Is Totum+ Worth It?

Hey everyone,

I signed up for a Totum account and was debating whether to sign up for a Totum+ membership. If you have experience with the membership level, would you say it is worth paying for?

Hi @iive, unfortunately I have never used Totum+ but I can speak on using student discount offers in general and taking advantage of them.

I’ve been a student for over 5 years and personally I use free discounts a lot for things like memberships (Spotify), occasional online shopping and eating out. However these are not very often as I am on a student budget. It does come in handy around Christmas and people’s birthday though.

I think it depends on your own lifestyle really to see if it is useful or not, such as do you eat out a lot? Or go shopping frequently? Does totum offer discounts at the kind of places you like to go?

Hopefully this helps but you can always wait to see someone’s first hand experience as well.

Thank you for the advice Vee!

In the end, I decided against it since I already have Student Beans & Unidays (for free as well) and from some of the reviews online, it seems like Totum+ isn't really worth paying for at least for now

That's been my personal experience as well, it doesn't seem very necessary to get it. You could ask around a bit when university starts to see how popular/useful it is.

So do you still get the student discounts when having TOTUM + ?
