One of the best things about being a student is the incredible deals you can access. With a flash of your student card you can save some serious cash. But where should you be heading for the best deals? Don’t worry, we’ve rounded up the deals you need to know about.
Firstly, there are three student discount providers that should be on your radar. Signing up and keeping an eye on the latest updates from these three organisations is a simple way to make your student loan go that bit further.
NUS Extra
To get a three-year NUS card you’ll need to pay £32 but it’s worth paying if you use it right. You’ll have access to over 200 UK student discounts for the whole of your course. Among the top deals are 50% of Microsoft products, free Beats when you invest in a Mac, and 10% off all your shopping at The Co-op.
You can also find plenty of options when it comes to updating your wardrobe. Retail discounts include New Look, Missguided, and Asos. Or when you want to head out for some food, options include Pizza Express, Chiquito, and Barburrito. You’re even covered if you want to head out for the day at some of the UK’s top theme parks and other entertainment destinations.
Of course, if you don’t want to pay the extra cash for an Extra card, the standard NUS card can still offer you plenty of deals too.
UNiDAYS
UniDAYS is free to join. Once you’ve signed up, you’ll be given instant access to all the deals the brand has to offer – and there are a lot!
Partnering with some of the biggest brands in the UK means UNiDAYS has some incredible options to browse. As it’s completely free, it’s well worth checking the site before you make any purchase. Among the instantly recognisable names that UNiDAYS gives you deals to are Spotify, Apple Music, House of Frasers, Urban Outfitters, and so much more.
The handy ‘latest’ tab means that it’s simple to keep your eye out for the latest deals but be careful, some are only around for a limited time.
Student Beans
Student Bean is the lesser known place to head to for deals out of these three options. However, that doesn’t mean it’s not worth checking out. Bringing together useful resources, including offers and discounts, it’ll quickly become one of your most used websites.
Making a huge range of deals easily accessible, you’ll find something across almost every category on this site. It doesn't matter if you need to do some food shopping or you want to head on an adventure day out. You can even get 35% off at Dominos when you’re studying and need to refuel. Check what’s available on Student Bean before you commit to buying anything.
