NUS Extra - quick question

apeZ · 9 Oct 2010 at 18:26

Anyone who has one of these cards, can you give me the dimensions for the photo on it? I thought it was meant to be passport-photo sized, but one of the student reps told me it has to be smaller and I'm not sure exactly what size they want.

The photo you upload should be:

* A high quality JPG
* A close likeness of you
* Sharp focus and clear

* Not too close or far away
* No larger than 1mb in file size
* No larger than 640(h) x 400(w) pixels.

Is there any real benefit to getting an NUS Extra card?

I think you get extra discounts with it

Very much so. The forest place has a 5% NUS extra discount.

Thanks, but I'm not uploading one. The uni asked me to bring one in, as they print it directly onto the card or something. I'm not entirely sure. 'Up to 640 x 400' doesn't help me in this case!

That 5% discount alone is my main reason for getting it.

I haven't been able to successfully use mine online yet apart from the forest place..

Burtons failed and so did another clothes shop.. Burtons asks for a 15 digit number but the card number is morel ike 18.
5% isn't great though

Compared to other things such as 20% on clothes and apples discount
