Marie-Ange Neu from the European Youth Card Association Luxembourg was happy to answer our questions to shed light, and make us an instant cardie.

What is the Youth Card exactly?

In short, it means huge discounts and freebies to people between the ages 12-30. That is if you obtain it in Luxembourg – elsewhere the upper age limit can be 26.

The card was in a dormant mode for some time, but we are back and on fire. We now have over a 100 partners –and counting – ranging from cinemas, shops, cultural and sport venues.

You get our card, and you get the discounts from our partners. It’s that simple.

Sing me up, por favor. How does one do it?

We now have over 600 card owners in Luxembourg, and 7 million across 30 European countries. If you want to join us, simply go to our website [see the contact box!] fill in the form, download the app on your smartphone, and you’re good to go. You can then use your digital card in 38 countries to get your local discounts!

Can you tell us about the Luxembourg discounts?

If you like cinema, you can buy movie tickets to Kinepolis for 8.50€ if you use the voucher you can get on our website. You can also go swimming with 50% off in a few pools. At Tango you can get a 50% discount on prices if you buy a smartphone. Check our website for more details, there are many more discounts available.

Also, now before the summer, one might want to get the card for travelling purposes. By getting our card, you will automatically and without charges receive Europ Assistance for free. It is a travel insurance valid world wide. It’s all inclusive, it pays for all treatment, stolen luggages and even hotel fees for family members if one – god forbid – would need to stay in a hospital.

The Europ Assistance insurance alone makes it well worth getting the card.

Is there a price tag on getting the card?

Yes, a very small one. You pay 12€, and you get all its benefits. Plus, if you scan the QR code on this page, you can get it with a discount, for only 10€.

Who can get the card?

Within the age limit, anyone can get the card, but for the Luxembourgish one you need to be a resident of Luxembourg, or live in a 30km radius of the country. So, incoming students, wait until you relocate to Luxembourg, and then sign up for the card!

Should one have questions about the card, who can one contact?

Apart from getting in touch with us via our website or Instagram, everyone is welcome to contact me personally via my email address. By the way, I am also the one replying to Instagram messages. Feel free to hit me up with questions, I’m happy to help!

And so it happened, and Now Marie-Ange welcomes your questions, if any. Then, you can be cardy. Like us.
