When scrolling through the T&Cs, only accept the FIRST box, or you will have to wait 7 days before you can access your course.
3. Once your course has been activated and assigned (you will receive an email) navigate to NUS and sign up as a student. Be sure to select eCareers as your place of study, the card itself should cost £12.00.
Amazon Prime Student Membership (6 months free + £35 a year)
50% off Pizza Express
10% off Asos
The card essentially pays for itself.
25% off National Express rather than National Rail?
- Daywalker04
Also can be used at Cinema's to get student price tickets :smile:
- RCUK
Quidco 8.8% on GoGroopie - Tracking 35p for the £4 course.
- W1zz
If you sign up for Amazon Student, then you can use code APPRENTICE10 for a £10 off (credit goes to someone in this thread; don't know the t&c); thanks! :smile:

ISIC gives discounts at Apple (10%), Creative cloud (student rates).

I've signed up for this course and I've been waiting on my start details. However, after putting in the closest details to the actual course, the NUS site allows me to proceed to pay for my card. I don't know whether or not the details I've gone with are even valid but I can still buy the card with them. I put down computer science as the course as I felt it was the closest thing to it and my e-careers password as the password that it asked me for.
If I can actually go through with the payment for the card, can it be refused at any point?

no. "Amazon Prime benefits received through the Amazon Student programme can't be shared with another Amazon account. Anyone who you currently share benefits with will no longer have access to shared Prime benefits once you sign up to Amazon Student."
I'm curious what happens to accounts you linked before the new credit card sharing family connection type came into play; do the older type of linked Amazon accounts get disconnected too?

Download nus extra app if you have a tablet and in your account you will see an image from the card along with membership number. Snapshot that from the tablet and you can then attach that to an email to Amazon. You should be able to google these instructions on how to do this if you've never done this before. Hope that helps

Has anyone mentioned about three year courses available yet to get a three year NUS card yet?
I did this last year and only signed up for a one year card, but I think I'd like to save myself the hassle of renewing as these things are great. Mine paid for itself instantly and I of course still got discounts on top of that afterwards as the year went on.
Only thing is I wouldn't know what course to sign up for. One that gives you an ac.uk email address would be great so I could sign up for Unidays but I think that'll be unlikely..

For dumb people like me, when you are registering on the NUS site, on the second page when you are asked about the place of study, type @Ecareers to choose ecareers. I was pulling my hair for last 3 days to past that stage.
I am not sure if it matters but I chose 3 years of study duration.. now sure if NUS really checks anything

Correct. It fell quite nicely for me as I only had about a week of my non student Prime left and was faced with renewing it again for £79...glad I finally got round to doing it. And as mentioned you can renew for a further 3 years after your 6 months free and first paid year of Student Prime comes to an end. Which I'll do as I also don't want to try and circumvent the system and I wanted to continue with my current email address and connection to all my years of buying activity off Amazon. I find their customer services are pretty good and when they look back through all my past history when I have had need to contact them its always ended positively for me.

I listed my Shaw Academy course in social media was from Mar 17 to Mar 18 (it is in fact a month or at least you have a month to complete the on-line course at your leisure). That was to get the actual NUS Extra card.
For Amazon Prime see my post #481...it seemed irrespective of how long the course was, I listed it the same as I did for the card i.e. 1 year, you are then able to continue to renew for a further 3 years so 4 years (+ 6 months initially free) of Amazon Prime Student in total.
Hope that helps.
I have been seeing these NUS Extra card posts for some time now and thought it would be too complicated to get Amazon Prime Student membership but it was actually fairly simple when it came to doing it. I did it it in an afternoon...I didn't have to wait for 7 days for the Shaw Academy course to be activated.

So you didn't need to cancel your non-student prime and it was automatically refunded? Mine is due to renew in a few weeks, so was thinking of using this and timing it closer to the renewal date rather than mess around refunding. If you get a further 3 after the initial year that will be great as signing up for new address every year to get a new trial could be seen as trying to circumvent the system.

