Student 10% Discount Fob
Pay with a Fob to save 10% on every purchase in campus cafes.
What is it?
Our Student 10% Discount Fob works by loading your Fob with your chosen amount of funds and using it as your payment method at the till, to receive 10% off every item every time. You can load your Fob with as little as £1.00 and top it up when it suits you throughout the year. Giving you the flexibility to spend what you want, when you want, whilst still saving money.
How can I get one?
You’ll be saving those pennies in no time as setting up your Student 10% Discount Fob is simple:
- Pick up a Fob from any campus café or accommodation reception. Please just ask a member of staff at the till or accommodation reception for one.
- Create an account. You’ll need to add your unique 12 digit Fob number, which can be found on the back of the Fob.
- Once you’re all set up, top your card up with your chosen amount of funds.
- Start using your Fob as a payment method at any campus café to save 10% on each purchase.
Why should I get one?
- A Student 10% Discount Fob will make your student loan go further, by saving 10% every time you make a purchase from a campus café.
- Pre-loading a Student 10% Discount Fob with your chosen amount of funds, will also mean that you’ll have one less thing to worry about whilst you're studying. As that’s all of your drinks, snacks and lunches sorted to fuel you through your study sessions.
- You can even give your parents/guardians access to your account, and they can top it up with funds for you too.
Where can I use it?
There are twelve cafés dotted all around campus, serving a range of hot and cold food, drinks and snacks. Your Student 10% Discount Fob can be used to purchase any item from any of these cafés.
Whether you fancy a barista coffee from The Grand, a hot meal from Courtyard or maybe a sweet treat from Urban, our campus cafés have got you covered.
How does it work?
The Student 10% Discount Fob becomes your payment method and can be used to purchase any food or drink item from our twelve campus cafes. When you get to the till, instead of paying using your bank card, you scan your Student 10% Discount Fob. The cost of your item (with the 10% discount applied) will then be deducted from the balance on your Debitrak account. And that's it!
