    Could we have a student discount thread stickied and everyone can post where their student card has got them discounts or where we can ask about student discounts? Please. :)

    I've gotten discounts in Topshop, NewLook, HMV and Dorothy Perkins. You can also get student haircuts at PeterMarks.

    These are replies to the student discount thread in Bargain Alerts.

    5% off in GameStop - 10% off in Heatons

    10% discount in zavvi. You need a valid student card and you have to register in store. Only takes 5 mins though

    10% in HMV (they'll give you their own student card when you show your normal one)

    10% in Schuh

    Most cinemas give a discount too.

    10% off in Arnotts Jervis Centre branch for students. It's their new premises, lots of nice things there.

    No official student discount, but McGuirk's Golf in Blanchardstown SC gave me 10% off when I asked.

    Do Irish student cards work in the UK for getting discounts?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 mhogan101


    Almost every place do student discounts now but most of the places don't advertise that fact, if you are not shy chance your luck everywhere but there are also great sites that tell you where, some though you have to buy a card like usit and VIP card but there are others like student deals and student smart that are free... I never pay full price and I'm sure I've saved hundreds over the years :-)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭pervertedcoffee


    Hughes and Hughes give a 20% discount...well at least in Cork airport anyway - but I think they're pretty much the same across the board (and they do have an ordering system in the airport store). Iused to work there :rolleyes: Those were the days!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13 mhogan101


    That's a brilliant discount, 20% is alot for a book store... I was gutted last week when a friend told me they saved a fortune on driving lessons through studentsmart website, I paid full wack for 7 of them few months ago, didn't even think to ask about a student discount :mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 Sweetie79


    a-wear 15% off with the student card:)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭electrogrimey


    Topman has 15% off at the moment, not sure how long it's for though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,238 ✭✭✭Justin10


    Burtons have 15% off too

    Can you use your student card in england??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 407 ✭✭kaiser soza


    Looks like HMV are doing away with their 10% student discount,I heard they should be some kind of reward card to replace it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,803 ✭✭✭El Siglo


    Mother Reilly's on Upper Rathmines Road does a student discount, all pints are €3.50 when you show them a student card (any student card, not just the travel one).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭electrogrimey


    Londis have 10% off, and when you're getting roll for €1.77 you can't ask for more than that.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 380 ✭✭gigawatt

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 186 ✭✭gags89


    hey guys students can get education discounts from apple from their online store..


    www.apple.com/ie/aoc

    if your in UCC, DIT, UCD, TRINITY, NCAD, DCU.

    if your not , DIT.IE and search 'apple' its unsecured so theres no login way of telling if your a student or not!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48 smellslikelemon


    Domino's have a 12% student discount but it's not applicable to any of the deals, so basically only if you're getting a pizza on it's own.

    Do many of the discounts mentioned still apply. Or is just a matter of asking


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,442 ✭✭✭MickShamrock


    Do most places accept your Student ID card for discounts or do you need something else?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭electrogrimey

    Depends, you often need a student travelcard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 850 ✭✭✭ordinary_girl


    Anyone know if Subway still do student discounts?

    And there's 10% off in O'Brien's Sandwiches on Westmoreland Street in Dublin, 15% off for Trinity and DIT students too.

    20% off with the UCD Ents card [not applicable to other deals though :( ]

    2 for 1 in Captain Americas, Mondays to Fridays aswell with most college society cards. They've also got their own Student card (which basically does the same thing)

    And, Monday - Wednesday in Captain Americas 3€ pints and 3€ selected cocktails

    Also Zumo 2.95 (or somthing) for a large in UCD, compared to 4 something in town

    McDonalds apparently have a 10% discount too with the Travelcard

    Mine has in shops and cinemas in London.. but that's probably because it doesn't look Irish


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,310 ✭✭✭spider_pig


    just started my first day there today as a student and was wondering about the discount card thing
    so basically you need to buy the travel card to get the discounts is that rite? is the travel one the best one to get or is there any other ones worth buying.
    bit mad alright cost me €10 for the collage i.d no more money to save money :confused:

    One of the best deals has to be for getting the card that's the one when you open an AIB student account. You get a voucher for a student travelcard. That means it only costs three euro well worth it as you are sure to save more than that over the year ....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 159 ✭✭W86indow

    Just so you know those laptops are extremely expensive for the specs they have. If you ask in the laptops forum they will find you much better deals.

    To be honest laptops4students and campus.ie seem to bad to be true and make massive amounts of money ripping off students by advertising **** as a good deal. Neither of them care about value or students at all.

    McElhinneys offer 10% off for students online, u just have to scan in ur student card.
