Anyone who works in the education sector – whether it be teachers, teaching assistants, university staff, cleaners, admin staff or even volunteers – can use the Discounts For Teachers promotion, which offers a whole range of discounts and offers.
The promotion, which is free to use, can get discounts of up to 60% in TX Maxx, and up to 50% on certain products from online retailer Amazon.
Hotel stays and holidays are also included, with Booking.com giving 15% off of some stays for those using the promotion.

The discount can also be applied at retailers such as Argos, BooHoo, Asda, JD and EE.
While the promotion is free to use, there is an optional paid-for Ode Card that allows users to earn cash-back on purchases at fifty different retailers.
It allows users to earn cash-back of 3% in Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, and 2.5% in Asda. In the M&S department store, users can get 3%, while in John Lewis they can get 5%.
This card is free for twelve months, then costs £2.99 a year.
Some education workers have spoken out about their savings, with one woman claiming to have saved over £100 on kitchen gadgets and even some money on her car’s MOT.
