The doctor I go to isn’t covered by my vision insurance, so I paid out of pocket and got reimbursed. I also bought contacts out of pocket and got reimbursed. All total my out of pocket was zero (I also did a rebate for the contacts and got money back for shopping with shop at home). Gotta use those benefits while you have them. Hope your cuts aren’t too bad.

I maxed out any benefits I could when I was with a company.

I used to buy a lot of things for mystery shopping (a lot of meals out) – it was great, free food plus credit card points and later reimbursement.

We have something similar where we get $150 off a quarter if we keep track of our wellness stuff through the wellness website.

When I worked for a Fortune 100 company, I had discount tickets for events, or special buying services, a credit union, profit sharing, no cost medical/dental/vision insurance and much more. It is part of your compensation whether you use it or not.

Lots of people undervalue the cost of benefits, when we are estimating things at work, we use a load factor of 48% above an hourly/salary wage! Granted, we have good benefits, but still.

Sadly, I think you’re in the minority these days with cost cutting in many companies. Since we run our own business I know all too well how many of these things cost, but it’s worth it in the long run.

I certainly am, and I hope that everyone that is offered these types of incentives are, but they aren’t part of our employee benefits plan. I guess my organization considers benefits “health” benefits.
