We've highlighted the top rewards programmes available for popular sites around campus!
It’s important to note that whilst rewards programmes are great and there are lots of incentives to spend out there, you should think carefully about your finances and how best to spend your money.
For help and advice on budgeting, our Money and Budgeting advisors are available throughout the year to support you with your finances, budgeting and debts.
Remember, lots of places do student discounts even without loyalty cards! Check out Save the Student for a more comprehensive list, including Domino's, Café Rouge, Franco Manca, GBK and more.

There are two types of people - some shop at Boots, others shop at Superdrug. As a nation we don't know why, it is just the way of the world.
Anyways, the Superdrug Health and Beautycard gives you exclusive access to lower prices and students and NHS staff get 10% off.
Waterstones Plus
For all you bookworms, the Waterstones Plus card is great for earning points and redeeming treats. Plus, students get 5% off on every purchase!
Eating out and saving at the same time!?
Nando’s Card
This is one of, if not the most popular restaurant rewards cards on the market. With the Nando's Card, every time you spend £7 or more you earn 'Chillis'. These Chillis then add up and qualify you for different levels of reward.
Greggs rewards
The nations favourite bakery just got even better. With The Greggs App, you earn rewards each time you purchase breakfast, pastries, sweet treats, drinks, sandwiches and bakes.
You'll get a free hot drink when you download the app, and a free hot drink and a sweat treat on your birthday! And when you collect nine stamps, you get your 10th item for free.
Costa Club
Getting that hit of caffeine in the morning can make all the difference. When you purchase a drink in store, you’ll be able to use your Costa Club card or app to scan whilst buying drinks.
You'll get one bean for each drink you purchase, and 10 beans result in one free drink, plus free cake on your birthday!
