Top 15 student discounts to take advantage of this fall

September 5, 2017 by Evan Rodriguez

College is a stressful time, money can be tight, and pressures abound. Thankfully, many companies go out of their way to try and attract the next generation of consumers. Below is a list of discounts we recommend you take advantage of.

 

Local Discounts 

Rosa’s: 10% off your order or a free bean and cheese burrito with a student ID. (I recommend the free bean and cheese burrito and 2 tortillas for $0.53)

McAlister’s Deli: Free gallon of sweet tea every Tuesday, no purchase or ID required. (!!)

Golden Chicken: The student special isn’t on the menu, but if you ask for it you will get four tenders, a side, roll, and drink for only $6.50.

Cinemark Abilene and XD: Discount night on Tuesday nights, only $5.50 a ticket.

Nikki’s Frozen Yogurt: 10% off your purchase with student ID.

 

Online Discounts

Amazon: Free 6 months of Amazon Prime with an .edu email. After six months, Prime is only $49 a year (normally $99 a year).

Spotify: Linking your account to an .edu email gets you a reduced rate of $4.99 a month.

The Wall Street Journal: College students can receive digital access to the WSJ for only $1 a week.

Adobe Creative Cloud: ACU students get free access to the Adobe Creative Cloud by visiting acu.edu/adobe-CC.

Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and Powerpoint) is free with your .edu email.

Apple: The Apple Store for Education offers discounts on all major products and can be taken advantage of online and in stores.

 

Clothing (outside of Abilene)

Banana Republic: 15% off your purchase with student ID, in stores only.

J Crew: 15% off your purchase with student ID, in stores only.

Madewell: 15% off your purchase with student ID, in stores only.
