You are now able to access a new Lifestyle Savings staff benefit from our partner Vivup. This new platform brings together all our payroll benefits, discounts and wellbeing services all in one place, so you can be easily signposted to the information and support you need.
This week you can find everything you need for a terrific term with big discounts from Currys PC World, Argos, John Lewis, Clarks, Footlocker, National Book Tokens and Asda in your Lifestyle Savings staff benefit! In the last couple of weeks of the school holidays you can discover amazing discounts at the UK’s best loved attractions from thrilling theme parks like Thorpe Park, Alton Towers and Chessington World of Adventures to money off at the movies with Vivup.
The majority of these are instant digital codes that make it easy for you use in store and online. The in-store discounts can be presented in store on a phone screen to be scanned at the checkout or simply printed. Always check the T&Cs.
