I want some advice on this matter as I find it to be quite ridiculous.
You get a metcard from uni and they topped it £1500
However they put so many restrictions that you can't really use the money anywhere but the sites they provide
Getech is the only site they provide.
I understand that this is free money that you don't have to pay back and whatever I'm buying is not coming from my pocket but does that give the university (or metcard providers) to make us spend money inefficiently ?
For example, a macbook pro had a price of £1599 recently and £1699 on currys as well.
Now instead of buying the laptop from this retailers (and use money given to me more efficiently) I am forced to buy it from getech which sells it at a full price £1899.
Even apple sells their products at discounted prices for students.
Does anyone know if it's possible to get products such as the macbook at discounted priced through the metcard?
Thanks
