try and actively stop it. Noone needs to be told you have to be a full or p-t student to qualify for an NUS Extra card. But it is made absolutely clear on their website and the terms. And “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.” Enough is enough now. There’s plenty of discussion here of making up details and people encouraging it, so I’m reporting it to crime stoppers. Let the police decide if it’s worth looking into people’s applications- can’t see myself how it’s not fraud by those fabricating details and those studying a brief course and claiming retailer discounters for 3 years. And post 808 is spot on. For anyone concerned, NUS is 01625 5413288

Well after being in debt for 20K in student fees , on my final year and full time employed with many sleepless nights studying . it is irritating to think that some people who theoretically could have comfortable lives can snap up a discount on without proving hardship .

If I make an application to your organisation, you can make the rules and turn down my application.

It's not me thats deluded mate. For starters, why would you buy an NUS card to get restaurant discount, when you can get a gourmet or taste card giving bigger discounts on free repeat trials?

Many years ago I did my first degree part time via work day release. I did Chemistry and it was 9am to 8pm once a week with an hours lunch, so a ten hour day. When I got my NUS card then it was a card one with a photo stick on it and laminated (which show how long ago it was), and they had different colours for part time and full time.
I asked what should I filling in full or part time, they asked the hours I did and when they heard it was 10 hours they said the cut off was what the lowest full time course did hours wise, that was philosophy and they did 6 hours a week as a full time course so I qualified as full.
Hours of study a week really had no bearing on what was or was not full time in the NUS eyes, and I think they phased the part time version of the card out by the time I did my Open University course, and it was then a printed credit card type card done centrally, not a laminated bit of card done by the local Student Union.....

Lol, I don't even know if you're trolling or just incredibly asinine. What an obscene waste of police resources that would be.
Fraud is not fraud, that's just stupid black and white thinking. If 'fraud was fraud' then there would only be one sentence for fraud, there are a huge range of fraud offences and ranges of sentencing. Nobody has ever been sentenced for obtaining a discount card.
Fraud is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary "Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain"
Lying about attending a university in order to get what is essentially a money off coupon would never be considered 'criminal deception', and as people are making up a fib to gain a discount card (that they pay for), there is no direct financial gain.
Please get a brain transplant.

Erm No.
Unless they changed in the last few years these often verify you by access to a .ac.uk account, some FE places allow you to maintain your account forever on their systems, so you can pass almost any place that considers the .ac.uk to be a valid account as student status.

Well that is indeed quite fascinating, but who gives a ****? The NUS make the rules for this deal not you, ergo the deal is valid. I am a student, and my university is not valid for this deal so I have not got one of the cards, I do not hold a grudge against those who have though, I wish I had the time to also do a two quid course and get the deal.
Idiots like you are doing far more damage to HUKD than the people actually doing this deal, please stop trying to ruin this site!

19 Feb 16#824
yes it's for pat time students too, but imho a part time student is someone who's doing a course that requires at least 10 hours of studies per week for a lengthy of time. I don't think a month course nor a £2 counts and if you disagree then that's what we mutually agree then. it's probably not good broadcasting the deal which you already taken advantages of for obvious controversy reasons.

Unidays and Student Beans offer their product for free and are bullet proof. The NUS either have rubbish IT or have diverted the revenue into other causes. Anyone who has been a student knows it's the latter. They won't care up until the point that the partners walk away.
cybervic
19 Feb 16#822
Wrong, 1. NUS doesn't (or at least didn't) have budget to make the sign up process harder and 2. it costs to use UCAS database even if they wanted to, and 3 it's not possible to ask all affiliated organisation to send the database over. 4 the sign up process has changed over the year, it used to be collection at student union or students' office only until recent years they decided to include more students. (and my guess is to generate more income.)
I'm stupid, so I conclude differently than your suggestion.

