Whether you’re a freshman or in your last year of graduate school, you can take advantage of retailers’ student discounts to save big bucks. Learn how to get discounts on activewear from Gymshark, accessories and apparel from Express and Cole Haan, and food delivery from Grubhub. During this back-to-school season, we’re going to teach you a lesson on how to shop smarter.
How do I sign up for student discounts?
While scoring deals on books, technology, and supplies may be at the top of your list, don’t forget to use your savings on some of the fun things, too. Retailers everywhere have paired up with third-party services to ensure you save on every purchase before, during, and after the school year.
The most popular of the third-party discount services are UNiDAYS and Student Beans. To start your student saving journey, you first have to verify your student status with one or both of these services. To do this, register on UNiDAYS’ and Student Beans’ websites for free. After you provide a valid student ID or .edu email address, you can start browsing all the stores that offer student discounts.
When you’ve finished shopping at a participating retailer, and you’re ready to check out, select the retailer on the UNiDAYS or Student Beans website. When you do, you’ll receive an email with a personalized student discount code. Copy and paste the code during checkout to apply your student discount. It pays to go through a few extra steps to save!

Staying active in school can be both challenging when you’re busy. But, having an outlet that allows you to focus on something other than school is a great way to recharge and blow off steam.

Because of this, finding a Gymshark discount code can make a huge difference in your total cost. With a valid Student Beans account, you can shop all Gymshark activewear and get 20% off sitewide.
