Get Unidays Instead

Really difficult to verify. sent my ID card in multiple times but still not activated. I have had an emails say my membership has been terminated as they have received multiple requests. The reason I sent multiple emails over as no one could be bothered to get back to me in a 2 week period. UNIDAYS is much better and actually offer customer support

Easy to Use and Actually Saves Money

Student Beans has been a great experience. The verification process was simple and quick, and I was able to access real discounts right away without any hassle. The site is easy to navigate, and the deals are clearly explained so there’s no confusion at checkout.

I appreciate how many well-known brands they partner with, and the discounts are actually meaningful, not just a few dollars off. Everything worked exactly as advertised.

If you’re a student and not using Student Beans yet, you’re definitely leaving money on the table.

I had a great experience with Student Beans support.

I would like to especially thank Joshua Torio for his professionalism, kindness, and efficiency. He personally assisted me with my student verification and made the whole process smooth and stress-free, despite my country not being officially supported at first.

Excellent customer service and truly supportive staff. Highly recommended!

I did manage to get a discount, but no better than anywhere else. Most of the “discounts” aren’t actually student offers and are just lists of random sales you can already get directly from retailers. They are all generic, and just trying to push us to click affiliate links.

Student Beans is awesome!

I reached out to have someone help me get verified. Within minutes, Joshua emailed me back and gave clear instructions that worked almost immediately. The way Student Beans handled this situation says a lot about the level of service they provide. I am glad to work with them and I appreciate their care!

Absolutely USELESS customer service and NO DISCOUNT!

Went on the 'Lego' website and saw a link to Student Beans. It promised a discount to the disabled. I sent sensitive documents to get verified, which I was. Clicked on a link to 'get my discount' at Lego, spent £220 and got NO discount!

After contactinng Student Beans, someone called 'Joshua Torio' replied. I now believe it is A.I. replying as no-one is that STUPID! Apart from the replies being days apart... I am kept being asked to state what company I was using and for me to screenshot the error. I have stated SEVERAL times now 'Lego', and that there is NO error... Just no discount? So 'Joshua Torio' replied again stating 'sorry for the confusion', 'Please screenshot the error'! 'Joshua Torio' seems to be STILL CONFUSED! I don't know how many ways/times I can state THERE IS NO ERROR, JUST NO DISCOUNT! As I mentioned, 'Joshua Torio' has to be A.I. because NO-ONE can be that STUPID and INCOMPETENT!

So I have uploaded sensitive documents to what could be a scam to STEAL data? I have wasted so much time replying to what is probably A.I.; That CANNOT understand BASIC English. I am now so stressed out and worried about the documents I uploaded! STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM!

RE: Reply...

If Joshua is a 'real member' of your team... How is it on several occasions 'Joshua' either ignored, or didn't read my messages (which I still have)? And why did they KEEP asking me (multiple times) to screenshot an error that wasn' there... when in all my messages I CLEARLY stated there was no error message? so either 'Joshua' is an A.I (they are all bad), or they are completely incompetent?

Hi Robert, We are sorry for the frustration this has caused. Please be rest assured that Joshua is a real member of our team, though it appears in this instance we clearly missed the mark in our communication with you.

We take data security very seriously; your documents are encrypted and safe. It sounds like there was a technical disconnect between the verification and the Lego checkout, and we want to fix this for you immediately. Please reach out to help@studentbeans.com, so we can escalate this specific case and ensure you get the discount you're entitled to.
