Cricut gives verified teachers an extra 15% off materials and accessories, plus discounted pricing on the machines themselves, from around $109 up to $599 depending on the model. Shipping is free. Verification runs through gocertify, a separate platform from ID.me and SheerID, which is worth knowing because it means your existing teacher verification somewhere else does not carry over automatically.
Cricut makes cutting machines that slice vinyl, cardstock, iron-on and other materials with a design app driving the cuts. Teachers use them for bulletin boards, name tags, labels and classroom decor rather than anything curriculum related, which is why the discount sits on materials and accessories as much as on the machine itself.
How To Get The Cricut Teacher Discount
- Go to Cricut’s teacher discount page and start verification.
- Verify through gocertify, providing documentation of your teaching employment as prompted.
- Shop at cricut.com once verified. The 15% applies to materials and accessories, and the reduced machine pricing is separate.
Two Different Discounts on One Page
Materials and accessories get the flat 15% off, which is where an ongoing classroom habit of buying vinyl, cardstock and iron-on sheets adds up over a school year.
Machines are priced separately, at reduced rates running roughly from $109 to $599 depending on the model. A machine purchase is a one-time cost rather than a recurring one, so the two discounts serve different moments: the machine discount matters once, the materials discount matters every time you restock.
Free shipping applies on top of both, which matters more on materials than it looks, since vinyl and cardstock orders are often heavier and bulkier than the price alone suggests.
Cricut sells several machine tiers, from smaller cutters aimed at simple projects up to machines built for heavier materials and larger classroom batches. The discount applies across the lineup rather than being limited to one model, so the right machine to buy depends on what you’re actually making, not on which one carries the biggest discount.
Q&A
Q: Is gocertify the same as ID.me?
A: No. It’s a separate verification platform. If you’ve already verified as a teacher at another retailer through ID.me or SheerID, that verification does not transfer here.
Q: Does the 15% apply to a new machine too?
A: Machines are covered by their own reduced pricing tier rather than the 15% materials rate. Both discounts are available through the same verified account.
Q: Is there a limit on how much I can order?
A: The page reached for this post did not state a purchase cap. Check the current terms before a very large order in case a limit has since been added.
Q: Do substitute teachers qualify?
A: The verification requirement is documentation of teaching employment through gocertify. The page did not specifically address substitute teachers, so verify directly to find out rather than assuming either way.
Other Places To Stock the Classroom
Cricut is one of eleven verified in our roundup of teacher discounts worth using this school year, alongside Michaels, which excludes craft technology machines including Cricut from its own teacher rate, so the two discounts don’t overlap.
