Various store sell wraps for $5 with Access.

They're quite 'fulfilling'.

How much are access cards and where can I apply/purchase one?

Access cards are like discount cards.

You pay for a yearly (or two or even three-yearly if you like) card.

Every time you buy from a store that is somehow affiliated with the Sydney Uni Union, you get a bit of a discount ranging from 50c to more than a dollar.

It doesn't seem like much, but it pays for itself pretty quickly if you often purchase food/drinks/stationery from the uni.

Also, it allows you to join the societies and clubs if you like.

More info here:http://www.accessbenefits.com.au/

I think a yearly is about 100 dollars. Don't quite know about two or three yearly.

If you renew your membership over an existing one, it costs about 90 dollars.

visit the website in carrotsticks' post and you can pretty much find out all you need to know


pricewise, I'd say it's worth it , or at least somewhat necessary, because you can only join clubs and societies if you've got an access card
and you get free subscription to SMH every year, which is worth $40/year
and you get around 15%(varies depending on the store) discount on food and stuff

the cost is a bit over $70/year if you get a 3/4/5 year one
