We're always looking for new ways to help you save — and this one's a big deal. Student Beans has launched its very own Gift Card offering, giving you access to discounted gift cards from some of your favourite brands, all through the Student Beans app and website.
Whether your go-to brand offers a direct student discount or not, Gift Cards open up a whole new way to save. Here's the latest:
What are Student Beans Gift Cards?
Student Beans Gift Cards are discounted digital gift cards, available through the Student Beans website and app. They're powered by our gift card provider and work simply: buy a gift card for less than its face value, and spend the full amount with the brand.
Think of it as getting more for your money, instantly — and unlike a promo code, a gift card is yours to use whenever you're ready.
How it works:
Pick your brand: browse the Student Beans app or website and look out for Gift Card offers on your favourite brand pages. Brands like Argos, Asda, Caffe Nero, Mango, Nando's, and many more are just a few you might spot with this offering
Select your amount: choose how much you want to load onto the card, for example, a £50 card
Pay the discounted price: you'll pay less than the face value. So if there's a 10% discount, you'd pay £45 for a £50 card — instant saving, no voucher code needed.
Receive and spend: your digital gift card is delivered instantly to your inbox, ready to use online or in-store just like cash
Why is this a big deal for students?
Not every brand has a direct student discount — but that doesn't mean you can't save with them. Gift Cards fill that gap, letting you unlock savings on brands that aren't part of the usual student discount programme.
The range is seriously impressive too. From everyday essentials to treats and experiences, there's something for everyone — think Starbucks, Netflix, Spotify, Primark and many more. The selection continues to grow, so it's worth checking back regularly.
Key benefits at a glance:
Pay less, spend more: buy gift cards below face value
Instant and digital: delivered straight to you, ready to use
Stack your savings: combine with other discounts where possible
Lock in offers for later: great for big upcoming spends
Not just for gifting: perfect for your own regular shops too
