Living in a college town means your ID card can get you deductibles in all sorts of places. Like at the Price Wave Pool: Thursdays are student nights, and if you bring your ID card, you can get in for only $1.50 instead of the usual $4.
Little Caesars offers $.99 Crazy Bread for any student that presents an ID Card. Taco Time and KFC give 10 percent off your total bill. Decker’s Bicycle offers 10 percent discount depending on your bike and what needs to be fixed.
In the off chance that you have lost your card, you can get 10% at Cold Stone just by wearing something USU Eastern on Fridays, no card required.
Off-campus possibilities are great, but there’s no need to travel far to use the benefits of an ID card. It doubles as an on campus library card. It functions like a ticket at theatre events and sporting activities. It will let you order a meal, a side, and a drink for one swipe at the Golden Grille. And of course it works in the dining room.
So even if you think your picture is rotten, be sure to hold onto your ID card. It’s more important than you think.