I have my card and gourmet club discount which ive used several times already, the amount of savings are immense after just over a week so that alone justifies it to me. I couldn't care less about anybody elses percieved 'moral issues' about it.
Also point to note - if you have actually been to the site and gone through their sign-up process and saw how easy it is to sign up you would see how painfully simple it is to obtain. If they wanted to make it harder to obtain they absolutely could for example verifying course details against the UCAS database and displaying a disclaimer that signing up for a NUS card without actually being a student is fraudulent blah blah blah. None of these things exist...
Also this isnt new vic... The sign up process is that its been like this for years

Surely it isn't so truly terrible having someone in our society/community to care about right or wrong be it big or small. I used to work for them few years ago and they were on the verge of closing down due to lack of funding. NUS extra was then born in the hope of generating sustainable income, thus it's rather important for NUS extra to have certain retailers on their side to give them discounts. If I was still there, I would have been worried to hear such thread gets mentioned by the retailers and I think this is the reason why it's expired.
I am all for it for anyone getting a bargain but I personally feel it's a different matter if one has to lie or create fake number/info in order to get the card. Having said this, I am genuinely truly curious if NUS wouldn't mind people buying cheap online course for getting NUS Extra Card. If this is the case then there would be no moral or whatever issues isn't it?

If I recall you get a combined NUS/ISIC card not two cards, if you pay the extra it has the ISIC logo on the card..
However even if the NUS were to cancel cards, how would they do it, when I used to have one people just looked at it and said OK and pushed the discount button an the till, it was never validated anywhere that the card was active. Heck most times people never even looked at the expiry date..

Im not actually sure what all the tears are about. Some saying its fraud on the NUS, others to poor retailers who are now going to go under, or students because they no longer have a helping hand with discounts because others can get them.
I don't think I've seen as much pointless anger in a thread on here with "new members" allegedly joining to vent their righteous spleen.
Id still like to know why this deal has been expired! Have they sold out of cards? I think someone suggested the CIA are leaning on the site to stop publicising it through fear of a global meltdown.

I mean I could get a friend/relative who's still at university to get discounts for me anyway, but having my own card makes it less hassle.

I am not a lawyer, unlike many esteemed posters to this thread but for those who have genuinely fulfilled the criteria of the card, you are good to go. For people who have made sh*t up to get a card you obviously run the risk of losing your money if they have sufficient resources to find you out. As I have said before these guys are focussed on making money and will only tighten up if they are forced to by their partners. Personally I see it as no different to a Taste Card, a bunch of greedy people around a trough all happily feasting but some of the partners such as the Co-op may see it differently. Wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon and Spotify tighten up as well but cheap pizza FFS you don't need to be a student to get that kind of stuff!

No 90Ninety you are wrong, retailers like selling stuff. Based on your argument there would be no Quidco, no Vouchers, no Taste Card etc. If this draws more customers to them, they are happy to discount. The exception is poor old Co-op who are clearly trying to help students as the margin in their game is so low. Stop trying to pretend this whole thing is anything more than a virtuous circle.

Why? They posted a legitimate deal, If you are a student, you can get this card. If you are not a student you can become one very cheaply. How is it their fault if somebody decides to do something different and lie about being a student? at least they are posting deals, unlike some people (points at you).

Yes, many people have, but as I've posted before you need PI number of someone that is currently actively signed up to a course for it to be correctly validated.
And chances are if they have signed up they already have a NUS card from the OUSA who offer them..

The people entering made-up PI numbers is a bit like the Meerkat Movies thing where it would let you through. For the same cost of £2 why risk it? I signed up for the Shaw Academy Photography course and as other people have mentioned it actually looks pretty interesting and I'll certainly watch the first few.
The T&Cs say "In order to purchase the NUS extra Card you must be aged 16 or over and be in part or full time education. Certain exceptions apply.". I can't see how the Shaw Academy's course wouldn't count as "part time education" - it has a full dated schedule with live webcasts.
Wow - not sure who s**t in your cornflakes this morning! Some people do care about that sort of thing and would like to know... as i said i couldnt care less however.

