Does Currys do student discount?
Currys does offer a student discount, but it isn’t offered all year round. Currys student discount tends to be available around the start of term time and offers up to 20% off. This will give students a great opportunity to buy all their school, college and university necessities like laptops, headphones, printers, kitchen appliances and more just before the new term starts.
Even though Currys doesn’t offer student discounts all year round, and there isn’t one currently available, there are still plenty of ways for students to save on orders. Just scroll down the homepage and browse the categories ‘Shop Deals’, ‘Our top deals’ and ‘Big brand deals’ for the latest and greatest Currys offers.
For students, we recommend the ASUS VivoBook X515JA 15.6" Laptop, which is discounted by £130, and currently costs £349. This ASUS laptop has a full HD screen, so perfect for watching TV and films. It also has a 10th gen Intel® Core™ i3 processor, so this laptop can easily handle your workload. Finally, its Intel® Optane™ memory means that it will load your applications really quickly, so you won't be sitting around twiddling your thumbs waiting!
Does Currys offer a price match?
Currys does indeed offer a Price Promise. If you find an item cheaper elsewhere, Currys will match the price. The Price Promise works against any UK retailer that you find a better offer at and you can request the price match both before and after you’ve made a purchase. This offer also works on discount codes!
If you find the cheaper price before you make your purchase, you can fill out an online form on the Currys website to request your price match. This can be found on the Price Promise page in the ‘Discuss a price match before you buy’ section. When filling out the form, make sure you provide the product code and a link to the competitor retailer product page. Currys will then send you a voucher for the price difference.
If you find the lower price after you’ve bought the product, you can still request the Price Promise. You have up to 7 days after the purchase to request a price match. You can start a live webchat with one of Currys excellent support staff, just make sure you have your receipt ready before you start your chat. You can find where to start your webchat on the Price Promise page in the ‘Already purchased? You can still price match’ section.
Currys Price Promise also works instore. If you find a better price before you buy, head into a Currys store and speak to a member of staff. If you find it after you’ve made an instore purchase, head back to Currys with your receipt and speak to a Currys team member.
Does Currys install appliances?

Can I spend Nectar points at Currys?
Nectar is the largest loyalty card scheme in the UK and there are loads of places you can collect and spend your points. With Currys, you can collect Nectar points on your orders but you can’t spend your points on Currys products. Currently, with Currys, you gain 1 Nectar point for every £1 spent, so if you’re buying some big appliances, you can bag a lot of points!
You can’t get points for orders made in a Currys store, it has to be for online purchases that either have home delivery, pay and collect or reserve and collect. You don’t get points for any additional delivery costs though, it’s just on the items you buy.
You may not be able to spend your Nectar points in Currys but if you use your Nectar Card when buying Currys products you’ll quickly gain lots of points to spend elsewhere, Nectar has teamed up with selected holiday and days out retailers, so you can spend those points towards a nice break if you want to.

The Currys Go Greener range
Over the past few years, more and more brands, companies and global organisations have made the pledge to go greener. Whether it's making the manufacturing process more sustainable or offering recycling services, many businesses are taking steps towards helping clean up the planet.
In an effort to go greener, Currys has created its own Green Tech range. The Green Tech range is full of technology and appliances that use less energy or water. While electricals do make up a lot of waste, we’re always going to need them so by buying products that are better for the environment, you’re helping make a change.
The Currys Green Tech range has the latest washing machines, tumble dryers, fridge freezers, hobs and ovens. All of the green washing machines and dryers are energy efficient and water-saving. Features or phrases to look out for are ‘eco’ and ‘cycles’. For example, on many machines, you can choose ‘eco’ mode which keeps the temperature down for a more eco-friendly wash and you can pick quicker wash cycles to save more water.
The brands included in the Green Tech collection are Aeg, Beko, Bosch, Candy, Grundig, Haier, Hoover, Hotpoint, Indesit, LG, Neff, Samsung and Siemens. By investing in a top quality product, it’ll typically last longer than cheaper alternatives so it will stay out of landfill for longer. If your item is past its best, you can sell it to Currys and they can reuse or recycle it for you.
Keep it cool
Ok, so it’s time to purchase a new fridge freezer, but where do you begin your search? There are a lot of options out there and it can be difficult to know where to look. Luckily the Currys website makes it easy to search with its fridge freezer section that has loads of filter options to make it feel effortless to find the best appliance for your requirements.
Currys supplies all the best and most well-known appliance brands, like Bosch, LG and Samsung, and if you’ve got your eyes on a specific brand for your fridge freezer, you can search ‘By Brand’.
Working within a budget? All good, you can search by price range! Currys also has a great feature next to the products pictures that inform you about which discount codes and offers are available on those specific appliances, making it really easy for you to find ways to save. There are other ways to search, like eco-friendly, height, width and colours. The customer rating feature is really useful as it gives you the opportunity to read comments from those who have already purchased an item.
For those working with a small budget, we recommend the Montpellier MS175DW 50/50 Fridge Freezer, which is currently £349.99 and rated 5 stars. Talk about getting a quality device for a great price!
Currys offers installation for fridge freezers and prices start from just £25. What’s even better is that Currys professional engineers can deliver your new appliance and install it the very same day!
