LEGO doesn’t give teachers a discount on its own, but you can get 5% back on most orders through Rakuten right now. TopCashback pays 3% and Fluz pays 1.5%, so Rakuten is the one to start with. LEGO does have a teacher listing through Student Beans, and all it gives you is free shipping on orders above $35, which every LEGO shopper already gets.
Say you’re picking up a few sets for the STEM corner, or your own kids’ holiday list is already long. A set doesn’t get cheaper with the teacher listing, so the saving worth setting up is the cash back site you click through on the way in.
How To Get The LEGO Teacher Discount
There isn’t a teacher code or a teacher price at LEGO. Here’s how to get cash back on your order:
- Sign up for a free Rakuten account if you don’t have one.
- Click through to LEGO from Rakuten and shop on the LEGO US site. Orders placed through other countries’ LEGO sites don’t earn cash back.
- Check out. Rakuten pays 5% on most items and 3% on exclusives and hard to find items.
Rakuten doesn’t pay cash back on LEGOLAND tickets, BrickLink items, gift cards, or the part of an order you pay for with Insiders Points or a gift card. 5% is a boosted rate, since Rakuten’s regular LEGO rate was 2.5%, so look at the number on the page before you pay. If your cash back doesn’t show up, report it to Rakuten within 90 days of the order.
The Student Beans Teacher Listing
The footer on LEGO’s offers page has a link called Student & exclusive offers. It goes to Student Beans, where there’s a listing titled “LEGO discount code for teacher”. The offer is free shipping with orders above $35. LEGO gives free shipping over $35 to everyone, so a teacher who verifies gets nothing extra. ID.me doesn’t list a LEGO teacher discount either.
TopCashback And Fluz
TopCashback pays 3% of the price back at LEGO, and it’s the better pick if Rakuten’s boosted 5% goes away. Start your order with an empty cart, because TopCashback only pays on all products when the cart is empty when you click through. Cash back is figured on the item price, not taxes, shipping or other fees, and it doesn’t apply to gift certificates, BrickMaster subscriptions or Legoland tickets. It also doesn’t apply if you use a coupon code that isn’t shown on TopCashback. A set you send back won’t earn anything, and if a purchase doesn’t track, you have 100 days to file a missing cash back claim.
Fluz pays 1.5% at LEGO when you buy with a Fluz virtual card. That’s the lowest of the three, so it only makes sense if you already use Fluz.
Buying For A Classroom
If you’re buying LEGO for your school and not for your own house, LEGO sends educators to LEGO Education for classroom packs, professional development and help choosing a solution. On LEGO Education’s site, the way to ask about pricing for your school or district is the Request a meeting button. There’s also a Grants & Funding page if you’re trying to get a classroom set paid for.
