I signed up for the ODE Cashback Card through the Discounts for Teachers website, which advertises the card as free. However, this turned out to be completely misleading.
During the sign-up process, I was hit with multiple hidden charges that were not made clear upfront:
£4.99 delivery fee for the physical card
£5 minimum top-up required just to activate the card
Then, after signing up, they claimed there was a problem processing my application and demanded an extra £5 “verification” fee for proof of ID and address.
And there's an annual fee of £2.99 after 1st year
Altogether, what was promoted as a “free cashback card” quickly turned into a series of unexpected charges. To make things worse, customer service was poor and unhelpful, offering no clear explanation or accountability.
I feel this is false advertising and dishonest practice, and I’ve requested a full refund and cancellation. Others should be aware before signing up — the ODE Cashback Card is not free, and the experience so far has been frustrating, misleading, and disappointing
Not free service as advertise. It cost £4.99 to join.
The site and its discounts aren't bad, but they are now heavily pushing the ODE cashback card which is supposed to be "completely free" to sign up for. However, when I applied through the DfT site ODE wanted to charge me an initial £4.99 'delivery and fulfillment fee', so I didn't bother. This hidden fee feels deceptive.
The discount code I downloaded would not work on the store website. I queued for 20 mins on the store website who eventually agreed that it should have worked, but could not help me further. They suggested I contact DFT but there was no obvious way to do so. A complete waste of time and very frustrating.

Discount for Teachers is fabulous as it has so many different companies included. I wanted to buy a birthday present and was delighted to find the gifts I wanted to buy came with a discount from two different shops! Thank you.

When I go shopping I ask the retailer and no one ever accepts it. But all take NHS Card. Online shopping the discount codes copy but never works at checkout

I have used many discount codes on this site, however, the one for not on the high street didn't work.
