NUS card, final year

in Student MoneySaving
Bit of a dilemma, I want to buy a new NUS card, and I am currently a full-time student, but am about to graduate in a few months. Anyone know if this is a loophole and I'll still be able to use it for one (or three) years? Has anyone done this? I don't fancy the graduate one as apparently it's not the same discounts

Please help!

    My friend bought the 3 year NUS card in May before she graduated and it's totally legit :D I will be buying mine in the next few days to continue getting 3 extra years of student discounts (I buy a LOT of Student Specials at my theatre and save anywhere from 5% to 80% but I don't really benefit from other offers as I never really spend money).

    Buy the 3 year NUS card if you will make at least £36 of savings across those 3 years and don't forget to tell your friends too! :)

    If you ever use Co-op that should more than cover the card cost alone.

    I can assure you it does! Not only has my friend done this successfully but NUS also contacted me when it was time to renew and advised me to buy the 3 year card to continue getting discounts well after my student status expired :D