Just an FYI. I think I read this somewhere on HUKD but not sure if it was in this post and can't be bothered to read back through 480 comments. I signed up successfully via the Shaw Academy route, was pre-approved by Amazon after sending a screenshot of my NUS Extra details to them, as mentioned in this post.
After following the link Amazon CS sent me (the one that states you are pre-approved and no need for the .ac.uk email), it mentioned that I would receive a refund on my existing Prime membership. I stated my Shaw Academy course was 1 year in length however in the small print it said after the free 6 month trial I can remain and renew Student Prime membership for 4 years.
So, if you didn't want to mess around buying another course, maybe using a different email address to get the 6 months free trial again, you will be offered to renew your Student Prime for a further 3 years at £39 once your first year comes to an end.

Good idea...I only signed up for 1 year, you only save £4 I think signing up for 3. So, I guess in 18 months (if they haven't placed some restrictions on NUS Extra card members) you could use a different email address and start from scratch and get 6 months free + 12 months for £39. It seems from some comments that you are offered the Amazon Prime Student membership again at the end of your initial year. I'll keep that it mind, thanks.
Happysteveo
25 Feb 17#461
Would it be better to sign up to the NUS card for 1 year and then do it again every year to get the Amazon Prime free for 6 months each time?
I'm assuming if you sign up for 3 years then you could only get the Amazon Prime free for 6 months just the once?

Glad to have helped. When searching on the NUS page, remember it's "The Shaw Academy" not simply Shaw Academy. :grin:
sabresonic
25 Feb 17#459
Thanks, I think I just needed to know this was still working and that Amazon hadn't put a stop on people using this method. I did this purely for the Amazon Prime which having sent through a screenshot of the NUS card app to Amazon CS, I was pre-approved for and now have 14 days to use the link they sent me and sign up - with the free 6 month trial. As I already had a normal trial before taking my current Prime membership out I wasn't sure from reading someone's comment here that I would be eligible for the trial. It falls nicely as my normal Prime comes to an end on the 12th March.
I also bagged the 2 months NowTV Movies and 2 months Entertainment for £1 per month each which pretty much means the card has paid for itself even before Amazon Prime! I've been reading these posts for so long now, I'm pleased I eventually put some time aside to enrol etc and it was far less of a chore than I expected it to be.

Any idea what I can do in a years time to extend the ISIC part?

I purchased the ecareers voucher and the code is invalid to redeem the voucher! Got onto ecareers online chat and the guy was not very helpful, had to send copy of voucher to them and been told to wait a couple of days so they can look at it.. they don't seem to know if they have deals on or not....and wouldn't reply to me asking if it's legit...

Signed up to Shaw Academy , applied for NUS card for 3 years, downloaded NUS extra app , used NUS card number to half the cost of my Spotify subscription , sent screenshot of my account page on app to Amazon using the email address posted in this thread , got 6 months free and gonna cost £39 a year instead of £79
Savings of over £200 over 3 years just from Spotify and Amazon Prime

Did you get any refund on your existing Prime account? Or was it close to renewal time anyway? I am only 3 months into a paid Prime account.... UPDATE: Went ahead and bought the eCareers course and the NUS card. Did the App screen capture thing and emailed it to Amazon CS advising I wanted to convert my existing Prime to Student Prime. They pre-approved the Student trial and I just signed up to the Student Prime trial immediately. Also, got an email that a refund on my existing Prime service has been requested and I should get it soon!

That would be classed as Fraud. To legitimately and ethically obtain an NUS card, you need to become a student, hence signing up for the course first

I logged into Spotify and went to my subscription. I cancelled the subscription (took a few pages and clicks). The remaining part of your current subscription still stands.
Then I logged into NUSExtra and went through the Spotify link, logged in with my Spotify details and added my credit card, NUS number and date of birth. Hit continue and sure enough it shows that my current subscription ends on 20th February and the new payment will be £4.99 from then.

Sorry not got the link but go to the FAQ on Spotify and look for student discounted subscription. There's a link to it and takes 2 mins
You can update your current subscription to the £4.99 per month one and if starts from your next payment. It will so you the date and amount every month to be taken under payments

I've had my Amazon account over 10 years. Have Amazon Prime, but just got this NUS card. Took screenshot of the card details on iOS NUS Extra app (physical card in Post). Sent this, with email to Amazon requesting my account be changed to Amazon Student and got a reply within the hour to say it's been done. 6 months free and £39 after August. The email reply also gave the student Amazon sign up link, but mentioned I had been pre-authorised and to use my gmail details where it asked for ac.uk address. They didn't mention anything about a refund of existing Prime membership (Paid until June) so sent second email enquiring if the amount will appear as credit or be refunded. A few hours later I got reply saying this will be refunded. Also used the Apprentice10 code last night, no problem.