Just a warning for you all.. please take note before applying!
Even though i was careful to tick the boxes to not receive any marketing materials, THE DAY AFTER i applied for the card i received 2 letters in the post from removals companies. It seems NUS know that people are doing this so rather than blocking the applications they are taking the money for the card, sending them out (mine is 'in production' right now) and then selling your info on to third parties for extra profit. How do i know the letters came as a result of applying for this card? I purposefully didnt put the flat number, low and behold the marketing letters didnt have a flat number but my name was on there :smile:
Am i bothered? Nope - its a rented flat. And fair play to NUS - we're being a bit cheeky so they are too! :stuck_out_tongue:

I'm pretty sure the NUS is over the moon at the extra revenue this thread has created. Well done OP. 2661 degrees and rising is a good indication of success.

Anyone concerned about the dishonest element here who aren’t studying anything and encouraging others to provide fake details, don’t get into further debate, as its been pointless, just let NUS know. Note I’m not referring to anyone legitimately buying the card with a course. Also post it on the NUS facebook page. For those too lazy to read what they’re representing about themselves and who pretend not to grasp how they’re being dishonest and that they weren't warned by NUS they had to be a student/about fraud (!?), here are the terms: “In order to purchase the NUS extra Card you must be aged 16 or over and be in part or full time education.” “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” Also see my post 416. The dim element don’t realise this thread has caused a massive spike in NUS Card applications, which only occurs in September. Smart criminals leave no trace. Unfortunately those here dishonestly buying a card without studying haven’t thought through they’ve provided their details. Then if they check this thread they’ll see posts suggesting you can make up a fake PI number, not bother studying anything etc. So what those individuals have to hope is NUS don't check anything as a result of the application spike and complaints about this thread.

This is effectively a discount card that you are purchasing. The NUS want your details so they can sell them, retailers want your custom as they want repeat business from young people who tend to be the top earners of the future, that is why it is notionally aimed at students. Why all this talk of fraud! If people want to preach about fraud why not have a go at people like Amazon who tell a pack of lies to claim they are a Luxembourg based company, so they can avoid paying tax here. Thats dishonest, and little people like us have to pay more tax to subsidise them and pay for essential services

An OU PI number that's not actively enrolled on a course will be rejected. I had it a few times when I tried to renew my NUS card before the OU had fully processed my next module, as the PI was not actively studying the NUS application was rejected until the OU got it all registered right.

The thing is Nesima\Marko, if it was an actual issue with NUS I think that hotukdeals would have been asked to take it down by now. The other thing is - when you go to their site to sign up *there are no disclaimers that mention fraud*. It is far too easy to sign up and get the card, there are absolutely no warnings at all. Also, prior to this appearing on here its been like this for years but has not been widely publicised.
I wouldn't refer to you as right minded, I'd say more of a goody-two shoes busybody with a strange moral code who gets upset and uptight if something doesn't fit in with your 'progressive' world view. Nobody cares (including me) about your moral code - I already have my three year card and have used it a couple of times already. Quit throwing your toys out of the pram as not one single person could care less. If it still bothers you why dont you call the police NUS Card Fraud Prevention hotline that doesn't actually exist except in your own daft mind.

The deal information has been edited, but when it was first posted it simply suggested that you could get an NUS card by lying on the application.
Regardless, I suspect NUS cards will be dropped by a lot of retailers because it's blatantly being abused by muppets who think it's okay to apply for one when they aren't even close to student status.

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.

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)

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.
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?

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.

"Manchester Met Students Union", you can opt for 3 years without PI number. 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

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.

Ordering a course just makes it seem like you legitimately signed for a student card as you will be studying. Not buying a course means that your just after a discount card. I'd rather pay £2 for a course and then play dumb if they question it.

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.
Cheers, I've just signed up. Not sure I'd see the benefit of the NUS card, although the 5% Amazon discount would add up over time.

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.

Could it be that they want the address you are at when attending Uni, rather than your parents address? In which case, if you are still living at home whilst at Uni (or pretending to be at Uni for the purposes of this offer) then any address that you live at will do, so does not neec to be 'hall of residence' etc.

