How useful are these discount cards? I was recommended the VIP Backpacker card by STA over other discount cards that were available and I'm struggling to make it work out. Hostel sites seem to be priced pretty much exactly the same on the VIPBackpackers site as on other sites such as Hostelbookers... has anybody found any genuinely excellent deals with these things? They can be used for trips, tours, transport and hostels so there has to be a way to get back the £12 (varies depending on card) fee?Wednesday, August 13, 2008
anybody interested in discounts?

Hey, it's "The Lone Ranger" Speaking from New York City!
I have the international student card currently on my travels. I've been in NYC for four or so days and I've used it once to discount the entry fee ticket into the National History Museum by central park. It reduced the price of the ticket from $15 to $11 and my ticket was basic, not including the additional shows that are currently available.
The cinema didn't accept the card nor give discount.
Check out how many things you plan on doing will offer you discount before you get it, in my opinion, as I've not had many opportunities to use it yet and I've done all of the major attractions and I overuse the subway :)
