NUS Extra card - worthwhile?

[balancingfigure]

I've just started a job which apparently means I can get an NUS Extra card. Just wondered how much benefit I would get from it. It isn't very much to buy but my purse is bulging with loyalty cards and I don't want to add one if there is not much use.

Can anyone recommend good discounts?

I use mine all the time.
Co-op & new look mainly

Amazon. Half price Prime membership and % off books and most other stuff.

Amazon give good discount on it, and Dr Martens!

How did I forget Amazon! They do discount on books/clothes sometimes too.

Amazon sounded great but you have to have a 'student Amazon ' account.

I downloaded the app and that gives lots more local offers so I think it will be worth it though

But you can get an Amazon student account with an nus extra card can't you?

Amazon and Coop - has paid for itself umpteen times over

My coop won't let me use it. They reckon they're not part of the national coop. Even though it says coop on the shop!

Definitely! 10 per cent at co op saved me a bomb on Xmas booze plus everyday shopping. Top shop and lots of other high street stores. Pizza express 40 percent off total bill Monday and. Tuesday, twenty percent other times I think? I have just bought a three year one and I will be 48 by the time it expires :)

Can someone explain Amazon because I must have missed that one, what's a student account please? X

You need a valid ac.uk email

I don't have one of those but thanks anyway. I still get my money's worth regardless.

Also , my son has one as a sixth form student and he has been able to buy a cheap annual bus ticket in our area, which is saving us a fortune.

I live in S Manchester, once a year there is a big student discount week in the shopping centres with bigger discounts.

Definitely, can be used in loads of places - cinema, food (use once at Pizza Express at 40% off and that alone has nearly paid for the card!), clothes, Amazon, Superdrug, co-op, New Look, etc. Wouldn't be without it.

My top picks are Amazon, asos and dominoes

Forgot Superdrug! Of course! Great offers and 10% on top l though you have to get a free loyalty card to get the discount.

Forgot about the cinema!

I use mine all the time at new look and super drug

No co-op locally unfortunately

Thanks for that Amazon link, I hadn't seen that. I do have an ac.uk email so worth looking further. DH and I both use my current Amazon account, in fact he uses it more than me so would be fab if I can get it to work.

There's a way round the.ac.uk email as I got mine before starting uni.

How ? I'd be very interested if you know how?

Does pizza express still do student discount?

Yes!

Absolutely! It's one of the few perks of working in further education.

My NUS card paid for itself within a few months.

If you work at an academic institution, you will have an ac.uk email address. You can use that to register for a student Amazon Prime account like my colleagues not me do.

And Spotify Premium only costs a fiver a month, rather than £10.

Sorry, found it but it's no help to none students

I think I can do this! Thanks !