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.

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.

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.

12 Feb 16#449
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)

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!!

lol, you are talking such tripe. It takes years upon years to pay off, and amounts to pennies each week. The idea that someone would stay under £17,335 is madness. There is no scenario where it would be advantageous not to take a higher wage, as it's a flat rate of 9%.

You say "100%" in this post. In your previous post you said "none of them have any intention of doing so". That kinda speaks for itself.
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.

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.
And so what if people want to like the post?

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.

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.

Amazon Student Discount
I'm also looking to renew or get a new nus card, but I want the ISIC card, can you get a 3 year one of those?
But I'm reading now about Amazon student do you need to be part of this for it to work now?
Also in past you could use the 5% discount right away before getting your card as code to use was on site when logged in.
But why is it not working?
Also what are the benefits of have Amazon student if you already have nus card even more % off?
It says something like 31st October 2016 this Amazon student ends??
That's less than month away.
Very confused about it all before nus card was all I needed and my main reason was for Amazon like before but will use it on other site etc too this time.
otherwise there's 20+ courses on offer for £1 via GoGroopie. https://www.gogroopie.com/deal/1xuext7f40/_1_Summer_Sale___Choice_of_21_Online_Courses
Promo "expires in 5 days" but it appears to miraculously auto-extend.
This one is free though.:)

I can't seem to find a close match to the course on the NUS form and after uploading a photo I get "Oh no! An error occurred while processing your request. Please return to the homepage, and try again."

Lol , seriously this still happening . The Key is email , they check with Student Email, if it is an educational domain

becleverwithyourcash.com/cas…nt/
It's from the Free Postcode Lottery site.
I'm quite certain one has to swipe their card to get discount in coop, I will try again in another coop later this evening, will report back later.
also how long does it take to get the card once signed up?
What I've found is, if you put in Open Uni or other Uni it gives you the 3 year option. If you put in online courses provider, it only gives you the 1 year option.
The NUS DON'T do any checks and approve everyone, being a bunch of money grabbing capitalists.
You may as well have put Oxford or Cambridge down, and made yourself look a bit clever :wink:
This card has really paid for itself so far and I've only had a few weeks :smile:
I just put my email address
Where do I find it?

