22 Student Discounts In 2024 If You’ve Spent Your Allowance On Labubu Blind Boxes

Student discounts 2024


3 things in life are certain: death, taxes, and your EZ-Link card’s unglam pic of you and your pearly whites. But if you put that aside, it also gives you access to many good deals and discounts. With the September holidays coming up, we have collated a list of the best student discounts in 2024 for you to splurge on.


Who is eligible for student discounts?


Obviously, you must be a current student in order to qualify for a student discount. For the most part, student discounts are only offered to those studying in ITE, junior college, polytechnic, and below. Some businesses draw the line at university level though, so if you’re unsure, you can contact them to check or read the terms and conditions beforehand.

To qualify, you’ll just have to flash your student card to show proof of your age and where you study, although some accept those who just show up in their school uniform.
