What details do NUS ask for? My mate finished Uni just a few weeks ago but isn't sure she can still get it or not.

Can you clarify what you mean here?

How did you get the £1.50 delivery refunded?

How are you transferring £10 to your bank account? Is that a refund for the £10 vodafone top-up?

Well hopefully it comes as my current NUD Extra card runs out on 14th :laughing:

This offer still works..ordered a sim 2 days ago and got the sim today, also got the email for the nus card code yesterday

i ordered the £10 vodafone credit, am i going to receive the code for NUS card on my email and when would that be? thanks.

I don't think Quidco will honour the £6 promised. I raised a claim and Quidco said they are 'unable to investigate transactions for this merchant's. I finally got my code for the NUS card sent as an email from Vodafone but can't use it as my current card runs until January and the NUS website thinks I just want to replace a card, charging me £5! All in all, this offer is not guaranteed cashback and no guaranteed NUS card. A waste of £10 really...

I went through with the offer. Topped up by £20 as was offered a 'top up gift' with this. Did not receive the NUS extra or the Top up gift.
Have called and tried the chat feature about 8-9 times. I keep being diverted to other departments and told I'll receive a call from the correct people.. Never do! I have even been hung up on when they realised they couldn't help with the problem.

I think the only option for us now is to go through the Ombudsman: https://www.ombudsman-services.org/communications.html

I simply cannot believe this appauling level of customer service! I had heard bad things about Vodafone but this is actually shocking! Never touching them ever again...

​You have A pm

You have a pm​

customer service and online chat is of no use. They are not aware of this offer to help u out that's the fact

​It is when you first put it in phone- be wary sim does have a expiry date!

When does the £10 bundle start from? When the SIM is shipped/delivered or from when you first use it in a phone?

The NUS card claim email came through eventually. You can have it posted to your student's union for free so I'll do that given I walk past it for class rather than pay for home delivery. Anyone fretting over not having the claim email from them don't stress, it took 18 hours before I got the email from them.

my card is on its way, already got credentials to use the nus app online. Also got £1.50 back from postage fees as there was no vodafone selection and instead of bundle, vodafone made it £10 credit instead. I am now in process off transferring £10 to my bank account- cashback is only showing me 50p going to chase it up to get my £6.30!

Don't hold your breath waiting for your NUS card to appear or get a code. Vodafone customer service are shocking and know nothing about this deal. The Indian call centre don't even know what an NUS card is. I am now on online chat. Keeping fingers crossed...

Am I to understand this will auto topup £10 a month from my debit card unless cancelled? Is it possible to cancel via the website or do I need to subject myself to customer services?

Anyhoo cheers op, been meaning to get a card sorted and seems as good a time as any.

How long does Quidco take to show if it's successfully tracked?

(I used an incognito window because of my ad blocker so wouldn't be surprised if that causes issue)

Finally i received my nus code n ordered my nus card. Only paid £1.50 for the delivery.

I was referring to 'You will have to pay a £1.50 delivery fee for the NUS card. Alternatively, you can have it delivered to your local Vodafone store and pick it up from there for free.' I couldn't find this option anywhere, but Vodafone gave me 2 pounds when I told them anyway...

cant find cashback on either quidco or topcashback?

...I didn't?

What does the email request from you from NUS?

How did you manage to get free delivery?

As per the product page:

does the bundle automatically renew after a month? if so, how to cancel?

i have got the email now so looking good i got it after the dispatch email

Well I did online chat. They said in 24hours they will mail me. But nothing so far. Will contact the customer care service now. I'm not happy to visit the store. Why should I? It's just waste of time going to a store when the promotion was to Send the code online.

I have just been online with Vodafone customer services for 30 minutes. They are worse than useless. I have been assured that I will receive a mail with the NUS link within 3-4 days. And that if I don't I should visit a Vodafone shop where they 'will be pleased to help me.'

I am having the same exact problem, I only have the initial mail from Vodafone confirming the SIM card will be with me in 2 - 4 days time. Can I just ask the URL you used for contacting customer services to get the issue resolved? By the way, for anyone that pasted the deal link after visiting TCB or Quidco had the Cashback amount gone down to £0.00?

Many thanks

Nothing there. Contacted Vodafone CS via chat. I should receive code in 24hours :smiley:

thanks for reply but i definitely checked and nothing there?

Double check you didn't skip over it, or that it has gone into spam. The NUS link along with code is sent from Vodafone. The email has the subject 'Claim your free NUS extra card'.

still no email from nus?

Nope. I used the page from here

​If you used the right page I posted you will have recieved an email like I did with a link and code to NUS.

I fear looking at your previous comments you used Quidco and ordered from the page that does not have the NUS offer.

Https://freesim.vodafone.co.uk is where Quidco goes and that page does not mention NUS.

The link for the deal is https://freesim.vodafone.co.uk/nus

I received my sim. Any idea how to get the nus card??

Ordered yesterday - used my NUS 5% discount on amazon today :smile:

This offer came at a perfect time, two days after my NUS card expired! I clicked on the link in my email and using the voucher code Vodafone supplied I renewed my ISIC NUS membership. Oddly my 'Place of study' has changed to Vodafone.

