Staff Discount cards - How much do you save?

The_Bargain_Hunters

I work for Boots and we get 12½% on non boots goods and 22½% on own goods our staff card has strict rules on its use but there are other perks to working at boots!

I work for the nhs and we were given a booklet with loads of places that will give you a discount on producing your ID card, Saved about £10 in Chester Zoo last year, can save in restaurants, cinemas, gyms, book shops and loads more. That is the only perk working for the nhs.

It's a darn shame because I do think HR could do a better job looking after nhs staff escpecialyl considering how many do work for the nhs. But that's a whole other story.

I work for the railway, and get free travel to and from work saving £60/month ish. Also get 10 free 48 hour travel periods per year, potentially saving up to £1000. Also get corporate membership at my local gym, saving £8/month. I even save between 25-75% on rail travel overseas. AND I get paid LOTS!!!!

I work for Midlands Co-operative Society in one of their supermarkets and I get:
10% off food (15% off at Christmas)
15% off non food excluding electricals (10%) - although rises to 20/25% twice a year on members days
Discounts on Funeral Services, Garage Services
Plus special staff services sometimes! - my mum got a stereo system worth 300 for just over 100 before Christmas!
Last year after the profits had been announced p/t employees got 50 pounds in MCS vouchers, and f/t 100 pounds in vouchers, but you had to be working there for at least a year, so I missed out . Hopefully if profits go up this year I'll get something!
