Stack your savings and make your money go further
One of the biggest benefits of SUBTV Perks is the potential to save on top of existing discounts.
Shopping a sale? You may be able to combine an eligible discounted gift card from SUBTV Perks with the sale price and even an additional promo code.
That means more savings on purchases you were already planning to make.
Retailer terms and exclusions apply, so always check the conditions before buying your gift card.
The rule to remember? Check Perks before you spend.
More ways to earn with SUBTV Perks
October wasn't just about discounts. We also saw students putting their £5 Perks credit from our September campus activations to use.
We announced the winners of our £250 Freshers giveaway and continued spreading the word about another way to earn: referring friends.
Refer a friend and earn £5!
Got a flatmate, coursemate or society friend who hasn't joined SUBTV yet?
Invite them to sign up and you'll earn £5 in Perks credit when they make their first qualifying purchase.
There's no limit to how many friends you can refer, so the more friends you introduce, the more you could earn.
New SUBTV screens across UK campuses
October also brought some exciting developments to our campus network.
We welcomed University for the Creative Arts (UCA) Farnham to SUBTV, introduced a new video wall at SWALE Cardiff and completed an upgrade at Swansea University.
Over at the University of Gloucestershire, a new SUBTV installation was added to complement the university's new refectory, while the University of Bradford received a fresh installation in its Students' Union gym.
These updates mean even more opportunities for students to discover content, campus news, entertainment and the latest Perks offers while going about their university day.
Coming up: Black Friday, Christmas and more savings
November is here, which means Black Friday, Cyber Monday and the countdown to Christmas are officially on the horizon.
Planning to shop the sales? Check SUBTV Perks first. Eligible discounted gift cards could help you save even more on items already reduced for Black Friday.
Christmas shopping, food shops and everyday essentials are all worth checking too.
And don't forget, SUBTV Perks isn't just for campus. Your account and access to available offers go wherever you go, so you can keep saving even when you're back home for the holidays.
More savings, more rewards and more opportunities to make your student budget go further.
Before you spend, check Perks!
