NUS Extra partners such as CrossCountry Trains, PizzaExpress, Virgin Media and Johnsons’ Dry Cleaners have all joined Graduate Extra, along with new partners such as Austin Reed, Tie Rack, Prezzo and National Express, to name a few.
“I like the more 'tailored' discounts and benefits that I'm getting with the Graduate Extra - business clothing, CV & career support” (Graduate)
“As a mature student and single mother with student loans to repay, I need that 'extra' bit of help.” (Graduate)
Graduate Extra cardholders can also benefit from NUS Rewards, an exclusive cash back scheme for cardholders. NUS Rewards gives cash back every time you spend online on everyday essentials and life’s luxuries, and you can even get cash back when you pay your utility bills.
Laura added; “The Graduate Extra card also provides much more than just money saving discounts, there is also a wide link to organisations and services designed specifically to help graduates adjust to their new lifestyle after studying, something that our research showed what graduates really needed.”
“The worst feeling is the regular visits to the job centre. They are not set up to help graduates and frankly they are useless for what graduates need.” (Graduate)
Tax advice, help with a CV, career support, volunteering and gap year support is all available through Graduate Extra. There is also a free legal help line for advice on anything from a first employment contract to help with a difficult landlord.
Career support is available from specialist partners including Prospectus, Career Energy, LET’S Begin, Real World and Graduate Recruitment Bureau, with legal
support from Graduate Legal Help line.
