Since last week you have been 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.

You now have access to a huge range of discounts across the UK’s major retailers including supermarkets, technology, fashion, travel and much more! The majority of these are instant digital codes that make it easy for you use in store and online. 

So many of you have already signed up to make the most of instant discounts that help you save on day to day costs.

The most popular instant egift cards this past week have been

  • Currys PC World (8% online and in-store)
  • Tesco (4% in-store)
  • Sainsbury (5% online and in-store)
  • Marks and Spencer (7.5% online and in-store)
  • John Lewis/ Waitrose (5% online and in-store)
  • Asda (4% online)
  • Argos (8% online)
  • Morrisons (5% in-store)

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.

To access these savings, you simply need to register with vivup.co.uk or visit our Vivup page for more information on this new benefit and how registering for Vivup makes you eligible for an exciting prize draw!