An amazing deal, thanks OP, signed up for the course yesterday, activated today, then signed up for the NUS Extra card, downloaded the app so i didnt have to wait for the actual card to arrive. took a screen shot, sent it to amazon verification's team who approved it and sent me a link to convert my current prime account to a student one starting with 6 months free prime which will be followed by a further years prime in August for £39 - not for getting the code you can use to get £10 off any item sold and fulfilled by amazon !! Just bagged my self a free shower hose that a needed. In addition her in doors uses kindle unlimited, usually £7.99 a month but with this £39 for whole year. Easily paid for itself already. Not forgetting you will actually get 4 years prime at £39 i think + all the other benefits that go with the card, totes bargain!

Students over 25 are eligible for 16-25 Railcard (I had one when I was 43):
"To be eligible as a mature student and buy a 1-year Railcard, you will need: To be attending a recognised college or university, for over 15 hours a week, at least 20 weeks a year. Unfortunately, Open University, distance learning and part-time courses do not qualify. To have the mature student section of the 16-25 Railcard application form completed by your College or University. Have an NUS card or College/University photocard as proof of identity."

That's odd, I've done a few courses with them in the past it was always 8 lessons over 4 weeks as they always do 2 a week so wonder if that's just a mistake on the email? The course itself was genuinely really good by the way, had just bought my first DSLR and it was the perfect guide to getting me up and running fully manual and taking decent pics in a few weeks. The Lightroom course was also really good, although some of the webinar tutors are more engaging than others so it does depend who you get - overall though I can't fault them, learnt a lot for nothing.

Enter your email address, you do not get a student number with Shaw Academy.
If you're getting a error when trying to validate your code you've probably purchased a Shaw Academy course and are trying to redeem it via e-Careers. Instead of using the link in this deal, click the big green "Redeem your voucher" link in the email you receive from Shaw Academy.

I did this last year, its worked well everywhere I tried. Got the discount on the Dell outlet and the student Amazon membership, plus loads more. I am finding most places are moving away from NUS and over to student beans etc, as there are less fake students because of needing a legit student email address.

Never seen that info and never had an option to get a longer expiry! All it's done is saved my student course info for three years but only allows me a card one year at a time or I would've requested a longer expiry to save the yearly replacement hassle.
May possibly depend on the establishment you choose to 'study' with and their terms as I used my local college and I'm guessing they will share 'student' data yearly rather than confirming someone is a student for three years in advance as college can change yearly whilst university tends to be long term and online courses usually offer lifetime access.

Spending £1,499 to get a £16 NUS card might negate the benefits, slightly...?
NickyOhMG
8 Feb 17#237
NUS are clearly aware of the whole situation but as more and more colleges and universities are withdrawing from the scheme (as it costs them tens of thousands per annum to be part of) they are having to push through all applications to increase revenue.
Stores don't mind much either as they always have funds available to subsidise affiliates, marketing promotions and member discounts like this card offers and any stores that didn't want to be giving 10% away to everyone have already left.
So no need to be a law abiding citizen when you're helping keep NUS afloat for the students. You can update us all when you pass your course and cancel your card just to be sure you don't use it for longer than you are a student. Good luck! :wink:

Correct. I purchased and eCareers course that had dates of one year. I entered that into the NUS Extra purchase process and they allowed me to purchase a 3 year card.
Regarding people's comments not needing to buy a course - this has been previously discussed. It MAY work fine but £2/4 is a small price to pay for people who want to do things legitimately. Legally speaking it's a bit of a grey area to buy a course with the intention of never doing it just to get a discount card, but not even buying the course and typing in random details is definitely dodgy.

