Are awesome.

I get 30% off wine (work for Total Wine) and my GF can get me 50% off all Under Armour merchandise (even clearance stuff).

What kinda discounts do you get, ATOT?

15% in Sprint and AT&T, 10% at many local restaurants, and many more, like on flowers and car rentals and stuff like that which noone really uses.

I work at a drafting company which I don't require services from and have no SO soooooooooo


Nothing. But my mother runs my hometown's newspaper so I get free papers and my family owns a school uniform store which I can get all merch at cost (slacks, dress shirts, fleece pullovers, etc)

lenovo discount....car discounts (those dumb s-plan or whatever companies call them)....some times the discounts are worthy, sometimes they are pathetic.

22% off my Verizon wireless bill
Corporate discount on my gym membership which saves me about 25%
Pre-tax wages may be used to pay for commuting expenses

The rest of the discounts for retailers, etc are generally equvalent to what I can get with bing cashback, fatwallet, ebates, etc.

This just came through this week actually...



In the market for a new vehicle?

Effective March 1, 2010, Company XYZ has implemented an employee discount program with Audi. Please visit the Intranet at: www.internalcompanyintranet.com for details regarding this nationwide discount program through Audi.

We got some other stuff also like auto and home insurance through Liberty Mutual Insurance at a discount amongst other various discounts that most people don't know or care about in the company.

One of my network/telecom employers is a flooring company, so I get deep discounts on retail and also free leftovers from large commercial jobs. I have not taken advantage of that yet, but we will be tiling our master bath soon.
Another employer is a commercial construction company, and I get to use the company "tools" whenever I want. We cleared our beach property last week and I used the excavator, dump truck, trailer for several days.

I get about 20% off rental cars. I'm also allowed to wash my own car an unlimited number of times using their equipment.

Nope. My employer "makes" drivers licenses and I still have to pay for the test and the renewal.

No discounts, but they pay for my cell phone ($100 per month). I get lots of perks, which I prefer to discounts anyway.

Others:
-Lunch twice a month from variety of nice local places ($15 entre usually)
-All the snacks/soda/drinks I want
-Massage on Fridays, which I rarely do cause I leave early, but its nice

Those are in addition to all the standard benefits. I don't pay anything for medical/dental. They give us $2500 per year for an HSA that pays for anything that isn't covered.