You will have to pay a £1.50 delivery fee for the NUS card. Alternatively, you can have it delivered to your local Vodafone store and pick it up from there for free.

The NUS/sim card will quickly pay itself off so, in reality, with this deal you're losing £0 and gaining a free £10 sim.

I'm not entirely sure what use an ISIC is, but my NUS Extra card says ISIC on the reverse, I didn't have to do any sort of upgrade. I've not been a student for 40 years!

I still haven't got an email confirming its on its way yet. I went through Quidco and saw that it tracked my cash back at 50p so something must be happening.

I did get an e-mail telling me to look out for an order confirmation but that is yet to be seen.

I did contact support and they said to wait 2-4 days for confirmation of the order but I think the person I spoke to assumed I already had it despite being insistent that I didn't and thus quoted the delivery estimation.

I guess time will tell.

​Got mine fine... Did you do the Quidco thing above or go to the page with the NUS logo on it?

nus email

got an email confirming the sum is on its way but no bus email yet...

anyone know of any cheap courses I can take to be eligible for applying for a nus card?

it’s an awesome deal for students :wink:

The NUS will not give you the card if you are not a student

Create Amazon student account. You get prime for 6 months
From nus website u get amazon discount code. It can be used for items sold by amazon/ warehouse deals

Just had a look, yeahp that's it :smiley:

Will do. It's the reason for this deal, http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/amazon-student-members-get-a-20-discount-off-selected-products-from-amazon-warehouse-2510310:smiley:

Once you get a Nus card sign up for Amazon student, Google it and Amazon have a whole page dedicated to it, then go to your NUS online page and get a code for Amazon, put it in once and it works automatically until it expires :smiley:

Will come through tomorrow, mine took a day for all the confirmations to come through

My cashback just got tracked but it says i paid £1.00 so i get £0.50

How do you actually get to the deal via Quidco? The £10 option does not include the Free NUS Extra.

How long until you get the email to activate NUS? I paid via paypal but nothing immedately?

OK but applying for my 1st NUSE card anyway. I don't have Amazon Student discount so will add this once I get my NUSE card. Got me confused with paying it via Amazon Payments. There were 3 options to pay for SIM, bank/credit card, PayPal or Amazon Payments.

Nus gives 5% off all items sold by Amazon :smiley:

I bought the £10 sim via Quidco but I didn't receive an order confirmation e-mail. Anyone else get that?

It is quite legitimate to get an NUS Extra card as an alumnus. It has saved me a fortune at Co-op and on Amazon. Anybody who has ever done a course at an NUS affiliated institution is entitled.

Loads of confirmation on the Internet. Such as this from the University of Sussex.

NUS just wants to flog the cards to subsidise its Trot jamborees.

Don't forget the Amazon discount aswell (Y) this card is brilliant.

Smoking hot deal. My NUS card expires in January, but for £4 vs £12 I will take gladly lose 4 months!

My course cost £1.99 and lasted 12 weeks. It entitled me to get the NUS extra card. Didn't need a .ac.uk email to be entitled to the discount from Apple. It just worked via the NUSEXTRA website click through link.

Absolutely the best HUKD of the year for me so far. the whole thing, including the course cost me £17 'ish and what with the 10% off Co-op, 50% off Spotify, Apple discount and 50% Amazon Prime membership its literally going to save me hundreds of £ for the year. Legitimate loophole bargain in my opinion.

The biggest bonus is that I also got to learn quite a bit about photography from the course. :smiley:

AMAZING DEAL! :smile:

This is a great deal, wow. A free NUS card, data, texts & minutes - all for a £10. And if you top up a little more you can get money off at gregg's. A winner! Thanks vodafone.

Yeah, but I obviously dont have a .ac.uk email as I've not been a full time student, that's my issue

Any ones cashback tracked ?

I finished my course in 2015. I can still renew my nus extra. All they need Is a .co.uk mail id..

Was your course just for 12 months - have you renewed your NUS card yet - I'm assuming that I'll need to find a new course when my card runs out in Nov.

​bless you man

Copy the URL from deal... go via quidco or TCB to the site, then paste the URL in top... quidco and tcb tracked and unique URL unlocked... you're welcome, i do this all the time!

I got my nus extra card for free while opening my student bank account at Lloyds

I picked up my NUS card (that I upgraded to an ISIC) after buying a heavily discounted distance learning course that was advertised on here last year. It needs updating in November though. I've not been in full time education for over 20 years, so the chance to get these discounts legitimately was great. It's saved me a lot of money on flights and buses overseas

Would anyone mind sharing what deals they think it is worth getting this for. It's seems like a good deal but I'm looking through the list of discounts and I don't think very many of them are exclusive to NUS. Most you can get for just proving you are a student or through free alternatives such as unidays.

Am I missing something?

​but does that site version give you the NUS offer even though it doesn't show?

​For me Quidco takes me to a different version of the site and not the one with the NUS offer

It just took me there. We pick the sim with £10 top up

​How is that cashback thing working... Quidco does not take me to the student offer page.

Good spot OP :smiley:
Quidco offers £6 cash back. Making the Nus extra card + Vodafone sim for £4

Hot hot hot

did you order one op? curious if you need to prove your a student I got as far as putting all details in and it says they email a code. is it as easy as that?
