"16-25 Railcard, £14 in Tesco pts" deal

Mature students are eligible for a 16-25 Railcard. But they cannot use this Tesco points deal (which requires you to apply online) as they have to go to a staffed booking office with proof of student status to get a card. I rang Clubcard Deals to enquire about this and the adviser said their guidance didn't mention this situation and told me to contact ATOC railcard enquiries and ask them.

    You need to show proof to purchase as a mature student your right to the 16-25 railcard. How can you do this online?