If anything it should be a lot easier to validate if people are on courses now, but as I said before there does not seem to be the will in the NUS to close the loophole. If they seriously were concerned about it they could close the loophole easily.
Maybe this link will help someone. These are SQA courses (Scotland). I'm not sure if they are for Scotland only, maybe someone else can answer that. Some of them are quite interesting!
students.reidkerr.ac.uk/ind…146
The lady told me and I quote, 'I wish this fantasist would stop calling me as I'm beginning to feel harassed' ...
NUS can say all they like about this is a loophole and that they don't like it but they seem to have made very little effort to restrict applications in 20 years....
What's the advantage of the graduate version? Where do you get it?
In-store, un-sure as my partner uses NUS find in store just shows it at checkout/till.
* help.thebodyshop.co.uk/hel…unt
The card is definitely running as a commercial enterprise in order to generate money for the NUS which they can use on banning people they disagree with from speaking on campus or whatever they choose. As long as the partners are happy and they make money then they are happy.
And therein lies the rub, if a major partner such as the Co-op or Amazon were to withdraw from the scheme due to abuse of the system then NUS would have to sit up and take notice of what is going on and clean up their act.
I also wouldn't be at all surprised if this story was picked up by something like the Mail Online, you just have to read some of the rubbish they publish to recognise that this is big news!
I registered for the Diplima in Photography. It was the bottom of the email with all the Webinar details titled "Diploma in Photography Webinar Series - Jan 2015 Confirmation". If you press ctrl+f then search "Webinar ID", you'll find it. If you didn't choose photography then just use the ctrl+f method and search your confirmation emails in the same way.
The suggestions of using makeup student ID or use open university where one's not actually studying is one thing, but it doesn't take a genius to know that majority of people who bought the card as a result of the thread's encouragement have no real intention of becoming a student.
Of course you were trying to save ppl's money, but if you care about money ONLY and nothing else... well, that just said it all really. :sunglasses:
I am registered in one of this online courses, but the problem is NUS card required a student number. The Shaw academy didn't provide me any number, did you have this problem as well?
That being said, thanks again Buzz. Within 3 days (from the time of order) I received my card, contacted Amazon and now have Amazon Prime. Look forward to making the most of the other benefits on offer, too. Cheers.
Should put any other news in to context...
They know very well there's a loophole in their application system and they are also aware of this thread which they disapprove how the posts encourage public to be benefited from the loophole. However, they aren't doing too much about it at the moment
I find that extremely interesting.
NUS card is for students in Further or Higher Education. You can't go and buy a course just to get a NUS extra card, you actually need to be studying the course full time or part time. Any FE or HE course be it £1 or free is eligible as long as you are an actual student and enter all details truthfully.
They know very well there's a loophole in their application system and they are also aware of this thread which they disapprove how the posts encourage public to be benefited from the loophole. However, they aren't doing too much about it at the moment, they are hoping the proportion of the abuse is small. NUS card used to be an acceptable proof for mature student when applying young persons rail card but not any more because of this problem.
NUS will cancel cards if there's any discrepancy in the system came up to them, they don't actively look for false information but bear in mind they had a large database and it's easy to find out if one's school detail is false.
-----------------------------
I doubt any of the info going to change anyone's mind if one already thought it's ok to exploit.
Nevertheless, I think it's a shame that this thread has expired, perhaps OP was making a real point forcing NUS to tackle the issue head on. Imagine a national news headline, - Everyone can get Free Amazon student prime and 10% discount at Co-op.....
The Shaw Academy depending on where you clicked to study

Just signed up for Amazon Prime today and got 6 months free trial. Boy its great being a student.

2) Registered on the NUS site stating the education establishment as 'The Shaw Academy' from the drop down list
3) Input 'n/a' as the student id number
4) paid
5) Have received confirmation email
Will wait to see. I had a NUS card when a mature student at the local college, those days you could get a 18-25 railcard with just the NUS international card, now you need the form signed by the college. Other discounts worth having I thought.
So is the Topshop discount still working?
BTW, just rang my local kindergarten about all this and they were suitably enraged!
I used the webinar details from Shaw.
Hope this helps

