Student Price Card (SPC Card) launches this week in Illinois

CHICAGO, Aug. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Student Price Card (SPC Card) will be bringing its unique savings card to students in Illinois starting August 20th. The program, which operates on an instant reward module, is a low-cost way for students to save while shopping at the stores they love.

In today's economy students are looking for more ways to save without having to give up their shopping habits. The Student Price Card (SPC Card) is one simple card which entitles students a discount, usually 10-15%, at stores that participate in the program. It eliminates the need for being a part of a different loyalty plan for each retailer, and provides instant benefits. Students simply show the card and get the discount.

Student Price Card (SPC Card) partners with popular retailers to provide discounts that are beneficial to students. Fifteen retailers have joined for the Illinois program including XXI Forever, aerie, American Eagle Outfitters, Banana Republic, Body Shop, Forever 21, G by GUESS, Gap, Heritage 1981, Manchu WOK, New York & Company, Skechers, Pizza Hut, Motel 6 and Choice Hotels.

"The Student Price Card is one of the best ideas that I have found that gives the student a reason to not only shop, but to shop where they feel appreciated and are given an instant reward for their business," noted James Dion, a retail industry expert and consultant at Dionco Inc. "Many stores have loyalty and reward programs, but only Student Price Card is able to work across all the needs of a student shopper. They can replace numerous cards and schemes with one simple, low cost card that gets them what they need when they need it. All in all, a win for the student and a big win for the stores who capture their business."

The card runs in line with the school year, from August 1 each year until July 31 of the following year, allowing students to take advantage of it from Back-to-School straight through until summer holidays.
