student privilege card -- research

thousandisland SG

hello everyone! my friends and i have an idea though it's pretty stale and over-used. bascially there's a student privilege card in our sch (smu) and as per normal privilege cards they have tie-ups with different merchants and all.

We are thinking of creating a student card for students, targetting upper sec students to tertiary students (age from 15-24) just that it's not instituition or merchant specific.

therefore will appreciate if you all can provide me some feedback, be it whether you are currently a student or not! =)

1) If there's a student privilege card that will provide you discounts/rebates for f&b (cafes, fast food joints, pubs, clubs), entertainment (movies, arcades, theme parks), cultural & learning (self improvement, dance, music, arts, drama, financial literacy), wellness (mani/pedi-cure, spa, facial, skincare, fitness, nutritional supplements) all under one card. Will you be interested? If yes, how much are you willing to pay per annum?

2) If no, what will actually entice you to purchase this card?

Will appreciate any honest feedback! Thanks for your time people.

1) That depends on how many merchants that are willing to participate for this card. Another point is the amount of rebates/discounts given

No point I say for $x, when the card has few merchants or that discount given is pathetic or limited to alot of restrictions.

But if you guys are doing on paper for some stupid project sake ... hmm $30 ~ $40 (of course the cheaper the better)

thanks for the feedback so far. if taking into account debit cards (esp uob, citibank) that can function as ezlink, debit and atm card. what can possibly deter you from choosing the debit or encourage you to use this student privilege card?
