National Express NX2 Card code wanted!

I found that if you buy a NX2 Card on NE website, there is a box for promotion code. Has anyone got one, please? Many thanks.

    You could try CSSCFIFTEEN for 15% off. I know it works on fares but not sure if it works when buying a card.

    Thank you! But it doesn't work: The promotion code entered is not recognised or is not valid for this type of purchase.

    Another thing is this code does work together with NX2 Card :j

    Try opening a Barclays Student Bank Account and you'll get a 3-year NX2 card free! :beer:

    Don't hold your breath about the quality of the coaches though. Only routes to London have decent coaches... all others are clapped-out carriages well past their use-by date :mad: I've emailed them about it and they never reply :confused: :mad:

    Aberdeen to London,which must be one of the longest routes (12 hours)is no great shakes either.They use 51 reg double deckers,which sound quite new,but must have been round the clock a few times and have no leg room..We used these last week.On the way up,they kept stopping for water.On the return,did'nt know the problem,but they fiddled around at Glasgow,then pulled into the depot at Hamilton and backed over a pit.20 miles later the coach played up again and we pulled into a dark layby at 1 in the morning to swop coaches and luggage,an even more basic double decker this time for another 8 hours to Victoria.
    Then we saw the state of the art coaches lined up at London for Birmingham and Bristol(journey time 2-3 hours)
    Still,at least our drivers stayed cheerful,and it cost us a quid each way,but it was the journey from hell.

    I had got my Barclays Student Bank Account before this semester stared. :confused: Therefore I'm not going to get this offer. Thank you anyway.

    Instead of that, I've got 860 points on their website, which should be redeemed only in May. But that's my exam period :mad:

    I had 140 points but these have suddenly disappeared for no apparent reason, even though I use a student barclaycard :mad: I've emailed them and they say they'll "investigate" but I'm sure they'll only get back to me after the May deadline :mad:

    Problem is they have a monopoly over the country's coach system so they can do what they like and treat us like dirt if they wish. The coaches headed to Cardiff and Swansea from B'ham are c*** and so old and noisy.

    However, B'ham to London is Climate controlled, extra leg room, comfy and safer 3-point seat belts, larger washroom, etc. :mad:

    It's time this discrimination stopped :mad: :mad: :mad:
