You can’t help but notice the cost of living is rising and the news is full of disheartening reports. So it’s more important than ever to be savvy with your money. A university degree can cost over £9,000 a year, and with student accommodation costs on top we encourage everyone to make use of any benefits that come with being a student!
If you have an ‘ac.uk’ email address then you can get several discounts, cards and apps to help make your money go a little bit further. After all, any savings are better in your pocket.
The Totum card includes discounts such as:
- Pizza Express
- Megabus
- Railcards
- Odeon
- Amazon Prime
- and many more …
The Totum card is free, and the pro account starts from £14.99 a year, so it could definitely be worth the initial outlay if you make the most of every discount.
The UniDays app can offer discounts with many places including high street names such as:
- Nike
- New Look and
- Urban Outfitters
If you travel to and from your student accommodation by train, then grab yourself a 16-25 Railcard and get ⅓ off rail travel – that could add up to an average £159 saved a year.
Hundreds of companies offer student discounts, free trials or BOGOF offers, it’s a way to build brand loyalty while recognising that students are often short of money. Sometimes they are not advertised widely so it’s always worth having your student ID with you and asking the question.
Combine maxing out any discounts available with budgeting and you can stretch your money to make the most of every penny. Read our budgeting blog for more money saving tips and ideas.