@ 90numpty, you're not really a post grad are you?
Come on be honest, your grammar and reasoning skills seem to suggest otherwise.
No hard feelings. Once you've got your refund, hy not get one of these for free or £1 for 3 months. You can take your OH out for a meal and you can tell them you got the card through a recommendation from one of your fellow student buddies. X)
The following NUS claims to offer 25-50% discount in my area
1. O'Sullivan's Restaurant @ Holiday Inn London-Elstree
2. Sopranos Ristorante & Pizzeri- Finchely
3. Smoke and Guns - High Barnet
4.The Victoria -St. Albans, Hertfordshire
5 Comet Brasserie - Hatfield
6.Chez Tonton, New Barnet
OH is getting angry with me now oO Considering returning this card , anyone know how to refund, ?
Why are you?
Good luck clearing your debt. If I can help you out with a box of tissues, let me know. X)
Good luck with your discount keyboard warrior
It is simple logic in catering , you pay for the ingredients then staff and running costs , then put a margin on the Finished food product to recoup your costs . Restaurants will be pulling out of this as it is a risk of putting them out of buisness .
Bottom line is 80% of businesses fail , as they simply do not make money . If your customers start jumping on a discount wagon then your business will sink
You are deluded to think that businesses like to decrease margins or profits
brb waiting for sarah88 appearance on Crimestoppers! Really, you couldn't make it up. I really can only assume you are trolling because no one can be this stupid. Anyway, thanks for joining and giving us all a good laugh.
You do not need to be in hardship to have an NUS card, that is not the qualifier, no matter how much you would like it to be. Children of billionaires are just as entitled to an NUS card as you. Companies making these offers are not losing any money, why would any company offer an intensive scheme that lost it money? What would that do to their share prices? Every one of the companies that does an NUS discount makes money on those discounts, if they pull the discount then they are not doing it because of abuse, more likely it's greed.
e-careers.co.uk/int…rds
FYI, I wont be using mine in a restaurant, so wipe your tears. I have a taste card for that and gives me better discounts. X)
Fraud is fraud, whether or not NUS try and actively stop it. Noone needs to be told you have to be a full or p-t student to qualify for an NUS Extra card. But it is made absolutely clear on their website and the terms. And “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.”
Enough is enough now. There’s plenty of discussion here of making up details and people encouraging it, so I’m reporting it to crime stoppers. Let the police decide if it’s worth looking into people’s applications- can’t see myself how it’s not fraud by those fabricating details and those studying a brief course and claiming retailer discounters for 3 years.
And post 808 is spot on. For anyone concerned, NUS is 01625 5413288
I wanted to take out my partner today for a meal but two restaurants refused the card as they say they 'no longer take the card' - Which one one hand is understandable if people are taking the mickey - which is what we are getting at
In truth, its more likely these restaurants refused you entry because they were worried about upsetting the rest of their customers.
When I got my NUS card then it was a card one with a photo stick on it and laminated (which show how long ago it was), and they had different colours for part time and full time.
I asked what should I filling in full or part time, they asked the hours I did and when they heard it was 10 hours they said the cut off was what the lowest full time course did hours wise, that was philosophy and they did 6 hours a week as a full time course so I qualified as full.
Hours of study a week really had no bearing on what was or was not full time in the NUS eyes, and I think they phased the part time version of the card out by the time I did my Open University course, and it was then a printed credit card type card done centrally, not a laminated bit of card done by the local Student Union.....
Fraud is not fraud, that's just stupid black and white thinking. If 'fraud was fraud' then there would only be one sentence for fraud, there are a huge range of fraud offences and ranges of sentencing. Nobody has ever been sentenced for obtaining a discount card.
Fraud is defined in the Oxford English Dictionary "Wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain"
Lying about attending a university in order to get what is essentially a money off coupon would never be considered 'criminal deception', and as people are making up a fib to gain a discount card (that they pay for), there is no direct financial gain.
Please get a brain transplant.
Unless they changed in the last few years these often verify you by access to a .ac.uk account, some FE places allow you to maintain your account forever on their systems, so you can pass almost any place that considers the .ac.uk to be a valid account as student status.
Idiots like you are doing far more damage to HUKD than the people actually doing this deal, please stop trying to ruin this site!
Fortunately you don't it's only the NUS that has any say on the matter.
Don't cry yourself to sleep.
I'm stupid, so I conclude differently than your suggestion.
- student status letter
- tuition bill
- tuition invoice
- official acceptance letter for upcoming term....
Any solutions on those out there??
mine took about 9 hours
Cheers, mine has arrived too with ISIC endorsement too.
How long did Amazon take? I applied 10 minutes ago anf havent heard back yet! :smiley_cat:
I have my card and gourmet club discount which ive used several times already, the amount of savings are immense after just over a week so that alone justifies it to me. I couldn't care less about anybody elses percieved 'moral issues' about it.
Also point to note - if you have actually been to the site and gone through their sign-up process and saw how easy it is to sign up you would see how painfully simple it is to obtain. If they wanted to make it harder to obtain they absolutely could for example verifying course details against the UCAS database and displaying a disclaimer that signing up for a NUS card without actually being a student is fraudulent blah blah blah. None of these things exist...
Also this isnt new vic... The sign up process is that its been like this for years
Conclusion that any intelligent person would reach - they dont care
I am all for it for anyone getting a bargain but I personally feel it's a different matter if one has to lie or create fake number/info in order to get the card. Having said this, I am genuinely truly curious if NUS wouldn't mind people buying cheap online course for getting NUS Extra Card. If this is the case then there would be no moral or whatever issues isn't it?
However even if the NUS were to cancel cards, how would they do it, when I used to have one people just looked at it and said OK and pushed the discount button an the till, it was never validated anywhere that the card was active. Heck most times people never even looked at the expiry date..

