With nationwide high costs and both personal and organizational budgets looking tight for the year ahead, adding discounts is a visible, tangible form of employee support.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Health and wellness programs: <\/strong>Pair your <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/use-cases\/wellness-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wellness stipend<\/a> with discounts on gym memberships, fitness apps, mental health services, sports equipment, and healthy meal kits. By submitting an already-discounted receipt for reimbursement, employees get more clear value from the benefits they already have.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Learning and growth: <\/strong>Combine <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/use-cases\/learning-and-development-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">professional development stipends<\/a> with discounts on online courses, books, and learning subscriptions. Like with wellness above, stipends cover the cost; discounts make them go further.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Family and lifestyle support: <\/strong>Offer savings on travel, family entertainment, and everyday essentials that matter to caregivers, remote employees, and distributed teams.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Recognition and spot bonuses: <\/strong>When employees receive a spot bonus or recognition stipend through Compt, they can also discover deals on experiences and items they might use that money on. This turns a single reward into multiple moments of impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Because <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/employee-discounts\/?internal_source=blog_text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">everything runs inside Compt<\/a>, HR doesn\u2019t have to promote \u201cyet another benefits portal.\u201d Employees can naturally take advantage of discounts when using the platform to access the stipends and rewards they already know about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What savings actually look like for employees<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Savings vary by merchant and category, but here are examples based on typical PerkSpot offers and common stipend scenarios:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fitness and wellness: <\/strong>An employee with a $100\/month fitness subscription finds a score: 25% off via Employee Discounts! They submit their discounted receipt for reimbursement via their wellness stipend allowance, and rather than using the entire stipend on one purchase, they save $25 to use on other eligible wellness purchases.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Family movie night: <\/strong>A family of four sees two movies a month, using discounted tickets that save $5-$10 per ticket. That\u2019s up to $80 per month in savings, and the tickets themselves may still be reimbursable under a family, entertainment, or Treat Yourself stipend category.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Weekend travel:<\/strong> An avid traveler books a $500 hotel through a travel discount at 20% off. That\u2019s $100 saved on a single trip, on top of any eligible stipend reimbursements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Auto care: <\/strong>An employee buys discounted oil changes or service vouchers for 15% off, and then submits receipts against a commuting or Treat Yourself stipend, thereby stacking savings without any additional costs to your benefits program.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the kinds of real-world moments employees remember \u2014 and talk about \u2014 when they think about your benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stack even more value with reward points<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of built-in savings and stipend reimbursements, employees can also earn and redeem reward points on select deals in the <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/employee-discounts\/?internal_source=blog_text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discounts experience<\/a>. It\u2019s an effortless way to stretch their lifestyle stipend dollars even further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How reward points work<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees earn reward points on qualifying purchases through the Discounts portal. Points vary by deal, and balances are automatically tracked inside PerkSpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>100 reward points = $1.00 in savings.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Points can be redeemed on 240+ brands (including gift cards).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Redemption works directly in the portal, with no codes or extra accounts required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ways employees can use reward points<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Save money and get rewarded. <\/strong>When your employees purchase from participating merchants, they automatically earn points redeemable for future discounts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stack savings even more. <\/strong>Employees can redeem their points for gift cards at their favorite stores and <em>combine<\/em> those gift cards with an available deal in the Discounts portal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stretch those paychecks. <\/strong>Employees can use reward points to further reduce the cost of purchases they already plan to make. Over time, this becomes a powerful way to turn monthly spending into noticeable savings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not every discount includes reward points. But those that do offer an additional boost that helps employees feel the immediate impact of your lifestyle benefits program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image2-1024x555.png\" alt=\"Compt and Perkspot Launch Employee Discounts\" class=\"wp-image-20047 lazyload\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image2-1024x555.png\" alt=\"Compt and Perkspot Launch Employee Discounts\" class=\"wp-image-20047 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image2-1024x555.png 1024w, https:\/\/compt.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image2-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/compt.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image2-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/compt.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/image2.png 1310w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why this works better than typical employee discount portals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most employee discount programs force a tradeoff:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Locked-in marketplaces<\/strong> with limited vendors and rigid catalogs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>OR<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open stipends<\/strong> with flexibility, but no built-in savings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/employee-discounts\/?internal_source=blog_text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Employee Discounts, powered by PerkSpot<\/strong><\/a>, you don\u2019t have to choose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Built in, not bolted on: <\/strong>Discounts live directly inside the Compt platform alongside <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/lifestyle-benefits\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">stipends<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/rewards-and-recognition-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/rewards-and-recognition-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Rewards and Recognition<\/a><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/company-swag-store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">company swag<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/expense-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Business Expense Management<\/a>.

Employees can choose what wellness means to them, whether that\u2019s gym memberships, yoga classes, therapy, meditation apps, home equipment, supplements, groceries, meal kits, or even supportive gear for hobbies that keep them active. That flexibility is why stipends usually win on engagement: more people can participate in ways that feel authentic to their lives.<br\/><br\/>With <a href=\"https:\/\/compt.io\/how-it-works\/employee-discounts\/?internal_source=blog_text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Employee Discounts<\/a>, HR teams get the best of both: A flexible wellness stipend that works for everyone, plus discounts that make gym memberships, wellness apps, and equipment more affordable for the employees who want them.<br\/><\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1767628332455\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\"><br\/><strong>How much can employees realistically save?<\/strong><\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Savings vary by brand and category, but many offers fall in the 20-60% off range.
