September 13, 2006, London: With the new academic year only weeks away, students across the UK will be delighted to hear that Amazon has joined forces with the National Union of Students to offer NUS Extra cardholders an extra 5% discount on the already low prices on millions of products at Amazon.co.uk.

From 1st September students will not just be able to use their discounts on all their essential new and used textbooks, but also on kitchenware, electronics, DVD's, music, video games and all home products across the extensive Amazon range. An added bonus for penny-pinching students, Amazon.co.uk also offers free UK delivery on orders of £15 or more .

To redeem their discount, NUS Extra cardholders need only log on to www.nusextra.co.uk to reveal their promotional code, then enter this code as a gift certificate when processing their order on Amazon.co.uk.

"With the spiraling costs students are having to contend with, we're delighted to offer NUS Extra card holders the opportunity to purchase the already low-priced products across the massive Amazon range at a discounted price," says Matt Henderson, Amazon.co.uk Senior Product Manager. "Students will be entitled to a 5% discount on everything from text books to cutlery, so with a couple of clicks students will have everything they need!"

"We're delighted to be working with Amazon as a key discount partner on NUS Extra," says Nick Emms, Marketing Manager NUS Services Ltd. "The vast range of goods offered by Amazon ensures that all students with an NUS Extra card, no matter what age, what course of study they're following or where they live, can save money on both the educational essentials and the more frivolous things."

When they've finished with their textbooks, albums or DVDs, students can also sell them through Amazon's Marketplace platform.