PS you weren't charged twice, on bank withdrawals, they cover it with a card authorisation. It's PayPal not our friends at the NUS. First ones free :-)
Cheapest course? Living Social
just got my amazon student.
Amazon Student just been approved for me too.
So my £6 online gardening course and my £13 ecareer nus card worked! Thanks Buzz!
Did anyone get their ASIC card too?
I did purchase one of the Shaw academy courses I posted and I will be giving it a go too
Im not actually sure what all the tears are about. Some saying its fraud on the NUS, others to poor retailers who are now going to go under, or students because they no longer have a helping hand with discounts because others can get them.
I don't think I've seen as much pointless anger in a thread on here with "new members" allegedly joining to vent their righteous spleen.
Id still like to know why this deal has been expired! Have they sold out of cards? I think someone suggested the CIA are leaning on the site to stop publicising it through fear of a global meltdown. I could be making that bit up but its certainly not out of place with some of the other nonsense that's been posted.
I want to make it clear I do not hold any grudge against those that got a card via the two quid courses or whatever, good on you for getting a great deal.
Anyway, at least I can now too after my card arrived this morning so thank you HUKD.
... I mean I could get a friend/relative who's still at university to get discounts for me anyway, but having my own card makes it less hassle.
I was a student several years ago and never got a discount on anything other than coach and rail fares, so I'm going to make up for it now.
Thanks again OP, I shall get Amazon Prime too.
Something tells me this isn't your real account you're using, or are you one of those multis?
PS I couldn't care less if anyone else has made an application without a course and speaking about assumptions why are you assuming I've applied and if I have don't have a course. Now go back and read your drivel. Particularly your complaints to the other member about name calling then doing exactly that referencing his username. And you have the front to suggest I need to study! You must be studying hypocrisy.

weird expiry... dunno if I'm getting it or not
Yes I applied and yes I lied and yes I've probably lost £13. Wouldn't be surprised if NUS staff make these posts as it's all profit for NUS if they decline thousands of applications!
Lol @ small margins. Yes somethings that's true, but if you think that's true all round, how do shops give discounts of 80% and BOGOF? More importantly, do you really think they give a monikers about students?
Its a competitive world out there. Shame you don't understand how it works.
If they wanted to i am sure they could stop it tomorrow but then they would be killing a golden goose.
PI number is just for Open University students. If you have enrolled in a distance learning course and have no number then just put "n/a".
Amen
OP of this deal should be banned. :disappointed:

I've emailed them and awaiting reply.
Anyone else had this?
to get 3 year card for £33 delivered.
Saves having to do this process every 12 months.
How do you do this? Can only do it for 1 year?
3) In order to purchase the NUS extra Alumni Card you must be an individual that has graduated from a course of study at a FH or HE institution in the past 12 months
And chances are if they have signed up they already have a NUS card from the OUSA who offer them..
The T&Cs say "In order to purchase the NUS extra Card you must be aged 16 or over and be in part or full time education. Certain exceptions apply.". I can't see how the Shaw Academy's course wouldn't count as "part time education" - it has a full dated schedule with live webcasts.
Thats enough feeding the trolls for one day (_;)
Even though i was careful to tick the boxes to not receive any marketing materials, THE DAY AFTER i applied for the card i received 2 letters in the post from removals companies. It seems NUS know that people are doing this so rather than blocking the applications they are taking the money for the card, sending them out (mine is 'in production' right now) and then selling your info on to third parties for extra profit.
How do i know the letters came as a result of applying for this card? I purposefully didnt put the flat number, low and behold the marketing letters didnt have a flat number but my name was on there :smile:
Am i bothered? Nope - its a rented flat. And fair play to NUS - we're being a bit cheeky so they are too! :stuck_out_tongue:
TIA
Waaah waaah waah
Or am I Spartacus? :wink:
That'll annoy all the miseries shouting fraud at the top of their voices LOL
I look forward to your next 3 posts on the forum, which going by the above, you will be telling us people who bought a discount card are funding ISIS and the proceeds used for terrorism or some similarly stupid story.
I'm pretty sure the NUS is over the moon at the extra revenue this thread has created. Well done OP. 2661 degrees and rising is a good indication of success. Ignore the pointless crusading white nights threatening to report the forum to the police, NUS, FBI and whoever else they think sounds convincing.
inb4 "NUS fraudsters" crash the UK economy and executed.
Yet, it's still going...

