    similar to arcadia where you get a 'staff discount credit card' and the discount only comes off when you get your statement

    My son works in Sainsburys and I am named on his discount card. He is allowed one named person, either spouse or direct family member, to get his 10% discount. At Christmas and various other times of the year the discount rises to 15%, but that is offset by JS no longer issuing Xmas staff bonuses.
    My daughter and her bf get free admission and drinks in clubs where he teaches salsa. No great saving as they are both teetotal!
    "Cheap", "Fast", "Right" -- pick two.
  • Well my staff discount runs to 10% off list price of the goods manufactured and marketed by my company.... which meant that that last time I bought something I'd have been £120 worse off going for the staff deal than with my own nose..... not bad for an item that was under £300 list.
    There are 10 types of people in the world, those that understand binary and those that don't

    In many cases it helps if you say where you are - someone with local knowledge might be able to give local specifics rather than general advice

    we get free tickets to a number of tourist attractions, that we do work for.

    the best staff deals are in the travel industry, used to work for BA and BMI and had some wonderful trips for next to nothing
