Did you know you can generate extra revenue from your digitial channels through affiliate marketing? 

Did you know your students’ union (SU) can earn additional revenue simply by promoting trusted deals through your digital channels?

As a member of NUS Charity, your SU can access centrally agreed affiliate schemes that bring value to your members while generating income for your organisation — all without the need to join separate affiliate platforms or negotiate directly with brands.

Currently, you can promote our partnership with MoneySuperMarket, offering competitive insurance deals to your student community. With average commission rates of £30-£35 per policy sold, this scheme provides a steady income stream by directing students to compare car and home insurance from over 160 providers. Income shares differ depending on membership status, with generous commission splits to support your SUs revenue.

In addition, we’ve recently launched two exciting affiliate schemes to help boostincome:

• CitizenCard: A nationally recognised proof-of-age and ID card, perfect for supporting students’ independence and access to social and legal services. Your SU earns 20% commission per sale, helping you generate income while enhancing student wellbeing.
• ISIC (International Student Identity Card): An internationally accepted student ID with thousands of discounts worldwide, ideal for both domestic and international students. Promote ISIC and earn 10% commission on each card sold.

We provide you with your own unique affiliate links, tailored marketing materials, and ongoing support to help you promote these offers across your SU website, email campaigns, and on-campus communications. Our team handles sales tracking, monthly commission reports, and invoicing to make the experience seamless and rewarding.

Additional to all the above, the new TOTUM commission scheme is now live and could help you earn extra pounds for your SU.
You’ll get 12% commission on every TOTUM+ sale through a unique referral link TOTUM will share with you. TOTUM provides free promo materials for Freshers/Welcome Week and digital assets to use all year-round.
Start earning from the 1st of each month, with monthly reports and payments.
Interested? Just register your details and request your referral link.
You can also join a short webinar to learn more - sign up can be found in the ‘register your details’ link above.  There’s also an image bank to help you promote the discount card across your channels.