Looks good
Also see my post 416. The dim element don’t realise this thread has caused a massive spike in NUS Card applications, which only occurs in September. Smart criminals leave no trace. Unfortunately those here dishonestly buying a card without studying haven’t thought through they’ve provided their details. Then if they check this thread they’ll see posts suggesting you can make up a fake PI number, not bother studying anything etc. So what those individuals have to hope is NUS don't check anything as a result of the application spike and complaints about this thread.
Still not sure if I'm gonna buy one, despite my newly acquired student status.
sell them, retailers want your custom as they want repeat business from young people who tend to be the top earners of the future, that is why it is notionally aimed at students. Why all this talk of fraud! If people want to preach about fraud why not have a go at people like Amazon who tell a pack of lies to claim they are a Luxembourg based company, so they can avoid paying tax here. Thats dishonest, and little people like us have to pay more tax to subsidise them and pay for essential services
Thanks for clarifying.
I had it a few times when I tried to renew my NUS card before the OU had fully processed my next module, as the PI was not actively studying the NUS application was rejected until the OU got it all registered right.
I wouldn't refer to you as right minded, I'd say more of a goody-two shoes busybody with a strange moral code who gets upset and uptight if something doesn't fit in with your 'progressive' world view. Nobody cares (including me) about your moral code - I already have my three year card and have used it a couple of times already. Quit throwing your toys out of the pram as not one single person could care less. If it still bothers you why dont you call the police NUS Card Fraud Prevention hotline that doesn't actually exist except in your own daft mind.
Rather than just hurl insults at right minded people.
How do i purchase the card? do i have to buy a course then go that way
Regardless, I suspect NUS cards will be dropped by a lot of retailers because it's blatantly being abused by muppets who think it's okay to apply for one when they aren't even close to student status.
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)
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)
HUKD should not be promoting this Chav benefit grabbing mentality.
I accept your praise with great aplomb.oO
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)
(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.
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.
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?
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.

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?
Where are they? Are they courses at Endsleigh?
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?
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.
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
"Manchester Met Students Union", you can opt for 3 years without PI number.
Dont need to purchase a valid course either.
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)
How can I answer this??
"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!

Actually yes you can, but it's classed as a bolt on...

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.
I'm more interested in if you can get the NUS extra with a dimploma course
650 courses sold since yesterday
Or dare I ask seeing that you're from Bridgend (you could float either boat)!
If you sign up to a course, fine. If not? less so...
HTH.
If folks sign up for a course that then entitles them to receive a card then there is no issue.
I'm gonna see if I can cancel mine.
nus.org.uk/en/…os/
anyone knows what that is? how do you get a NUS with OU?
PM me with 500 words on "How I spent my summer holiday" and I will reward you with your personal answer.
Also if i wanted to apply( and I am not studying )can I do this and put home study in the box?
Does anybody know where I can find this?
It wont let me continue without it.
Thanks
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 ?
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
Any thought / comment on this ??
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.
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!
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:
What details are you putting in when you sign up (course name, type, dates etc) ?
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:
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!!

how do I get the NUS Plus. What cheap courses are available, may benefit something on excel.Fellow memebers any idea?
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
