Have you ever used employee discount(s) after you were no longer employed?

Feb 19, 2012 8:28 PM

Anything from "Mall Food Court Discount" to Cell Phone discounts, etc. Have you ever done it? I remember being so used to saying "mall discount" at the mall when getting food that it kinda stuck with me.. to the point that my wife was like, "uhh what?" today when we got some Panda Express..

I didn't even realize it (like a reflex).. Haven't worked at the mall in a decade lol. I also remember using my JCPenney discount for a few months after I had quit as well.

So have you?

Warner Bros. way back when they had the retail Studio Stores. It was the tail end of the 90's, and the stuff I was most interested in (Animaniacs) wasn't around by then anyways.

Ummmm Yes. Had left the company a few years before, went to a store that sold their products. Had an old photo badge (the current 1 was turned in), told the salesperson I no longer worked there. He said, "No problem, you get the employee discount." It was 20 or 25%, can't remember. He also mailed the gift item at no charge. His choice, so I don't feel like I did anything wrong. Still, I felt a little uneasy. Not enough to refuse the discount & free mailing, though.

I had a sweet discount at Verizon while I was working for The Gap, and I kept it for a while after I left. I also still have the antivirus my old firm gave to me, which I supposed to remove after quitting. sobs I feel so ashamed!!!.... not really.

The only place where I worked that had a product/service you could get a discount on was a rental car place (Enterprise) and I was only 20, meaning I couldn't even rent a dang car (you have to be at least 21)

i still have my former employer's cellphone discount which gets me 20% off my bill each month. it's not the first time i kept a cellphone discount even after not being with the company. as long as i stay with the same cellphone carrier, i keep it and i'm not taking it off!!

I have at Barnes & Noble. Although the employee recognized me as an ex-co-worker and just did it to be nice, which was pretty darn cool. I tried once at Sears (they have employee discount cards) but it didn't go through.

I still have my GM badge that I use at Disney Epcot. I get an ultra-fast pass to get to the very, very front of the line of the GM Test Track.

That would be lying, which is something I do not do.

I may or may not still have a GM employee discount on my Verizon account.

@iggz: Good thing you don't lie. (Am thinking intentional misspells don't count as lies.)

I was never an employee of Best Buy, however, I have an employee discount with them online. Private store as well as retail. Also still have my account with Cheveron Perks.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