If you can avoid the shaw academy I would personally - I had no end of phonecalls from them after signing up - still with a 3 year NUS card from it, it was worth it. Now the course has finished the calls have stopped luckily. The Amazon Prime discount is the big win on this - they immediately put me on a 6 month trial even though I was previously paying monthly for it and gave me a pro-rata refund - definitely worth doing.

Think I may have done something wrong but I made sure everything was correct
I already had a card (1 year sub) which was expiring in a few days, decided to just extend it and get 3 years.
Looked into my account and it states:
Online Free ISIC Card
Date 08/02/2017 Reference Number xxxxxxxxxx Card Number 98xxxxxxxxx Expiry Date 12/02/2020 Isic Number S0---------- Isic Expiry Date 08/02/2018 Delivery Address ------------------ Order Status Date Placed 08/02/2017 18:00:19 Paid Awaiting Receipt 08/02/2017 18:02:14 Paid Awaiting Print 08/02/2017 18:02:14
Why is the Isic expiry date 08/02/2018 ? Does it just mean I have to apply again for the card in a year and as I've paid for 3 years it just refreshes?

As evo mentioned earlier, that is classed as fraud by deception. If you would like to legitimately, ethically and legally acquire an NUS card follow the instructions in the post. For a mere £2-4 you are legitimately becoming a student, thus nothing will ever go wrong. Plus, no chance of your card being cancelled etc

No. They would require proof of income along with Student Loan information and college enrolment evidence from a Government authorised place of education. These kind of courses are for people to do in spare time you need to be in full time education where you attend physical premises.
The card itself is nothing more than a discount card it is not a matriculation card and not proof of being a student. You may at any time be asked to show your student ID along with this card to receive 10% off from co-op or cineworld so imagine what would happen at the council tax office!! (_;)

You can but National Rail require further proof you are between 16-25 and sometimes a reference from place of study, this one is difficult. However you can use NUS on the National Rail and MegaBus website

You can apply for an NUS Extra card as an alumni.
There is a difference between an NUS Extra card and a normal NUS card (which I believe is your University ID card with the NUS logo printed on it).

well that was easy.
1. Sign up to the free photography course at Shaw Academy (didn't give my main mobile number on that so don't get pestered) 2. Bought NUS Extra card on the site, used dates of Feb 17 to Feb 18, used my email address for student number (I think it asked me that anyway), and for qualification type etc I chose Other/Other and uploading my sexy passport picture . 3. Installed the NUS Extra app on my phone, logging in to that I was able to see the full details with picture of the card and my NUS card number. 4. Emailed amazon the picture to the signup email address mentioned in earlier posts. 10 minutes later I got an approved email from Amazon. 5. Signed up to Amazon using the link in the email (chose Other/Other again and kept dates the same)
Other half said "Cool I'm dating a student again!" (!) I've never been a student when we've been together :neutral_face:

You need to join a Government recognised education establishment to obtain an AC.UK email. Therefore becoming a legitimate student at a full time college or university with a high street presence is the only way to obtain one. You would have to sign up for a low qualification at college and attend for a few days to get enrolled then leave! In Scotland this be free but not sure elsewhere. You can't just buy one off eBay so wave goodbye to unidays lol.

Just copy and pasted this from an amazon forum. I agree the best bet is to speak to customer support.Worth a try and if not you know how to save when it is due for renewal.
Amazon Customer says: Can I change my regular prime account to student and get refund if I have student email?
In reply to an earlier post on Jan 10, 2017, 9:09:02 PM PST Matt932 says: Contact Customer Support to make sure... but I do believe this is possible.

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.
Best to purchase a new course unless you graduated in the last 12 months.

You need to email Amazon a photo of your card and they will activate your account. Usually six months free then half price for two years.
You get Prime TV included and Prime Music standard version free and of course next day/same day delivery!
signed up for the Alumni card, pays for itself just from a couple of cinema trips. Bonus is it also works as an international student card, so got a few museum discounts when abroad. Should be useful for student gym memberships too. Co-op gives you 10% off shopping as well.

