What is cash back

Cash back is a term you’ve probably heard before, but what does it really mean? Well, instead of an upfront discount we automatically give you money back after you shop with our partners. So you pay full price, but you get the savings back into your StudentUniverse account. That money is yours and you can take it out whenever. So, we give you the cash back.

Student Flights

We have student discounts on flights. Our student flights are cheaper because we verify that you're a student. The student airline programs from our airline partners give you better prices. Not only do students deserve a student discount, they deserve better terms. So before you buy airfares like your parents, make sure you know the difference. Student tickets are often more flexible, which makes it cheaper to change or cancel. Flights for students are not always cheaper, but you can only find them through student travel agencies—so make sure you compare before you buy. Sometimes you can even save more on student plane tickets with StudentUniverse promo codes (coupon codes), which will be sent to students that subscribe to our Student DealAlert. Student airfares are an important part of student tours, vacation packages and spring break packages.
