  Not so much a "glitch" as a "scam".

  I didn't intentionally scam. I closed the page until I could get my credit card details and then when I click on the card page, it kept telling me "a card has already been ordered with this e-mail".
  I then went on the my cards page and it said I had placed an order even though I hadn't paid
  
  So I ended up buying a replacement card as the only way I could buy a card with my student union e-mail!

  Aren't they this cheap at the moment anyway due to near end of Academic year as they expire in August

  Nope, they had a half-price sale on not long ago though.

  Yeah sadly :( I'm not sure if you can order one that starts being valid for the next year though

  Given it a go. We'll see if they accept or not!
  
  I noticed that it would actually be only £4 for a replacement but they are charging £1.99 for the replacement ISIC card which is currently being offered free when you buy the full price NUS card. If you remove this from the original order (which you don't complete) then you wouldn't be charged for the replacement (if you don't want it that is).

  Cineworld cinema 3d film tickets are £2.61 cheaper for students, and regular films are £2.06 cheaper too. Me the Mrs save a fortune. The NUS card pays for itself.