Rubbish, unless somebody at NUSX has recently decreed that they shall activey strive to reduce their revenue from subs. We've been here many times before. There is zero requirement to buy any course nor be studying to apply and obtain an NUS card. The requirements appear to simply be the ability to upload a JPEG photo of anything and ability to throw £12 at a website. To prove a point: my cat has an NUSX card - complete with cute photo and uttlerly implausible but obviously acceptable-to-NUS name similar to Mee Yau.

An alternative is to purchase this Shaw Academy course for £1.99 saving you £2.01 on this deal;

"Amazon Prime benefits received through the Amazon Student programme can't be shared with another Amazon account. Anyone who you currently share benefits with will no longer have access to shared Prime benefits once you sign up to Amazon Student."
I'm curious what happens to accounts you linked before the new credit card sharing family connection type came into play; do the older type of linked Amazon accounts get disconnected too?

I think my uni email account has now been closed :disappointed:
So I did the Shaw Academy route instead, with a new course, and bought a three year card on the spot. Great! Thanks again OP!
(No .ac.uk option, but for £33 you can't really complain)
I did this last year and only signed up for a one year card, but I think I'd like to save myself the hassle of renewing as these things are great. Mine paid for itself instantly and I of course still got discounts on top of that afterwards as the year went on.
Only thing is I wouldn't know what course to sign up for. One that gives you an ac.uk email address would be great so I could sign up for Unidays but I think that'll be unlikely..
The same thing happened with me when I entering the university name in google chrome, I then tried using it on internet explorer and it worked like a charm.
I am not sure if it matters but I chose 3 years of study duration.. now sure if NUS really checks anything
Is this still working btw?
I paid for a photography course through the centre of excellence for £17, I thought I may as well do something that interests me and pay a little more.
There are cheaper courses through them as well

