Minty Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Everyone can get 10% off at ASOS, 25% off Odeon, 5% off Amazon and Apple The card gets students discounts at many online stores including 25% off Odeon tickets, 10% off ASOS, 10% Co-operative and 5% off at Amazon as well as many high street shops. If you finished studying a long time ago, it doesn’t mean you have to live a discount-free life, as The Sun have found an above-board loophole which means EVERYONE can get an NUS student card. How you can become a student for £4 The first step to getting a student card is to become a student, and there is no need to fork out £9,000 on tuition fees – just £4 on an online learning course. With an NUS Extra card you can get discounts at McDonald’s, Apple, Odeon and Amazon Online education provider, e-Careers offers courses in everything from, Business to Beer and Mixology courses. It is also officially affiliated with NUS, meaning that if you sign up to an e-Career course, you can officially get an NUS card. The cost of these courses on the e-Career website tend to be around the £200 mark, but the trick is to go to a daily deals site where these courses are heavily reduced – often by up to 97%. Daily deals site GoGroopie currently has an ‘Introduction to Microsoft New Features Online Course’ for £4, down from £100 until Wednesday 27 September. Once you have signed up, you don’t actually have to do the course (although you could if you wanted to) but are officially a student and can get yourself an NUS Extra card which would usually cost you £12. How to buy your NUS extra card Go to the top right of the NUS Extra page and click ‘Buy your NUS Extra card now’ and fill in your details. There will be an option to choose ‘e-Careers’ from the university drop-down menu. NUS You don’t have to be a student to get a student discount Just put in your normal email address and fill in your details. You will have to spend an extra £1 to get it delivered to your home, rather than the e-Careers head office. The discount card is valid for one year. What kind of discounts can you get? There are hundreds of offers advertised on the NUS site, the best ones include: 25% off Odeon tickets 40% off Pizza Express 10% off ASOS 5% off Amazon 10% off Co-operative Up to 15% off Mac 10% off at Superdrug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mobisat Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 CHEERS, I'm now officially a 3 year NUS student 33.50 (32 quid for 3 years and 1.50 to post the card out) plus the 4 quid for the course. For info when you go to the GoGroopie site search for "Microsoft New Features" (without the quotes) and it is the first item. Oh, now to be an Amazon Prime student member etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob6600 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 OK so where am I going wrong? 'Buy your NUS extra card' takes me to a page asking for email address. I input that and it then asks for details of where the course is.What do I put in there? There is no drop down menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chizh Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Seem to remember it filtered as I typed when I did mine last year bob. Lots of reports at the time said they don't check so you can pick pretty much any institution you want. NUSExtra apparently work on volume discount offers so the more people join the better bargaining power they have. Scorpion, you can choose 1,2 or 3 years IIRC. mobi, Amazon is a fairly simple process. Just email them a scan of the front & back of the card and they send you to a specific link for you to complete the Prime Student signup. 6 months free then £39.

mobisat Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Also if you download the NUS extra app or their website it gives you a promotional code for extra money off Amazon until the end of the month for students only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmob Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Bob, Same problem mate, did you choose a random one? Confused, why do we need to pay for this course, when you can just order the card on that bus extra, or won't it work without the email used to purchase course? I am just filling in random details, place of study etc, then it's £32 a card Am I doing it right, doesn't feel like it lol Bob, Same problem mate, did you choose a random one?

bob6600 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I left it as I wasn't sure whether I was doing it right. Seems like your way is correct, hoping they don't check it May give it a go when I get a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chizh Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Pssstttt. You can get 10% off Morrisons shopping using these student discount for the next 3 months. Work only with Unidays account - who don't accept e-careers etc AFAIK. Just renewed last years NUS card - for 3 years this time. Seemed to go OK. Money been taken and got confirmation from both NUS and Gourmet society (which is extra) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2905 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I selected" Ecareers" and then" A level" and then "other". Selected 3 years and then it asked me to pay £32 for a 3 year card. Is this right? I mean i suppose £32 won't be too much to pay if i get discounts on stuff and Amazon prime student rate but is £32 right and will they issue a card with these selections i made? I'm a bit concerned that in the OP description it says "we at the Sun" I'm thinking that this has already been hammered if it was printed in that comic. I would imagine i get my money back if they refuse the application though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fon Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Mobi just to confirm. Did you just buy the card without there course? Fon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobisat Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 I bought the course first, however I didn't see any sort of validation to prove that you had an e-careers course. Not fussed either way as it was only 4 quid. Worth it just for Amazon Prime Student etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
