Question ID: 591582
I am looking for additional firms that offer third party perks-at-work
services to other corporations.  That is to say, companies that, for a
fee (either from client corporation offering perks to employees or
from companies offering perks to employees or both), offer employees
special discounts, special services, group rates, etc., from various
companies.

Firms that we also know about include:

Perkscard (www.perkscard.com)
NextJump (www.nextjump.com)
Sparkfly (www.sparkfly.com)
Motivano (www.motivano.com)
Wild at Work(www.wildatwork.com)
Passport Unlimited (www.passportunlimited.com)
Perks.com (www.incentiveprograms.com--yeah, that URL makes sense!)
Employee Mall (www.employeemall.com)
Benefit Express Card (http://www.thebenexcard.com/default.aspx?mode=about_us)
WorkStream (http://www.workstreaminc.com/products_services/rewards/index.asp)
BeyondWork (http://www.beyondwork.com/v0_co_eds.htm)

There are also several other companies I now know about listed on
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=588708.  Unless you
are bobby7 or czh getting paid for that question, persons answering
with those companies will not be eligible for payment.  (bobby7 and
czh both offered answers to this question string.)

To clarify, a qualifying company must offer employees perks, not
rewards, by which I mean "privileges, gains or profits INCIDENTAL to
regular salary or wages; especially ones expected or promised."

I will pay $25 for the first company found and a tip of $25 for each
subsequent company found, so long as they meet the qualifications
described above and offer these services to American employees.  (I'll
post a separate question if someone other than the initial answerer
comments that they have an additional company that fits the bill.)

Hello logicalboyla-ga,

I?m glad that some of the companies I found will work for you. Here
are the ones you accepted in your prior question. It?s been a tougher
job than I expected because it is clear that there is a lot of
consolidation going on in this industry. Several companies I
identified through routine search had been acquired by companies that
are already on your list.

Wishing you well for your project.

Companies enlighten workers to corporate fashion

RBA, as part of its services, offers a corporate discount program.
Under the program, companies can enroll free of charge to offer
workers a 15% discount on in-store purchases of regularly priced
merchandise across all RBA brands.

"As companies look for more and more creative ways to compensate their
employees, these types of discounts come into play," Mr. Moseman said.

Using an online enrollment system, employees register for a
personalized, corporate membership card that is valid for 24 months
and can be renewed upon expiration.

Currently, more than 1,000 companies participate in the corporate
discount, with about 155,000 employees enrolled. "We average about a
22% to a 26% participation rate" among companies that join, said Mr.
Moseman, who noted that "reactivation rates have been very strong."