Any idea?
Dell outlet now giving 15% off with NUS card, have not got the card yet but sent screen shot from NUS page to [email protected]dell.com and got a code for 15% discount- CS on chat would not accept screen shot. Saved a few quid - Thanks OP. Amazon next on list when card delivered.
Take a screenshot of your details on the app and send it to amazon
I love it for this alone
Logged in after buying my card and got it on the nus extra app
Picture did not work I don't think but it's the 2nd sign up page when putting the details for nus card
Education Details
Please enter your education details so that your place of study can check your status.
And it has start and end date what level the course is etc
For Amazon Prime see my post #481...it seemed irrespective of how long the course was, I listed it the same as I did for the card i.e. 1 year, you are then able to continue to renew for a further 3 years so 4 years (+ 6 months initially free) of Amazon Prime Student in total.
Hope that helps.
I have been seeing these NUS Extra card posts for some time now and thought it would be too complicated to get Amazon Prime Student membership but it was actually fairly simple when it came to doing it. I did it it in an afternoon...I didn't have to wait for 7 days for the Shaw Academy course to be activated.
After following the link Amazon CS sent me (the one that states you are pre-approved and no need for the .ac.uk email), it mentioned that I would receive a refund on my existing Prime membership. I stated my Shaw Academy course was 1 year in length however in the small print it said after the free 6 month trial I can remain and renew Student Prime membership for 4 years.
So, if you didn't want to mess around buying another course, maybe using a different email address to get the 6 months free trial again, you will be offered to renew your Student Prime for a further 3 years at £39 once your first year comes to an end.
RE AMAZON - has there been things similar to the APPRENTICE10 code before? Still incredible value without £10 off.
Thank you
I'm assuming if you sign up for 3 years then you could only get the Amazon Prime free for 6 months just the once?
I also bagged the 2 months NowTV Movies and 2 months Entertainment for £1 per month each which pretty much means the card has paid for itself even before Amazon Prime! I've been reading these posts for so long now, I'm pleased I eventually put some time aside to enrol etc and it was far less of a chore than I expected it to be.
Any idea what I can do in a years time to extend the ISIC part?
Has anyone else's been printed upside down? In that one side is the different way up to the other?
Savings of over £200 over 3 years just from Spotify and Amazon Prime
Will use to get myself student tickets at cinema now so even more savings
Thanks so much OP , saved me a fortune and can't wait to start my online sports and nutrition course :wink:
I was able to order them today :smile:
Hmm.... what to put in the year of graduation as an alumnus? Valid card but this sticking point....
I am only 3 months into a paid Prime account....
UPDATE: Went ahead and bought the eCareers course and the NUS card. Did the App screen capture thing and emailed it to Amazon CS advising I wanted to convert my existing Prime to Student Prime. They pre-approved the Student trial and I just signed up to the Student Prime trial immediately.
Also, got an email that a refund on my existing Prime service has been requested and I should get it soon!
Could this be why it isn't working? Try again but through your confirmation email.
Thanks for any help :smile:
funny as ****
Do I now have to wait for a voucher code or can I go to the NUS site and buy the card stating my normal email and shaw academy details?
Thanks
You can also sign up for Microsoft Imagine too, for some free Pluralsight training etc... Just need to enter your ASIC number; imagine.microsoft.com/en-us
Then I logged into NUSExtra and went through the Spotify link, logged in with my Spotify details and added my credit card, NUS number and date of birth. Hit continue and sure enough it shows that my current subscription ends on 20th February and the new payment will be £4.99 from then.
I bought the shaw academy course. In the gogroopie it says "Once redeemed, you have 3 months access to complete the course".
So 3 month course = 3 month nus extra card?
definitely my first purchase
priceguidelady.co.uk/piz…es/
There's a link to it and takes 2 mins
You can update your current subscription to the £4.99 per month one and if starts from your next payment. It will so you the date and amount every month to be taken under payments
I just used my email address and it worked fine. I didn't have a security number/code.
Seen the same questions I had repeated several times so if you're stuck, read through… the answers are probably there already.
Amazon Student and Spotify sorted. Cheers.
Some places I've tried to sign up validate you being a student by only accepting .ac.uk email addresses. Anyone know the cheapest way to get one of these?
Paid for this course and card already :grin:
Thanks.
The email reply also gave the student Amazon sign up link, but mentioned I had been pre-authorised and to use my gmail details where it asked for ac.uk address.
