Uni acceptance letter or something.

If you want the Higher education discount, you need to prove you are at Uni, not that you are a student. The HE discount is a lot bigger than the Education discount.

I used the HE discount website (only available from campus computers) and I didn't need any proof or anything

Don't you have a matriculation card?

Do you get a HE discount in-store with just a student card?

Yeah you can, just ask them for higher education student discount and they go to the counter and get their folder out and look up your uni, just show them your uni card.

The HE discount is approx 14/15% , same as if you order by telephone or online.

What's the normal educational discount then if the HE is ~15%?

I think its about 7/8% for the regular education discount.

FreeStream · 2 Sep 2007 at 17:40

MBP = 16%
MP = 13%

Not sure on MB tho.. might be 15%...

IIRC.
