Another one for teachers: https://www.teachersdiscounts.co.uk.
And their sister site for NHS workers: http://www.nhsdiscounts.co.uk/
As advised elsewhere, though, do shop around!

If you can prove that you are a student or a teacher then you can pick up a copy of Microsoft Office XP for almost half price from any retailer of Microsoft applications.
The rules say that if you are studying you can use the software on up to 3 machines but it cannot be used for commercial purposes.
I am an adult education officer for a charitable organisation and my photo ID card was sufficient proof for PC World to give me the discount.

I got the same discount when I bought my PC in 2001, but for being a student, not a teacher. I was only doing a once-a-week evening class at a local language centre but it was good enough!

Hi All,

I run a tyre fitting franchise (no names mentioned) and would like to discuss the merits of it but there would be a personal gain for me and I don't wish to breach the Forums rules.

How can I best approach this as I feel that what I have to offer could save most of the subscribers several pounds on the cost of there tyres. We are good at what we do, and we also come to you (at no extra cost).

Help, what is the 'referrers' section?

Best Wishes,
Guy.

I know it's not quite a 'job' but along a similar line, if you are a Scout leader, then Blacks and Millets will give 10% discount on production of a Scout record book or other evidence of Scout group membership, not sure if this applies to Guide leaders as well though.
(Blacks may also give discounts on some items for D of E entrants on production of a logbook, as they are official sponsors and supporters of the Award.)

Same applies to Air cadets ( poss army cadets too) You ask sometimes you get no problems sometimes you have to ask for the manager.

I used to be a civil servant (over 20 years ago) and we got discounts then on things like motor insurance.

Members of the Royal Society of Chemistry can get 60% off their AA renewal - even if already a member - there was a discount code supplied by the RSC and you use it at renewal time. We did it this Jan and it has made the AA very competitive for us.

Also music teachers usually get discounts on any music thay buy - most shops will give 5 - 10% if you ask.
