Are you planning an end-of-summer vacation or stocking up on seasonal health supplies? Two employee benefit programs may help you save this summer.
LifeMart discounts are available on hotels, restaurants, car rentals, theme parks, zoos, aquariums, and other products and services. Check LifeMart before you make reservations or purchase tickets to see whether a discount is available.
To access LifeMart, you need to activate your free Care.com account.
A flexible spending account can save you money by allowing you to use pretax dollars on eligible healthcare services and supplies. Summer essentials that likely qualify include:
- Sunscreen and lip balm with SPF 15 or higher
- Prescription sunglasses
- Anti-itch creams
- First aid kits and supplies
- Motion sickness remedies
- Allergy medications
Using an FSA can reduce eligible costs by about 25%, depending on your tax situation. Visit the ASIFlex website to browse eligible expenses and learn more.
If you don’t currently have an FSA but would like one, you can sign up during benefits open enrollment in October.
