Claiming Just Eat vouchers, especially those offered through partnerships like Nationwide's FlexStudent account, can be a fantastic way to enjoy your favorite takeaways for less. But sometimes, navigating the process can feel a bit like trying to order a triple-layered pizza with extra toppings – exciting, but potentially a little complex if you don't know the steps! Fear not, food lovers! This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to know about claiming your Just Eat vouchers nationwide, ensuring you get your discount without a hitch.
The Delicious Details: Understanding Your Just Eat Vouchers
Before we dive into the step-by-step process, it's crucial to understand the type of voucher you have. Just Eat generally offers two main kinds:
- Discount Vouchers: These are usually specific codes that offer a percentage off (e.g., 10% off) or a fixed amount off (e.g., £5 off) your order. They are applied directly at checkout.
- Gift Cards / Account Credit: These vouchers add a monetary balance to your Just Eat account. This credit then acts like cash, allowing you to pay for all or part of your order. Nationwide's FlexStudent offer typically provides vouchers that function as account credit.
Knowing which type you have will help you follow the correct redemption steps!

Your Step-by-Step Guide to Claiming Just Eat Vouchers Nationwide
Let's get this delicious journey started!
Tip: Let the key ideas stand out.
Step 1: Discover Your Voucher's Origin and Code
- "Where did my voucher come from?" This is the most important first question. If your voucher is from a specific promotion, like the Nationwide FlexStudent offer, the redemption process might start with the partner's platform before you even get to Just Eat.
- For Nationwide FlexStudent vouchers: You should have received an email from Nationwide (e.g., from
noreply@justeat.nationwide.co.uk) within 14 calendar days of meeting the eligibility criteria (e.g., depositing £500 into your FlexStudent account). This email will contain a link to a voucher portal and a registration code. Do not delete this email! Check your spam/junk folder if you can't find it. - If it's a general Just Eat discount code you received (perhaps from an email promotion or a printed leaflet), then you'll likely have the code directly and can skip to Step 3.
- For Nationwide FlexStudent vouchers: You should have received an email from Nationwide (e.g., from
Step 2: Accessing the Nationwide Voucher Portal (If Applicable)
This step is specifically for Nationwide FlexStudent voucher holders. If you have a direct Just Eat discount code, jump to Step 3.
-
Sub-heading: Registering on the Portal
- Locate the email from Nationwide mentioned in Step 1.
- Click the link provided in the email to access the voucher portal.
- You will typically be prompted to register by providing your name, a valid email address, and the access code from your email.
- Important Note: You usually have a limited time (e.g., 30 days from the email date) to first access and register on the portal, otherwise you might lose your first voucher.
- Read and agree to the terms and conditions of the voucher portal (operated by a third-party provider like TLC Worldwide UK Limited for Nationwide).
-
Sub-heading: Claiming Your Monthly Vouchers
- Once registered, you can usually claim your first £10 voucher immediately.
- For subsequent vouchers (as part of the 12-month offer), you'll need to return to the portal each month. The new £10 voucher will be made available from the 1st of each month and is generally only valid for that specific calendar month. So, be sure to log in and claim it before the month ends!
- After claiming, the voucher code will likely be displayed on the portal and/or sent to you via email. Keep these codes safe!
Step 3: Getting Ready on Just Eat – Account Login is Key!
Whether you have a Nationwide voucher code or a general Just Eat discount code, the next crucial step is to prepare your Just Eat account.
- Sub-heading: Login or Create an Account
- Go to the official Just Eat website (
www.just-eat.co.uk) or open the Just Eat app on your mobile device. - Log in to your existing Just Eat account. This is incredibly important! If you use a guest account, any redeemed gift card credit might not be saved if you log out or switch devices.
- If you don't have a Just Eat account yet, create one. It's a quick and easy process, usually requiring just an email address and password.
- Go to the official Just Eat website (
Step 4: Redeeming Your Voucher or Gift Card on Just Eat
This step varies slightly depending on whether you have a discount voucher or a gift card/account credit.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
-
Sub-heading: Redeeming Just Eat Gift Cards / Account Credit (like Nationwide vouchers)
- On the Website:
- After logging in, navigate to your Account section. This is usually found by clicking on your name in the top-right corner of the homepage.
- Look for an option like "Redeem a Gift Card" or "Account Credit."
- Enter the gift card PIN or code that you obtained from the Nationwide voucher portal (or directly from your gift card).
- Click "Apply" or "Redeem." The value of the gift card should then be added to your Account Credit balance. You can usually see your current credit balance in your account settings.
- On the App:
- While you can't redeem gift cards directly on the app, once redeemed on the website, the credit will appear in your app's "Account Credit" section and be available for use. Therefore, for Nationwide vouchers, it's best to redeem them on the website first.
- On the Website:
-
Sub-heading: Applying a Just Eat Discount Voucher (e.g., 10% off codes)
- Start placing your order as usual – browse restaurants, add items to your basket.
- Proceed to the checkout page.
- On the payment screen, look for an option that says something like "I have a discount voucher," "Do you have a voucher or a coupon?," or "Add a voucher." The exact wording might vary slightly depending on whether you're using the website or app.
- Enter your voucher code into the designated box.
- Click "Apply" or "Redeem." You should see the discount immediately applied to your order total in the "Your Order" summary.
Step 5: Using Your Credit or Discount at Checkout
Now for the best part – enjoying your meal!
-
Sub-heading: Using Account Credit (redeemed gift cards)
- When you reach the payment page for your order, your available Account Credit will typically be listed as a payment option.
- Make sure this option is selected (it might be automatically ticked).
- If your account credit doesn't cover the full amount of your order, you can pay the remaining balance using another payment method (debit/credit card). Note: You usually cannot combine account credit with other discount vouchers or pay the remaining balance with cash.
- Any remaining balance from your account credit will stay in your account for future orders.
-
Sub-heading: Using Applied Discount Vouchers
- If you've successfully applied a discount voucher in Step 4, the reduced price will already be reflected in your order total.
- Simply choose your preferred payment method for the final discounted amount and complete your order.
- Important: Discount vouchers are usually for one-time use, and any unspent amount will not be carried over. So, try to use the full value if possible! Also, discount vouchers generally cannot be used in conjunction with other offers or account credit.
Step 6: Confirmation and Enjoyment!
- After successfully placing your order, you'll receive a confirmation email or in-app notification.
- All that's left to do is sit back, relax, and await your delicious delivery!
Important Considerations and Troubleshooting Tips
- Expiration Dates: Always check the expiry date of your vouchers. Nationwide FlexStudent vouchers, for example, often have a 30-day window to claim them from the portal, and then each monthly voucher has a specific calendar month validity. Gift cards typically expire one year from the purchase date.
- Terms and Conditions: Each voucher comes with its own set of terms and conditions. These can include minimum spend requirements, specific restaurant exclusions, or limitations on combining with other offers. Always read the fine print!
- Guest Accounts: As mentioned, avoid using guest accounts when redeeming gift cards or account credit. Always log in to your registered Just Eat account to ensure your credit is saved.
- Technical Glitches: Sometimes, technical issues can occur. If your voucher isn't applying or you get an error message (e.g., "code has already been used" when it hasn't), it might be a temporary system hold. Just Eat advises that codes can be reserved if a previous payment attempt failed. In such cases, the code usually resets within 20 minutes, but can take up to 24 hours.
- Contacting Support: If you've followed all the steps and are still experiencing issues, don't hesitate to contact Just Eat Customer Service or Nationwide (for their specific offer) for assistance. Have your voucher code and a brief explanation of the problem ready.
