Staff benefits update – 26 April 2017
26 Apr 2017
Another Bank Holiday is on the way and have you discovered what’s new with your staff discounts?
What’s new
Wider Wallet launched last week to run alongside the existing UniDiscounts we share to you. Wider Wallet is a private discount and benefits package, offering a wide range of better-than-public deals to help boost your spending power and maximise your leisure opportunities. These discounts will run alongside your existing range of UniDiscounts that we negotiate for you too – some of which have higher discounts for you than third party providers! You can access the secure registration code at:
Wider Wallet has a wide range of national and local offers including leading retailers such as Marks and Spencer and ASDA. With Wider Wallet you can access the popular credEcard. This is a prepaid Visa card which offers cashback when you shop at participating retailers (including ASDA). Instead of using a different discount card for each store, credEcard provides a convenient way of saving as you shop. You can simply load your card with funds at your convenience and then use it online, over the telephone, in-store and at ATM's worldwide, at anywhere displaying the Visa symbol. As it’s a prepaid card you can only spend what you have loaded and makes it perfect for budgeting - you can even give children an additional card for their allowance each month, or just for some emergency funds.
