Your Erasmus starts with using ESNcard!
The ESNcard is the membership card of the Erasmus Student Network. As we are one of the local sections of ESN, we offer the ESNcard to both international students and active local members. It’s not just another card in your pocket, it is very useful - you will have discounts with our partners such as Ryanair, FlixBus, Eurosender, Grammarly and many others!
Who uses the ESNcard?
The ESNcard is used by over 120.000 people per year in 40 countries, and the numbers are growing every year.
You can get the ESNcard, if you belong to one of the following groups:
- You are currently an international student (e.g Erasmus or any other exchange programme)
- You are a volunteer in ESN CU Prague. Other Czech students who are not members of ESN, are not entitled to get the ESNcard.
How can you get the ESNcard and how much does it cost?
You can buy the ESNcard personally in our office or online via the ESN App website. In case you choose the online option, register and pay in this event. You can pick it up in our office during Office Hours.
The ESNcard costs 400 CZK. Don’t forget you can get a 100 CZK discount on our weekend trips and for our welcome party!
KEEP IN MIND THAT IN ORDER TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR OUR DISCOUNTS, YOU NEED TO HAVE YOUR CARD ACTIVATED BY REGISTERING AT www.ESNcard.org. PLEASE MAKE SURE TO PURCHASE AND ACTIVATE IT AT LEAST ONE WEEK BEFORE THE EVENT REGISTRATION*. TO RECEIVE YOUR CARD NUMBER, FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW.
After you proceed with the payment, send an email to treasurer@esncuprague.cz to receive the ESNcard number. Please Include your:
- Full name
- Date of birth
- Nationality
- and a screenshot of your QR code from the ESN App (proof of payment)
* If you wish to get your trips or Welcome Party ticket with the 100 CZK discount online, you need to have your active ESNcard number added to your ESN App profile. However, you can get a discount even if you come to our office during the office hours and buy the ESNcard toghether with the Welcome Party ticket (no need to have your ESNcard active at that point). This does not apply for weekend trips, though.
What is next?
After you activate the ESNcard (can take up to 24 hours), add your card number in your ESN App profile and get all the discounts you want! Learn more about discounts here.
Please note that you need to be able to present your physical card to claim discounts/special offers. The ESNcard is valid for one year from the day you activate it.
Unfortunately, you cannot obtain the physical ESNcard before your arrival to Prague.
What is the ESNcard for?
The ESNcard is obligatory for participation in all trips organised by ESN CU Prague. Moreover, with the ESNcard, you will enjoy hundreds of discounts (housing, sport, food, bars, etc.) all over Europe. The aim of the ESNcard is to support and give opportunities to international students during and after their exchange.
