Razer takes 15% off peripherals, gear, apparel and accessories, 10% off PC components, and 5% off gaming chairs and Razer laptops for teachers through its Education Purchase Program. Razer’s wording is “employed teacher” at an eligible university, college, technical school or high school, so it doesn’t name elementary or middle school teachers. The page lists the United States and Canada among the participating countries, and the pricing works on your own country’s razer.com page and at physical RazerStores.
If a Razer Blade laptop, a peripheral or a gaming chair has been sitting in your cart, this is how the education pricing works and where it stops, so you know what you’re getting before you register.
How To Get The Razer Teacher Discount
Start on Razer’s Education Purchase Program page. Razer says you need to be a current student, employed teacher, or employed staff of an eligible university, college, technical school, or high school in the participating countries, and that you register an account with a valid education email address. A Razer ID registered with an education email automatically reflects the discounted pricing.
You don’t enter a coupon code. Razer says the special pricing is already applied to applicable products after you’ve signed in or registered with your education email address. Use that email for your Razer ID, because Razer says that if you use a different email address you won’t receive the program pricing or benefits.
In a physical RazerStore, the page says to present your education email address or verification card to the store staff.
Who Counts As A Teacher
The page says the program is applicable to students, parents buying on behalf of students, teachers and staff. For teachers and staff, the test is being employed at an eligible university, college, technical school or high school. In our read of the page, those are the school types it names, and it doesn’t mention elementary or middle school, so if you teach younger grades you’ll want to ask first. Razer says that if you’re unsure your institution is eligible, you can submit a request by email, and that requests are subject to approval at its discretion.
What The Rates Cover
The page lists 15% off Razer peripherals, gear and apparel, and accessories, 10% off PC components, 5% off gaming chairs and 5% off laptops. Its headline names Razer Blade laptops, peripherals and gaming chairs. The special pricing applies only to selected products and only to purchases made on the razer.com page of your specified country, and Razer says it won’t ship to an address outside the country you’re residing in.
The exclusions are specific. Razer names product lines that aren’t eligible, among them Razer Gift Cards, Razer Replacement Parts, Razer Bundles and refurbished products. It adds that newly launched products and select premium-tier models, including certain Pro variants, may not be eligible, and that other exclusions apply, which it points to its promotions terms page for.
The Limits Worth Knowing Before You Order
You can buy up to 2 units of the same item within one calendar month. The education discount can’t be combined with other promotions and offers, including product bundles, gift with purchase and products with ongoing promotions, and the FAQ says promo codes can’t be stacked on top of other promotions. So if an item is already on a promotion, don’t expect the education price on top of it.
It’s also a personal-purchase program. Razer says the discounts and promotions are non-transferable and that you aren’t permitted to make purchases under the program on behalf of any other person, and that it can refuse or cancel an order if it suspects you are. You also can’t buy for resale. If you were planning to use it for a gift for someone else, that line is the one to read first.
Razer’s page says the higher rates are available only for a limited stretch and gives no end date. It also says all information and terms of the program are subject to change at any time without prior notice. In our read of the page, it has no Black Friday, Cyber Monday or holiday terms for education pricing, so the rates above are the standing ones it shows.
What We Couldn’t Confirm
We didn’t register a Razer ID or place an order, so we haven’t seen the education price on a specific product. The page doesn’t give an end date for the rates. It says the program covers parents buying on behalf of students, and it also says you can’t make purchases on behalf of any other person, and it doesn’t explain how the two fit together. We also can’t tell you whether an elementary or middle school teacher would be approved, since the page leaves that to an email request.
