I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but the person who is not getting in free can buy a student ticket. What we do is split the cost of the student ticket between the two of us so it comes out at £2.20 each.

For Scots, if you have a Young Scot Card you can buy a student ticket at the Odeon (haven't tried this at Cineworld) and use your YSC to get another discount making it £4.50 instead of a fiver.

Hey,

Can get 10% discount in Matalan but has to be an NUS Extra card. They also got some bedding on bogof (for those moving out) and I think it's 20% off at Peacocks at the moment.

I have tried it in many cinemas and the policy is consistant - you must produce two NUS/student cards to get the orange wednesday tickets at the student price. In other words they will only give you the cheapest tickets for free so if you only have 1 student card then the cheaper student ticket would become the free one anyway!

Someone please correct me if im wrong but as far as i know the only way to get a valid NUS card is to be in full time higher education, a-levels, a degree, a HND etc so i doubt youll be able to get one.

i work for a FE college that also runs a few full time HE programmes and anyone at our college can have a NUS card as long as they pay the correct fee. so even if they're doing a 2 hour a week evening course they can apply for a NUS card.

Hi

I have a student discount card, which I have used in store, but have tried to register online to use. I have followed on screen instructions, but still doesn't work. I ahve contacted technical advice, but they just told me to do exactly what I have been doing. Has anyone else had problems with this card? My card says it will run out on 30th sept 2007. Any advice?!

Not sure if this is what you mean Bevann but my HMV student card ran out so I went instore and showed them my uni ID. The blokey gave me a leaflet with a new HMV card in it and then I registered it online again.