They didn't mention anything about a refund of existing Prime membership (Paid until June) so sent second email enquiring if the amount will appear as credit or be refunded.
A few hours later I got reply saying this will be refunded.
Also used the Apprentice10 code last night, no problem.
Think I'll try to shift my shopping across to co-op
There's clearly no checks being done by the NUS people. Didn't ask me for an academic email, either. It asked me for a student number, which I can't remember, so I made up.
There's no difference in the cards - it's just a 'NUS Extra' card (which they both are).
I'm now an 'Amazon Student' with a screenshot of the Alumni card from the NUS app.
You have no course end date in the future so it seems unlikely.
ok thanks. For some reason my Account page has (Null) for expiry date of the Alumni card i bought yesterday. May have to wait until I receive the physical card
Signed up using ecareers under university
Spotify also done
Thanks everyone
"To be eligible as a mature student and buy a 1-year Railcard, you will need:
To be attending a recognised college or university, for over 15 hours a week, at least 20 weeks a year. Unfortunately, Open University, distance learning and part-time courses do not qualify.
To have the mature student section of the 16-25 Railcard application form completed by your College or University.
Have an NUS card or College/University photocard as proof of identity."
send a screen shot of that page to amazon
THIS verifies you have a nus card
Email received!
then paid for 3 years NUS card
Will make my money back in the first year from just using the spotify discount.
then with co-op and burton discounts and so on it really is worth it
grandcentralrail.com/spe…nt/
1, Sign up to one of these online courses http://****/6611fe27
cheapest ones for £1.99 are here http://****/36051c4b
OR
A FREE Beauty course http://****.com/h96p2u2
2, Go to cards.nusextra.co.uk/ , and when prompted to enter "place of study" type The Shaw Academy or Ecareers . It will appear in the drop down box for you to select.
3, Enter your course dates, and what you are studying, if it isn't there enter "other" "other"
3, Pay your money £12 for 1 year, £22 for 2 years or £32 for 3 years.
You will now be sent a student card, which you can use for student discounts.
APPRENTICE10
just in case others missed it :wink:
The ecareers sign up is also instant. Log back into your account once set up and redeem code. Double check all letters/numbers are the same especially 0 and O. My code wasn't working yesterday but worked the third time of trying this morning.
Do you have any idea how long it takes for the activation or email.
3. Once your course has been activated and assigned (you will receive an email) navigate to NUS and sign up as a student. Be sure to select eCareers as your place of study, the card itself should cost £12.00.
X)
Invalid email/password
I've seen this mentioned in the Play store also
I had the same problem at first as I signed up to and entered the voucher at e-careers.co.uk.
It turns out you have to sign up and enter the code at e-careers.com instead. Hopefully that could be the issue that you two are having?
But yet, on/via a 'Corporate' side, are more than prepared/happy to potentially 'contribute' to possibly wayyyyyyyyy worse than the otherwise above aforementioned? (besides?).
Or that of our Summer sun is maybe 'clouding' me .....
I don't get it?, lol.
So Co-op 10% off, 10% Halifax cashback & 1/5% cashback on co-op membership card on a shop by the 26th, AWESOME X)
there in your account is your NUS card including photo
screen shot this then email the screenshot to
[email protected]
wait 5 mins and then you are a prime student
just scan your NUS card and email it to them and they will give you a link to signup
6 months free prime, then £39 a year after
worth it for that alone
the Shaw Academy prob thinking wow new students! HAHA
If you're getting a error when trying to validate your code you've probably purchased a Shaw Academy course and are trying to redeem it via e-Careers. Instead of using the link in this deal, click the big green "Redeem your voucher" link in the email you receive from Shaw Academy.
Got a confirmation by reply within 10mins and I'm now signed up
Oh, and I might just have "forgotten" to actually sign up to the ECareers course too. Such a forgetful fella, me.
May possibly depend on the establishment you choose to 'study' with and their terms as I used my local college and I'm guessing they will share 'student' data yearly rather than confirming someone is a student for three years in advance as college can change yearly whilst university tends to be long term and online courses usually offer lifetime access.
How do you know my university of choice wasn't the one I attended for 4 years?
Co-op/Halifax 10% off a shop cashback expires 26th :wink: Glad I held off, must go look at the promo dates now & plan this well X) X) X)
I signed up last year from a thread someone had made for a NUS card, it's due to run out in April but i can't seem to extend the card as it doesn't give me the option.
When i go on to the renewal site it only gives me the option of a replacement card and nothing else.
just to confirm all real details right? address phone number etc. and pic of your self not a cat

