To the best of my knowledge, Tandy per se does not.  In fact, it's
damned-nigh impossible to pry ANY kind of discount out of Tandy 
that's not part of one of their regular promotions!  Which is why
you have to be wary of Tandy price comparisons: they'll compare 
list price against list price and show that they're better.  What
they DON'T tell you is that EVERYBODY pays Tandy list price, while
nobody but a damned fool pays, say, IBM list price!

On the other hand, individual RS stores and computer centers MAY
decide to offer their own discount programs; I bought my Tandy 2000
(that's another story in itself...) in 1984 from the Harvard Square
store; at the time, they were offering 10% off to Hahvahd and MIT
students, but only that store.
