IPSE Edenred Advantages changing to Perkbox Rewards

[PerfectStorm]

Yep, and a lot of the stuff there isn't really saving. I needed a new tumble dryer and while Currys had gone they had some Hotpoint/Indesit deal, through some staff style purchase scheme. With shipping costs, it at best matched Currys but was often still more expensive.

Wiiiiith that said, I had an issue with a Currys voucher (The page errored and I wound up with two lots of vouchers) and Perkbox were fantastic in sorting it.

Currys match Amazon so using the 8% voucher is often the cheapest way of getting tech stuff. Amazon's support is better though.

Curry's is back. But the love2shop card can be used for 8% off at Curry's, M&S and lots of others - in store only though.

Has anyone noticed Perkbox going utter rubbish in the last few weeks?

Amazon, M&S, Currys, Tesco, Sainsburys... all gone.

Chap on the forums over there said that they recycle the offers periodically so things like that will come back soon.

Disappointed

In my experience, Edenred was better.

E-vouchers are all very well, but you can't order an exact amount e.g. £76.84.

The personal travel 'perk' is woeful. You try planning a trip that uses top branded airlies or hotels and you'll see that they aren't included! Didn't seem to get any of that with Edenred.

Ohh and cinema tickets for my 2 local cinemas for just £6 !!!

[tarbera]

I can save £320 (8% of £3999) on new TV from currys using the ipse deal + in last year I've had over £6K of amazon deliverys (as so handy) will start using the vouchers

Yep, from what I can tell it’s about 1% better than the Edenred offers... but they seem to work entirely on digital vouchers rather than swipe cards

Although still no payment via AmEx, boo

[Seahorse17]

That's true. That said, cashflow is king too!

That Amazon offer, while appreciated, is a bit slim pickings... wonder if Perkbox managed to get any more out of them.

Looks good. Tesco, Amazon and Curry's all better than Edenred.

If you stock up, you're going to save money. You might save more money by waiting, you might save less by waiting. But you know that you're going to save anyway.

I'm buying Amazon, PC World and Tesco vouchers today just in case - worst case, I could have saved even more, but whatever the new discount scheme offers, I'm still better off with 2% off Amazon than 0.25% in my current account

No way of telling (that I can see) which Edenred services aren't available on Perkbox, if you wanted to stock up...

I previously had Perkbox as a permie and it was pretty much the same as all the benefits providers as far as I could see.

Also spoke to someone at Perkbox recently (they’re hiring) and they’re working on a new platform which apparently is much better (but I never had a problem with the old platform)

[PerfectStorm]

Pretty much the only thing I use IPSE for (barring having to use their legal services), I got an email from them

We are delighted to announce that we will be launching the brand new IPSE Rewards platform in partnership with Perkbox, on Tuesday 30th.

IPSE Rewards platform will provide you with exclusive access to deals to some of the biggest brands. As an IPSE member, you can expect special-rate cinema tickets, money off your supermarket shopping, free cups of coffee, discounts from top high street and online retailers, and much more.

Even better, all of these rewards will be accessible at your fingertips with the Perkbox mobile app, available on Andriod and Apple.

Don't worry, all of your gift cards and vouchers you have with Edenred will be valid in the shops and restaurants you have purchased for. Access to the Edenred platform will end on Sunday 28th January.

That said, the idea of a friendlier interface for buying sounds good. Maybe they'll do credit card payments too, something Edenred stopped as soon as they weren't allowed to gouge you with their fees...
