Bargain Moose

So one of my biggest pet peeves about owning an SPC card is I am a big online shopper, and you just can’t use your SPC card online! That is, until recently! Currently there are 2 online stores that are accepting your SPC card and will give you an online discount with it!

• Aldo Shoes – 10% off

• Spring Shoes – 10% off

To redeem online enter the letters “SPC” followed by your 14-digit SPC card number as a promotion code during checkout.

Also, if you live in the Toronto area you can get tickets at Dancap Productions for a reduced price (up to 50% off) and a lot of cool offers.

I really hope other companies catch on quick and allow for SPC discounts on their online stores as well.

What is an SPC Card you say? “SPC Card is your pass to exclusive student discounts and deals on fashion, shoes, accessories, sporting goods, restaurants and more.”

On average a SPC card holder gets 10 – 15% discounts at many retailers such as The Bay, Zellers, Atmosphere and more. It is easy to become an SPC card carrier, you just need to be a student (part time, 1 course, full time, etc) and have a student ID. A great idea to get your teens.

I have had an SPC card for the last year since I started university and it has saved me so much money! There is also an SPC app. you can get for your touch and iphone where you can quickly reference which places accept the SPC card. Its a marvellous money saver!

Something for the men. With SPC cards. The SPC card carrying men!

For all those weddings, parties, and dances your partner is going to drag you to in the near and hopefully distant future, here is a break for your piggy bank on the appropriate attire.

With your SPC and Student ID in hand (or maybe your partner’s SPC and student ID in hand) stalk off to Tip Top Tailors or George Richards this weekend and make her dreams of seeking you in something more than jeans and a T come true!

A note on a coinciding promotion: Tip Top Tailors currently is having a Suit Liquidation Event where all red tagged suits are 50% off and all spring and summer sportwear is BOGO. So this is a great time to buy!
