Discounts for teachers are sought after for good reason. Teaching is a tough, important, and often thankless job. And with so many out-of-pocket costs for supplies and resources, even small savings can feel crucial. We've rounded up a list of exclusive discounts that educators can snag with their teacher credentials—so you can spend a little less time stressing out over full-price dry-erase markers and a little more time stressing about the kid who learned to swear over the summer. We thank you for your service.
Are you a parent or a student? You can usually score on discounts with a valid .edu email address as well. We've got a handy list of student deals, plus some roundups of Back to School Deals and Back to School Laptop Deals.
How to Qualify
Retailers and service providers use various authentication methods to verify whether someone is eligible for faculty discounts. The website SheerID verifies teacher status and has a huge list of offers available to teachers. The same is true for ID Me. If you're a homeschool teacher or a childcare provider, you may still be able to qualify for some of these deals and discounts. Check with the listed reward offerer for more information and details.
