Staff Benefits update
25 Jul 2013
Graduations are now over for the academic year so we no longer have the sounds of the Dixie jazz band throughout the day outside the Learning Commons. They will be missed! But what has not stopped are all the benefits and discounts you can receive!
Many of you are using Perkz our third party online benefits scheme that works with the best retailers, both online and on the high street, to provide market-leading offers and discounts backed up by great service to employees of participating companies, and their families.
For those who have not registered as yet, not only can you save on one off deals you can save day to day on your household grocery bills with reloadable gift cards.
A gift card can make a great present for any friend, colleague or family member regardless of what the occasion is. With Perkz you can buy discounted gift cards that are available for a range of stores and leisure activities including:
- Argos – save 7%
- Cineworld – save 11%
- Debenhams – save 8.5%
- House of Fraser – save 9%
- iTunes – save 5%
You can use reloadable gift cards to save money on your weekly grocery shopping. You can save 5% with a Sainsbury card, so if you spend roughly £100 a week, you will save over £250 a year!
Marks and Spencer Gift Cards and e-Gift Cards can also be used just like cash at any Marks and Spencer store and online. So, the 6% you save on the reloading of your card is on top of other offers, which makes them perfect for using as a shopping card for you or as a present for others!
You can also save 5% on an Asda reloadable card and even betteryou can order as many cards as you like and only pay for postage once.
If you haven’t registered yet visit the Perkz discount page for more information on the full range of cards.
Visit the competitions section at Perkz prizes for details on how you could win prizes each month. This month exclusive to The University of Manchester you can win a £100 gift card for a Perkz sports retailer of your choice.
