Open University Students: Accessing Unidays Benefits

Open University students can get Unidays, but they must have a personal institution email address or a credit card-style student ID issued directly by their institution to qualify for a Unidays account. Students must be over the age of 16 to qualify for a Unidays account. To register, students need to verify their student status by replying to an email sent to their institution email address. Unidays offers students great discounts, including 40% off UK services using express24 and express48 parcel services at Parcel Force, 30% off at Zizzi, Ed's Easy Diner, Pizza Express, and Giraffe, 15% off National Express journeys, and a 3-month free trial for Apple Music.

Open University students can get Unidays discounts

Unidays is a digital platform that provides exclusive student deals and benefits to over 29 million verified students. The sign-up is free and only requires your email address, verification of student status, and re-verification every 12 months to maintain access to the discounts. Unidays is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Unidays offers discounts on fashion, travel, food, and technology. For example, students can save 65% on Adobe Creative Cloud, 25% on Logitech, and 10% on Aerie.

In addition to Unidays, Open University students can also get discounts through TOTUM (formerly known as NUS Extra), Student Beans, and their OU email address.

Unidays is free to sign up for

Unidays is supported in the UK, US, Ireland, Denmark, Germany, New Zealand and Australia. It is the ideal platform for students to get discounts on everything from pizza delivery to train fares.

To sign up for Unidays, you will need to provide proof of your academic status. This can be done by uploading a photo ID card or other supporting documentation issued by your institution.

Unidays takes your online safety very seriously. When signing up, you will be prompted to choose a strong password. This is to ensure that your password has not been published publicly or included in past data breaches.

Students need to verify their status

To be eligible for a UNiDAYS account, students must be over the age of 16 and attending a college or university that provides them with a personal institution email address or a credit card-style student ID issued directly by their institution.

Students of the Open University can get a UNiDAYS account by using their OU email address. The Open University provides personal institution email addresses to all registered students through Microsoft Office 365. If you are unsure how to access your personal institution email address, you can find this information by following this link: https://help.open.ac.uk/help-with-signing-in-to-ou-systems.

Once you have registered with your academic email address, an email will be sent to that address, and you will need to verify your student status by replying.

If you are homeschooling, you must be able to provide UNiDAYS with either an institution portal login, an institution-issued personal email address, or an institution-issued student ID card. If you do not have access to these, UNiDAYS will be unable to continue with the verification process.

Some discounts require you to have an academic email address. You can find out how to get one in the next section.
