Student Discounts and Offers

You don't need us to tell you that going to Uni is expensive. There are fees and rent to pay, books to buy, and the occasional pub trip to fund as well.

We've all been there - the loan instalment comes in, you feel flush, so you treat yourself to the odd luxury item. A new dress here, a new laptop there, and then all of a sudden you're living off baked beans for the rest of the term.

It doesn't have to be like that! Spend your money wisely - and use your student discount as often as you can - and you'll be able to buy the things you need (and want) without making your parents worry about you not having enough cash to eat properly.

Our money saving guide is here to help you become a savvy student when it comes to online shopping.

Discounts

The NUS student discount is the bread and butter of money saving. Once you’ve got yourself an NUS Extra card, you’ll be able to get money off from some of the UK’s favourite brands, including the likes of Apple and ASOS, and high street fashion stores like New Look and Topshop. The discount is often 10%, but can vary between around 5% and 25%.

At GetPaidTo, we work with a whole host of brands that offer student discount – meaning that not only do you get your discount, but you can get cashback and earn points too.

Earn cash rewards without spending a penny

Looking for a way to earn money online that doesn’t involve buying things in the first place? With GetPaidTo, you can earn points by carrying out simple tasks, such as watching videos or taking online surveys.

Once you’ve collected points, it’s up to you what you do with them. You can either use them to get more cashback on your shopping, exchange them for gift cards at leading retailers such as Amazon, or cash them out to your PayPal account.
