Discounts galore!

September 30th, 2009 Student Rights wants to help students with issues that matter to them as a student and we believe that one of the most important things to a students social life and budget is discounts and helping you to live for less. Below are some organisations that might be able to help…

From the mists of the internet comes Student Beans. A wonderful site which offers students great discounts at restaurants, pubs, cinemas. Think of it as the world’s largest and interactive coupon book.

The National Union of Students also offers an NUS Extra card which offers you discounts in loads of shops such as TopShop and Dorothy Perkins. Note though that just a bog standard student card issued for free when you register with your university will offer you most of the same discounts, and save you a tenner. Its still definitely worth a look at though.


Don’t forget to register for your Student Oyster card. It costs £5.00 and gives you 1/3 off on all monthy, weekly and yearly travel cards. However, it does not give you 1/3 off for day travel cards. To get this, you need to link your Young Persons rail card with it which you can get for free for 5 years when you open a student bank account with Natwest.