Start shopping today and enjoy fast, convenient delivery on all of your student essentials--from textbooks, video games, software and DVDs to electronics, clothing, lighting and kitchenware.
Thanks for joining Amazon Student.
Stores don't mind much either as they always have funds available to subsidise affiliates, marketing promotions and member discounts like this card offers and any stores that didn't want to be giving 10% away to everyone have already left.
So no need to be a law abiding citizen when you're helping keep NUS afloat for the students. You can update us all when you pass your course and cancel your card just to be sure you don't use it for longer than you are a student. Good luck! :wink:
"Please enter your Shaw Academy student number" (_;)
Are you all uploading the real pic of your self
When the card comes through I'll then do my Amazon prime
Reading through the comments, although I like my cheap deals I like to remain legal and keep some form of honesty. This way I pay £4 maybe learn something, and confidently state I'm a student every time I visit the movies.
Vin vin, now how much is it for the english class
Change ?
That would be cool..
I have an NUS card, there aren't that many discounts around imo
Does the StageCoach turn back into a Pumpkin or something?, hehehehehe. :-)
Regarding people's comments not needing to buy a course - this has been previously discussed. It MAY work fine but £2/4 is a small price to pay for people who want to do things legitimately. Legally speaking it's a bit of a grey area to buy a course with the intention of never doing it just to get a discount card, but not even buying the course and typing in random details is definitely dodgy.
Have signed up for a 3 year card at £32. Did the Shaw Academy course on Viral Marketing :grin: Guess I could've got away with not doing it, but at least this way I'm a bonafide student (again) for the princely sum of £1.99
Buying a course with no intention but to get nus card, legitimate student? hardly.
Buying a course with no intention but to get nus card, ethical? hardly.
As for legalities; Police would laugh at you if you reported someone had applied for nus without being a student!
When will my card expire?
If you purchase your NUS extra card online it will be valid for a full 12, 24 or 36 months from the date of purchase (depending on whether you have purchased a 1, 2 or 3 year card).
Thanks.
gogroopie.com/dea…dle
I already had a card (1 year sub) which was expiring in a few days, decided to just extend it and get 3 years.
Looked into my account and it states:
Online Free ISIC Card
Date 08/02/2017
Reference Number xxxxxxxxxx
Card Number 98xxxxxxxxx
Expiry Date 12/02/2020
Isic Number S0----------
Isic Expiry Date 08/02/2018
Delivery Address ------------------
Order Status Date
Placed 08/02/2017 18:00:19
Paid Awaiting Receipt 08/02/2017 18:02:14
Paid Awaiting Print 08/02/2017 18:02:14
Why is the Isic expiry date 08/02/2018 ? Does it just mean I have to apply again for the card in a year and as I've paid for 3 years it just refreshes?
Problem is that due to work, I'm no longer affiliated with the college and it would cost a fortune for the final year.
It was a few years ago now, so no longer have/remember my college email and most retailers require going through Unidays, which doesn't accept Shaw Academy. Thinking of an Apple purchase, any suggestions?
Regards.
select an organisation. What am I doing wrong?
All done and many thanks to Op :smile:
Waste of time and money.
We use this to check if your place of graduation is part of the extra card scheme
"I'd like to buy your cat sir."
Email received from Shaw Academy with invoice for the "free trial"
There's only 1 lesson in the whole month, which is in 25 days time....."What Is Photography" lol. Wow that would've been £29 well spent if it wasn't a trial
By the way....thankfully there's no need to enter payment info etc, I wouldn't fancy the hassle of having to cancel that nonsense
but I still want an nus card!
If yes then cold, but then again I like pot noodles!
Got my nus
Waiting for the card to get Amazon prime
The card itself is nothing more than a discount card it is not a matriculation card and not proof of being a student. You may at any time be asked to show your student ID along with this card to receive 10% off from co-op or cineworld so imagine what would happen at the council tax office!! (_;)
of study, this one is difficult. However you can use NUS on the National Rail and MegaBus website
There is a difference between an NUS Extra card and a normal NUS card (which I believe is your University ID card with the NUS logo printed on it).
Maybe the thread title should be amended to "NUS Extra card"
From Amazon
1. Sign up to the free photography course at Shaw Academy (didn't give my main mobile number on that so don't get pestered)
2. Bought NUS Extra card on the site, used dates of Feb 17 to Feb 18, used my email address for student number (I think it asked me that anyway), and for qualification type etc I chose Other/Other and uploading my sexy passport picture .
3. Installed the NUS Extra app on my phone, logging in to that I was able to see the full details with picture of the card and my NUS card number.
4. Emailed amazon the picture to the signup email address mentioned in earlier posts. 10 minutes later I got an approved email from Amazon.
5. Signed up to Amazon using the link in the email (chose Other/Other again and kept dates the same)
Other half said "Cool I'm dating a student again!" (!) I've never been a student when we've been together :neutral_face:
I took one from Facebook
Edit - just seen you can send a copy of your NUS card to them to get it.
You don't need one
You just send the picture of your card whe ur arrives and they change your account to the student one
Took 2 hrs from sending the email to them changing my account
We even have the ability to make commission off the sale of these cards...
Amazon Customer says:
Can I change my regular prime account to student and get refund if I have student email?
In reply to an earlier post on Jan 10, 2017, 9:09:02 PM PST

Contact Customer Support to make sure... but I do believe this is possible.
Best to purchase a new course unless you graduated in the last 12 months.
this just worked for me fine. other way still did not work.
Guess it depends where you live? Unless it's free for Alumni anyway?
co-operativefood.co.uk/mem…ip/
Does anybody know how you renew an Alumni Card? Do they send a reminder email?
You get Prime TV included and Prime Music standard version free and of course next day/same day delivery!
amazon.co.uk/gp/…813
Bonus is it also works as an international student card, so got a few museum discounts when abroad.
Should be useful for student gym memberships too.
Co-op gives you 10% off shopping as well.
Price is actually £12 + £1.50 delivery though :face_with_monocle:
Will have to check what's on offer though.
EDIT: This is live for another week now
