The educator discount offers teachers and students an effective way to save on school supplies, technology, clothing and more. Available at various online and in-store retailers alike, teachers can combine sales promotions with their educator discount for maximum savings. In order to qualify, shoppers typically need a valid student or teacher ID card or proof of employment; some retailer programs may require enrollment, verification or membership before qualifying.
Teachers can find discounts throughout the year at many stores and locations, such as Costco with its $20 Teacher card for new members and weekly classroom supplies discounts, Barnes and Noble with its free Educator Discount program which gives 20% off classroom purchases as well as special savings during educator events, Books-A-Million with their BAM Educator’s Cart which earns 20% off in-store purchases, Half Price Books who offers 10% discounts for educators on all purchases, among many more!
As well as offering educator discounts, many stores also provide other deals tailored to individual teachers depending on your location. Target provides teachers with a coupon they can use all year long for additional savings on clothing and supplies while Ugg provides first responders, military members and medical professionals a discount as part of its Community Heroes initiative. Furthermore, numerous retailers provide mobile apps which let educators stay abreast of promotions in store as well as any online-only discounts.
