I go to
college. Sometimes. I live in
Chicago. I used those two factors when acquiring my
Student Advantage card. What it does is provide me with many
benefits that result from being a
student and living in
Chicago. Allow me to share some of the
discounts and all out benefits I have received during my first two years of using the card:
The only real bad thing about the card is that you have to be in a somewhat
populated area or
college town for it to really be of any
worth.
There are a few ways to get a
Student Advantage card. You can buy one for
$22 (at least it used to be), or get an
AT&T version that doubles as a
calling card and pay
nothing. I did the
latter, crossed out the
PIN on the card with lots of very
permanent marker, and I
rule.
So yeah. I'm
cheap as fuck because
I'm poor, so I
utilize the
power of this card as often as possible. If you're a student, I suggest doing the same. Be sure not to pay for it though...
free discounts rule. Besides, you're paying enough for
school anyway.
