For those who don't know how to become a student, and become eligible for an NUS/NUS Extra card, here's how in 3 simple steps:

gogroopie.com/dea…rse
2. Activate your voucher instantly on the eCareers website:
e-careers.co.uk/red…her
When scrolling through the T&Cs, only accept the FIRST box, or you will have to wait 7 days before you can access your course.

NUS may check your eligibility with eCareers, so make sure your data (Name, DOB etc.) match up!
An alternative is to purchase this Shaw Academy course for £1.99 saving you £2.01 on this deal;
gogroopie.com/dea…99_? obviously if you go for the shaw academy course, you must pick shaw academy as your place of study when signing up with NUS.
List of discounts here:

sorted byRubbish, unless somebody at NUSX has recently decreed that they shall activey strive to reduce their revenue from subs. We've been here many times before. There is zero requirement to buy any course nor be studying to apply and obtain an NUS card. The requirements appear to simply be the ability to upload a JPEG photo of anything and ability to throw £12 at a website. To prove a point: my cat has an NUSX card - complete with cute photo and uttlerly implausible but obviously acceptable-to-NUS name similar to Mee Yau.

1. Sign up to the free photography course at Shaw Academy (didn't give my main mobile number on that so don't get pestered)
2. Bought NUS Extra card on the site, used dates of Feb 17 to Feb 18, used my email address for student number (I think it asked me that anyway), and for qualification type etc I chose Other/Other and uploading my sexy passport picture .
3. Installed the NUS Extra app on my phone, logging in to that I was able to see the full details with picture of the card and my NUS card number.
4. Emailed amazon the picture to the signup email address mentioned in earlier posts. 10 minutes later I got an approved email from Amazon.
5. Signed up to Amazon using the link in the email (chose Other/Other again and kept dates the same)
Other half said "Cool I'm dating a student again!" (!) I've never been a student when we've been together

Someone call the police!
Too many Roids!
I'm here and I couldn't give a flying........
Depends how much you want to bribe them with. Option of 1,2 or 3 years.
EDIT: This is live for another week now (edited)
You should have studied harder on your course....
That my friend is fraud. I think it's worth a couple of quid to be technically legit. It's worth it for the Amazon Prime alone.
There is also not a great deal 'ethical' about registering to study with no intention of studying or completing the course just to get nus discounts.
but I still want an nus card!
Yes. But only nudes.
So signing up for Amazon Student should be OK?
Nah, it would be a DPA minefield if NUSX started attempting to casually extract that sort of info from UK educational institutions, plus the Subject Access Request workload would rocket.
Yes, signing up for Amazon there are two options, a) sign up with .ac.uk email address or b, send them a picture of both sides of your NUS, I did this already and have Amazon prime free for 6 months then £35 a year for 4 years
I Agree, for a mere £4 (buying the course), you become a student legitimately purchasing an NUS Card
(edited)
Your student ID is the email that you signed up for the Shaw academy site with.
ive had one for the last 5 years, no problems whatsoever I use the Spotify, Amazon and co-op discounts too
As evo mentioned earlier, that is classed as fraud by deception. If you would like to legitimately, ethically and legally acquire an NUS card follow the instructions in the post. For a mere £2-4 you are legitimately becoming a student, thus nothing will ever go wrong. Plus, no chance of your card being cancelled etc

Good effort though
The terms and conditions state "In order to purchase the NUS extra Alumni Card you must be an individual that has graduated from a course of study at a FH or HE institution in the past 12 months."
(edited)
what has age got to do with being a student? and you need a real photo of you for when you use the card in a shop/restaurant etc.
Students these days! We used to get 50% off rail tickets, just took it in turns travelling in the big suitcase.
Enter your email address, you do not get a student number with Shaw Academy.
If you're getting a error when trying to validate your code you've probably purchased a Shaw Academy course and are trying to redeem it via e-Careers. Instead of using the link in this deal, click the big green "Redeem your voucher" link in the email you receive from Shaw Academy.
Terms and conditions state you need to have graduated in the last 12 months, so again, probably worth 4 quid to be legit

sign into your NUS Extra account on android or ios
there in your account is your NUS card including photo

amazon-student-verification@amazon.co.uk
