Laptop student discounts

Laptops are where a student offer saves the most dollars, and three of the stores above sell their own.

  • Apple. The Education Store sells at Education Pricing to college students, students accepted into college and parents buying for them, as well as school staff. Apple caps how much you can buy each year: one desktop, one Mac mini, one MacBook, one display, two iPads, one Apple Watch and two accessories. Apple Card Monthly Installments also work on the Education Store.
  • Microsoft Store. Select Surface devices, student laptops and PC accessories get the 10% student discount. Microsoft excludes digital games, apps, subscriptions, movies, gift cards and some other items, and says the discount may not combine with other offers.
  • Samsung. The Education Offer Program covers students and educators. You unlock it by creating a Samsung Account with a .edu email or by verifying through ID.me. Samsung says its offer programs save up to 30%, and the education page lists extra percentage discounts on top of trade-in credit for some Galaxy devices.

HP also runs an education store; see the HP student discount page.

Clothing and shoes

Nike gives 10% off most items on Nike.com and in the Nike App after you verify through SheerID. Each code works once and expires two weeks after it is issued, and you can get a new code every seven days. The code covers the first $500 of a purchase and does not work in Nike stores, on Nike By You or on gift cards.

Memberships and streaming

  • Amazon. Prime for Young Adults costs $7.49 a month or $69 a year for 18 to 24 year olds, and eligible new members get six months for $0. More on the Amazon student discount page.
  • Spotify. Premium Student is free for one month, then $6.99 a month, against $12.99 for regular Premium, and the US offer currently includes Hulu (With Ads). Spotify keeps the plan for up to 12 months before you must verify again.

Tips before you sign up

  1. Have your proof ready. Samsung takes a .edu email, Nike and Spotify verify through SheerID, and Samsung also accepts ID.me.
  2. Read the excluded products list. Gift cards and special editions are often left out.
  3. Compare the student price with a sale price. A store sale can beat a fixed student discount, and most student codes do not stack with other promo codes.
