If your company is like many others, including mine, they offer a host of benefits aside from the typical medical, dental, and vision. I didn’t realize how many of them we have taken advantage of over the years until I was perusing the list.
Does your place of employment offer anything good? Have you checked? It’s a great way to save some $$$.
For example, here are the ones we’ve taken advantage of, which in some cases have literally saved us thousands of dollars.
Biometric Screening – Each year by taking a survey, as well as a blood test, we receive a credit of $150 for Nicole and another $150 for myself. They reduced this recently and it’s now down to $100 each but it couldn’t be easier and doesn’t take much time at all.
Mortgage Closing Costs – This was a big one; our closing costs when we refinanced were just a few hundred dollars.
New Vehicle Purchase Program Discount – We used this to purchase our last vehicle and saved about $2,500 off the sticker price.
Bike Helmets – My wellness program reimbursed us for new bike helmets we purchased. Bam! Another $50 saved.
Wireless Services – We get a 15% discount each month on our AT&T bill thanks to this one. We’ve had this one going for years.
It all adds up!
There are a host of others we haven’t taken advantage of too, including electronic purchases, theme park discounts, travel discounts, and financial services. With my wellness program we’d also be reimbursed a portion of our yearly health club fees. That would be handy if we used a health club, but many people do, so it’s worth checking into!
It pays to take a look to see what offerings are available, so why not take advantage?
