The Mercury News Student Discounts

Once you’ve added what you want to your bag and headed to online checkout, simply enter your discount code.
It varies between different retailers, but normally there will be a box titled Promo Code, Discount Code, Student Discount or Voucher Code on the checkout page, just before you put in and confirm your payment details. Once you’ve put in your code, the offer amount will be taken off the total price so you can see how much money you’re saving.
For a select few of our offers, there''s no code involved, you have exclusive access to the discount site without needing our student discount code at checkout. These include brands like Samsung or Apple, for example.
We also have some in-store offers, which require you to show your Student Beans Student ID to access.

Many of the brands we work with offer free or fast delivery. Simply check out the retailer’s site to check out what their delivery and returns policies are. ASOS, for example, offers a variety of delivery options - including ASOS Next Day Delivery, Standard Delivery, Nominated Day Delivery, Evening Next-Day, Click & Collect and ASOS Instant. ASOS Premier Delivery is an additional, paid option.

Typically, yes! But make sure you read the small print before putting any money down on the assumption that you can add our discount codes to a sales item.

Students, silly! Anyone over the age of 16 and in full-time education - including uni, college, sixth form and high school - can use
Student Beans. If you’re studying for an apprenticeship, you’re also eligible.
All you need to do is register and verify your student status in order to get access to thousands of free student discounts. You can sign up here.

Each brand we work with has their own rules regarding their discounts. This means that while some discount codes will work with all products, some codes only apply to selected products in the brand’s range. Simply check the Terms & Conditions to see where and when the discounts can be used.

We can all agree it’s pretty heartbreaking to get excited about a great deal, only to find it doesn’t work at checkout.
That’s why all of the discount codes you’ll find on Student Beans are hand tested by us regularly. We also check with our brand partners to make sure
our codes are working.

Sign up for free membership, emails and newsletters as these are the most likely ways you’ll be contacted about promotions, sales, discounts
and more! You might even unlock member-only product launches and early access to perks.
Check out the sales and discounts section. Often relatively new stock will be moved to make space as new stock comes in, meaning you can get more for less.
Use Buy now, pay later to spread out payments of your order during checkout. An instalment plan - like Afterpay, Klarna, or Affirm - will let you enjoy
interest-free payments without having to clear the entire amount at once.
