Discounts

One of the most apparent benefits of being a student is access to student discounts. Usually, an NUS card or your university student card provides you with discounts to shops in-store. But when it comes to online shopping, two websites give you access to the best deals: Unidays and Studentbeans.

Unidays

Unidays give students free and instant access to student discounts, and signing up is easy with your university email and matriculation number. Unidays is available online, but they also have an app that takes you directly to your desired retailer, making shopping even more accessible!
