I bought the SPC card under the impression that it would procure discounts and pay itself off. However, my experience has been less than ideal.

In the past two weeks, I have been denied the discounts as written in the brochure set with the card, at multiple businesses, even when I show them the supposed discounts they said they would offer through SPC: including:

Teriyaki Experience

33 Heritage Meadows Way SE, Calgary AB

Spring Shoes

501 1 Ave S, Lethbridge, AB

American Eagle Outfitters

Chinook Centre, 655 Macleod Trail SW, Calgary, AB

Jacob

Chinook Centre, 6455 MacLeod Trail S.W. Calgary

I understand that different locations can set different standards for their discounts but to have been denied from all these locations seems like deceptive advertising to me. I even showed them the printed brochure at all these places and they all treated me like I was student-garbage.

Why bother going to these places if there is no real incentive, even with the card that’s supposedly tailored for students? Lies, very rude.
