Unlock exclusive student savings at Waterstones.
Waterstones offers students a rewarding way to save through its Plus Student program, which provides 5% back in Plus Balance on eligible purchases. Students can use the benefit when shopping for books, gifts, stationery, and other eligible products through Waterstones online or in-store.
To claim the benefit, students need to join the Waterstones Plus Student program and verify their student status with a valid student ID. After verification, Waterstones sends an activation email containing a link to activate the account. Once activated, students can earn 5% back in Plus Balance on eligible purchases. The Plus Student membership remains active for 36 months before automatically changing to a standard Waterstones Plus account unless student status is renewed.
"Shop during special events and book sales to maximize your savings on bestsellers and gifts."
Waterstones Gift Cards are a great way to manage your book budget or enjoy gifts without spending extra. They can be redeemed on a wide range of books, stationery, and gifts both online and in-store.
