Anyone in the UK have a NUS Extra card?

Not a big user of Spotify but maybe the Amazon discount will be worthwhile, not a huge amount off but better than paying full

 

Think of how much you spend on Amazon every month, if you can save more than £1 per month you're more than paying for the NUS card, while you're a student you've really got to learn to manage your money, especially if you're living in accommodation and not at home since you have to buy food and such. I got one and at the end of the year totalled everything up and saved over like £250 from the card, so for me it was more than worth it.

For those who don't know its basically student discounts for £12 a year and I was wondering if anyone has had it before and could let me know whether it is worth it or not?

If you pop on the site i believe it tells you the places you can use it. Its worth it if you use them stores and i also believe spotify is 50% so for me it would be worth for spotify =p

I've had one before, Spotify half price pays for the card 6x a year.

I've had it since I was 16 (20 now in Uni) and without fail every year I saved AT LEAST £100 on it with ease. Spotify half price, you get discounts/free things in a lot of food places, and cloths shopping too, it really is a must have seeing as you can easily save the £12 back again within a month max. 

 

If you're a uni student it is less useful though, because I can just use my uni card to get most of the same deals (Not spotify though)

VoucherCloud is an app a lot of people at Uni use instead now

I had it before, I only ever used it once and that was when I was buying coco butter lotion, got £2 off the original price. In my opinion it wasnt worth it for me because I actually forgot I had one on me.

If it's not £13 I'm getting robbed, to be fair I'm constantly listening to music literally 2.5hrs in the gym, 30 min drive, and when I'm just chilling at home for about 4 hours.

Thanks for all of the replies, I probably will get one just because its not that expensive and may come in handy every now and then
