Things you can get student discounts on

I was scrolling through social media and saw an ad for Prime Student and I was like wait… have I been paying full price when I can get a discounted subscription fee?! That really inspired me to do some research and make a compilation of different things that we can get student discounts on! 

Without further ado, let’s save some money!

Prime Student 

As I mentioned above I was really interested in the Prime Student discount because I’ve grown to love Amazon Prime, especially Prime Video...dare I say it’s better than Netflix? With a Prime Student subscription you get free delivery, access to Prime Video, music streaming, and so much more. The awesome part is that you also get a 6-month free trial! After that, you pay $3.99/month (as opposed to the $7.99/month regular rate).

Spotify 

The whole reason I joined Spotify in the first place is because of the student discount! If you’re a new subscriber you get a 3-month free trial! After that, you pay $4.99/month (as opposed to the $9.99/month regular individual rate).

Apple Music 

Apple Music also offers a student discount which I took advantage of when I used Apple Music as well! If you’re also a new subscriber you get a 3 month free trial and access to Apple TV+ for a limited time! After that, you pay $4.99/month (as opposed to the $9.99/month regular individual rate).

SPC

This is my own personal reminder that I should get another SPC membership! An SPC membership requires a one-time payment of $10 and secures your access to student discounts at different retailers for the entire year. You can use your card at Indigo, Bath & Body Works, Pizza Pizza, and so much more!

Some advice…

My biggest takeaway from writing this article is that if you’re ever shopping for something, always make it a habit to check if there’s a student discount option before checking out! Looking back I could have saved so much just from doing a quick search beforehand. These are just some of the discounts that I found but I know for a fact that there are many more out there. I highly encourage you to do your own research and share any of your findings with your fellow peers and with us on @otstudentlife!
