student discount cards.... best one?

[olivia41]

Hi, can anyone recommend a student discount card, please? There seem to be lots on offer!! Thanks.

ds got offered the nus extra card but looking at where the discounts were it didn't seem worth the £12 he's going to get the 3 yr railcard for £70

DS has the NUS one. It has more than paid for itself in discounts at pizza hut. Many shops give 10%.
He has a railcard as well, you can get those with Tesco vouchers. That has saved him a lot this year as well

You can also get a free railcard with a Santander student account.

That's really helpful - thanks for the replies - think I'll get a NUS one - interesting about the railcard as well! Thanks again.

For lots of places, just your university/college card will be enough to get the student discounts, specially in the town/city where you are based.

Don't bother most places just give the discount on student ID.

I use my student ID for what I need.

Many thanks for replies, on second thoughts, will probably stick with student ID -
