Learn how to make your budget go further with our quick guide on where to find the best student discount in 2024.

How to get Student Discount

Proving your student status is usually enough to get that coveted discount. Flashing your student ID card from your university or college works in most instances, but some places may ask that you have a student discount card or a student discount app:

1. Student Beans is a free app and website which offers thousands of enhanced discounts on brands likes ASOS, Gymshark, Dell, Crocs and Pandora. If you’re over 16 and in full-time education at either university, college, sixth form, or high school – this student discount app is for you!
2. A turbocharged replacement for the old NUS extra, Totum is #1 for student discounts. With huge discounts at over 300 high street and online brands, you can score cheaper stuff from favourites like ASOS, Apple, and Amazon. You can go for the free version with fewer discounts - or pay £14.99 for the classic card for a year (£24.99 for 3 years).
3. UNiDAYS is one of the most popular student discount schemes and is fully free to join. Get access to loads of offers on their website and app.
