    Terms and Conditions stae:
    Your Railcard will only be renewed for a maximum overall term of 5 years. Students who will be aged over 26 at the expiry of their Railcard will be issued with a Railcard that expires either at the end of their degree course or on the day before their 27th birthday.

    So you can still get it over 25 but only for the length of your course not the full 5 year (Unless of course, your course is 5 years long)
  • Also a free webcam if you apply online.

    I got this info tyhis morning. The thing is I never told natwest I was going to uni and teh info was spesific about upgrading my account!

    I would like the free rail card but I want to keep my solo card and NO OVER DRAFT!

    Is there any point in getting a student account?
    Debt free and plan on staying that way!!!!

    Unless they changed it this year then unless you go in and ask them to upgrade your card to Maestro they will continue to send you Solo cards even after you upgrade to a student account. Plus the Overdraft can't be activated until September anyway so you can just not bother activating it. That way you could still get the railcard.
  • I got one as i knew i was going to be travelling into uni and back everyday.....waste of time for me.....can't use it before 10am and all my lectures started at 9am grrrrr. Oh well
