One of the best perks about being a college student is the discounts available. You may or may not know, but numerous brands offer student discounts, with very simple ways to verify if you are a student. To access most discounts, you’ll need to log in to your student portal or show your BroncoID as proof! Below, you will find discounts you should take advantage of while you are enrolled at Cal Poly Pomona!

In order to get the adjusted student price, both Apple Music and Spotify require students to verify their university by logging into the school’s portal or by uploading proof of enrollment. Both platforms have you select the year you anticipate graduating, since both student bundles are only offered for a total of four years. After being verified, these subscriptions will be discounted by 50 percent! An individual subscription is normally $10 a month, so you’ll only pay $5 a month. Both streaming services also come with an additional perk: the Spotify student subscription comes with access to Hulu and Showtime, while Apple Music comes with Apple TV+.

As college students, many of us love the convenience of being able to order something and it be delivered within a day or two, and with Amazon Prime, this becomes a reality. When we need a book for a class or goggles for our bio lab ASAP, Amazon Prime comes in handy. Amazon offers students a free subscription for the first six months, then half off the subscription after that, with the option to easily cancel anytime. A normal Prime membership costs $15 a month, while the student price is $7.49 a month. Prime Delivery, Prime Video, Prime Music, Prime Reading, Amazon Photos, and other Prime Exclusives are all included in the student bundle.
4. AMC Movies
