How do you get a student discount card?

fuzzgun19

My son goes to college full time, and would like to know if there's a way to get a student discount on websites and in shops.. is there a free way without paying for a card?

Some places will offer a discount on production of a student ID card but it'll be up to the retailer/provider whether they do this - even as a 50 year-old postgraduate I got a discount on haircuts and on glasses that I bought from Vision Express. Best thing is for him to ask before buying, if you don't ask you don't get.

Thanks, does anyone know about online discounts?

Yes, get an NUS card, you pay something like £10 a month for 10-15% off places like Topman and other highstreet retailers.

If you don't want to pay for one you should get them through college!

Also, open a Natwest student account and you'll get things like railcards, tastecards etc. as a student.

It's actually £12 a year for an NUS card

this depends on what the OP means by "college" to get an NUS card you have to studying a further or higher education course.

Actually you can get a NUS extra card when you turn 16 and still in secondary school!

Nope! You can also get one if you're studying GCSEs in year 11 as long as you're 16.

Unidays is the main route that websites use.
