Tap into Summer Savings!

Some are scaling back plans when it comes to vacations. In a recent survey by Bankrate, fewer than half of all Americans - 46% - said they are planning summer travel, down from 53% in 2024. Managing money carefully is always a good thing, but don’t forgo a summer break entirely! Your EAP offers tools that can help make your summer plans more affordable

First, be sure to log in to your Self-Help Resource Center to explore your EAP Lifestyle Savings Benefit. Get discounts, cash back offers, and perks that will help you get the most for your money. If you are planning to travel, there are deals on vacation packages, cruises, car rentals, theme and water parks, bus tours, flights, and more. Even if you plan a “staycation,” there are many discounts for tickets to sporting events and performances, museums, theatres, local dining, local attractions, and more. If your staycation involves home or yard improvement or planning for back to school, get deals on your favorite brands.

Here’s a small sampling:
• Old Navy • DSW • Disney • Apple • Lego • Costco • HP • Sam’s Club • Crate & Barrel • Lowe’s • Home Depot • Cabela’s • TJ Maxx • HomeGoods • Macys • JCPenney • BJs • LL Bean • Nike • CVS • PetSmart • Door Dash, and many more!
