I need a student rail card but i really want a free one. any idea where i can get one?

Some banks give rail cards as incentives to sign up for their student account. Other than that- I'm afraid you cant really get them for free, they'll cost you £20.

Natwest offer you one for free when you open the student account. In my opinion of all the banks I use Natwest are the best so far.

You might have to wait a while for the good offers to kick in ... I opened my student account early and never got any of the offers and freebies Seems like some places don't start doing them until the summer.

don't be so bloody tight - they cost £20, you'll save that in one (semi) long journey.

HAHA Well free is better then paying. The thing is i dont really use trains. I only use them like twice a year max. Im catching a train from london to preston though and if its cheaper the get the rail card then ill get it

Just pay £20! You will be suprised at how often you will use the train, and also because of the money off you might even use it more often. Stop being a scrounger and pay for it like the rest of us do!!!!!!!

According to Martin, Nat West gives cards to 1st years who open a new account. Not sre how they check that you are a first year - could be worth a look:

Mind you it's a family rail card, not a student rail card
