Does anyone know how to get a .ac.uk email address for student discount?

Hiya,
Any tech heads out there know how to get a .ac.uk email address, hopefully for free? the hope is that i can use this email to redeem student discounts, i know its a bit of a long shot lol

Thanks anyway

Apart from working in an education establishment I can't think of another way

@katykicker and myself got our NUS cards by signing up to a free online course

did the free online course give you an email address ?

Nope, it was an online university that was selectable from a drop down box on the NUS website

What deals do you think you are being locked out of by not having a .ac.uk address?

6 month free trial with amazon prime and unidays.. and a few other random discount websites

Well you can get student price (50% off) Amazon prime which you CAN get with an NUS card which you don't need a .ac.uk address for

Just used my NUS card yesterday. Half price discount in one place and 20% off in another. NICE.
