How Employees Are Saving More Every Day: Real Stories, Real Results

Posted by Ashley Autry on May. 15, 2025

What if your team could save money on daily essentials, fun experiences, and even big-ticket items just for being part of your organization?

That’s exactly what happens with a unique employee discount program from Access. These exclusive savings help stretch paychecks further, improve quality of life, and boost satisfaction — all while showing your employees they’re truly valued.

Because when employees thrive, so does your organization.

As an Access employee, I know the value of our member savings, but it really hit home (literally) when I moved out of a tiny 350-square-foot apartment and into a new house. Suddenly, I needed a lot more than I thought – furniture, appliances, electronics, etc.

Thanks to the employee discount program, I saved over $1,500 on two Samsung Frame TVs and a new washer and dryer! Instead of stressing about the costs, I got to focus on settling in.

From everyday wins to game-changing purchases, these real-life stories showcase how strategic savings can make a powerful impact.

When "Maybe Someday" Becomes Right Now

A little extra help can go a long way like taking a vacation, affording car repairs, or splurging on something special without breaking the budget. With the right lifestyle benefits for employees, your team gets meaningful savings that help turn goals into reality.

  • “I have always been a HUGE Samsung fanatic and have wanted their new AI broomstick vacuum but couldn't see spending over $1,000 on it. I was able to grab a great discount and make it possible for me to purchase it. I LOVE IT and am glad I could finally afford it!” – Daniel C. 
  • “We took the family to Kennywood and saved half of the cost. We would not have been able to afford it without the savings.” – Lisa G.

When Unexpected Expenses Hit, Discounts Help

Unexpected costs can throw off any budget, but having built-in savings creates a safety net.

  • “I would not have had enough money to get my shocks and struts replaced on my vehicle if I'd not been able to get 20% off from Advanced Auto Parts. I'm so thankful for the discount!” – Tara L. 
  • “I booked three nights at the Palazzo because of this discount program! I would have never been able to afford a room like that before. I am so excited! – Michelle H. 
  • “The discount program saved me almost 50% off brand new appliances when I bought my house.” – Anna Claire B. 

Stretching Every Paycheck Further

Employee discounts don’t just save money, they help people enjoy more of what they love. From dining out and travel to home upgrades and holidays, every little bit adds up.

  • “I used the 10% off for Universal Studios Hollywood. It saved me a ton. I was able to use that money to buy my favorite merchandise inside the park.” – Neha G. 
  • “I was able to save BIG on our car rental for the holidays, which put a little extra cash in our pocket to spend on other food and gifts!” – Christina S. 

Everyday Wins That Boost Morale

Small discounts can make a big difference in daily life, and that boost in morale is priceless.

  • “My son and I enjoyed a mother/son outing to Topgolf. It was great to save an extra $10 so I could splurge on everything my son wanted.” – Donna A. 
  • “I was out of town and saved a substantial amount on pizza delivery for my whole tribe! They were impressed.” – Faye T. 
  • “We used a coupon to save 8% using 1-800-Got-Junk when I cleaned out my basement and garage. We had a great experience and saved $85. The savings helped make it more affordable.” – Marie G. 
  • “I bought a brand new Samsung smart tv for $400 less! After the extra discount I essentially got 50% off.” – Eric W. 

Give Your Team More Than a Paycheck
