So you’re not a student but you still want to make use of the loads of shopping benefits the Student Price Card (SPC) offers? Here’s the solution:

Subscribe to Lou Lou magazine for 1 year for $17.95 here and you’ll get an SPC VIP card. On this VIP card it says “Student ID Not Required VIP”.

Even for $17.95 (instead of $10 for the regular SPC) I still think this card is worth it. You’ll also get Lou Lou magazine which in my honest opinion is one of the more interesting and useful magazines out there. I think it’s much better than Roger Publishing’s other fashion magazine, Flare.

As promised, here’s a list of some of the national offers and benefits you get when you have a Canadian Student Price Card (SPC). You don’t really have to be a student to get an SPC card but I’ll explain that later in another post.

The SPC Card costs $8 + $2 shipping = $10.
But the good news is, you get a $10 guess gift card or $5 grey hound bucks (your choice) when you buy the SPC Card so it costs almost nothing.
