Is there is any great benefit to getting a student ID? The best offer I can see is 50% off Sky Sport Now.
Any other great hacks people have used it for?

I am studying PT but I didnt even realised I quaified so I've applied for it. I would have thought a student id would be as 'cheapies' as it comes!

I'm just going from the way that Drcspy expressed themself above, but it sounds like they were suggesting getting a Student ID without being an actual student, or by signing up to some kind of free course just for the ID, which is, perhaps, a bit different.

Depends where you are at and what you do (e.g. arts / law / tech / other ). It feels like there are less benefits these days compared to 10 years ago.
I did tech degree at one point and used student ID / email address for lots of deals.
Amazon prime (when prices were favourable) + free/subsidised software were really useful. There used to be a great site where you could receive whole product suites (for free and non-eval) … but this was a while back now …
Samsung has an education store - deals seem reasonable (although better in past when stackable) and similar to EPP.
If you are tech I see github still runs a developer pack - https://education.github.com/pack

Don't you also get discounts on Apple store?

Yes although in theory anyone can get those as they never check

There's also this - a generalistic Student card, not one from your own Institution
Seems like there's a lot of discounts that can be had through that.

I've found YT premium is $13.99 with a student email instead of $22.99

I asked here about this a long time ago and got a bit of crap because people said it was bad to get a student ID just in order to access deals. Huh I thought this was 'cheapies' !
