Today I went to a store to redeem a reward offer that sounded very good for some Christmas gifts. The offer was for every $50 you spend on Apple gift cards you would get 5000 points which is $5. So that sounded like a great gift for people who use iPhone products. As I went to pay for the item I took out my phone to get my store rewards point number scanned and the employee immediately told me that I wouldn\u2019t get any points for buying gift cards unless I had a special offer. I did of course and showed her in which she replied how that sounded like a great offer.<\/p>\n
She was telling me how she often buys e-books from the Apple store and this offer would be very good since she would save money buying these cards versus directly depositing money. I was even joking how she is going to buy it now in which she expressed she probably would. That got me to think how many times people work for a company and are completely oblivious to the deals that they could get.<\/p>\n
Sales are one thing, but many companies often have partnership with other companies to get huge discounts for products and services. Employee purchase plans for cell phones is a common example. One of my favorites when working at a retail store was this program called the Intel Edge retail program where you could buy the latest processor and all for such a cheap price compared to retail. But not many people took advantage of it or knew such a thing existed.<\/p>\n
People often think employees snatch up all the good deals first. But many times they are forbidden from purchasing hot items or they simply aren\u2019t aware of them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
