Have you used your student ID card lately?

No, not to enjoy free In-N-Out at the Student Welcome Back Day on campus, but to enjoy rewards outside of campus.

If you don’t normally carry your student ID card with you, make sure to make it a habit from now onwards as there hasn’t been a better time to be a student.

We are all aware of the fact that students can purchase discounted movie tickets and now Knott’s tickets too at the Student Activities Center, but students can enjoy similar deals at other places too by the power of their student ID card. 

Many companies attract students by offering special student discounts and back-to-school promotions.

Apple computer tops the list with their year-round student discounts and their back-to-school promotion.

A special education discount is available on macbooks, iMac and Apple software.

Students can score a free iPod touch too through the ongoing back-to-school promotion.

Your student ID card can also get you a new hairdo at a special price.

Head back to school in style by visiting any Regis salon Monday through Thursday and get a 20 percent discount with your student ID card.

And speaking of style, Charlotte Russe is now offering 10 percent off during the back-to-school season if you present your student ID card.

Are you listening, girls?

There are a lot of other places out there that offer student discounts, such as movie theaters and local restaurants.

Just make sure to ask and keep your student ID card handy.

We all need to be careful with our money in this time of financial crisis, but that doesn’t mean that one should stop spending money on fun and entertainment.

The discounts your student ID card gets you may be small, but they add up to significant savings. Who knew being a student was this sweet?
