Make the most of this summer with help from Member Benefits!

s we get older, we come to understand that time is our most valuable commodity. Between professional responsibilities and personal commitments, the days can fill up fast. That’s why it’s important to make the most of the warm weather while we can. No matter your upcoming plans, check out all NYSUT Member Benefits has to offer to turn this summer into one you’ll never forget.

If it’s fun you crave, you’ll want to explore the MB Discounts & Deals program. NYSUT members can save up to 50 percent at more than 1 million locations, including flights, hotels and resorts, vehicle rentals, theme parks and attractions, sporting events and concerts, restaurant dine-in or take-out, and much more. Start saving today by creating your account at mbdeals.enjoymydeals.com with an email address, password, and your seven-digit NYSUT ID number (which can be found by visiting nysut.org/memberid).

Looking for some cool new electronics? NYSUT members can save on thousands of items online with ODP Business Solutions — including video game consoles and accessories, laptops and desktop computers, televisions, cameras, and more. Members can also shop for a variety of school and office products. Orders must be purchased online and can be shipped to your home/business or picked up at an Office Depot store.

Are you someone who loves a new adventure? How about exploring Japan’s cultural treasures, trekking through Sicily’s ancient landscapes, or taking a safari through African countries? NYSUT members save at least $150 per person on published Grand Circle Travel & Overseas Adventure Travel tours along with additional discounts and savings.

Need a relaxing activity this summer like gardening or perhaps you’re looking to upgrade your outdoor living space? Purchasing Power offers eligible NYSUT members the opportunity to browse thousands of items and pay over 12 months through payroll deduction or ACH withdrawals. Save 20 percent on your first order and at least 10 percent on all subsequent purchases. While not a discount program, Purchasing Power offers the benefits of no credit check, no hidden fees, and fixed payments.

The warmer weather often means the arrival of new furry friends to the family. If you recently welcomed a new dog or cat to your household, you’ll want to make sure they are protected from fleas and ticks — along with accidents, illnesses, and other pet misadventures. Nationwide pet insurance plans can reimburse policyholders for the cost of veterinary care. NYSUT members receive preferred pricing along with additional discounts when enrolling multiple pets.
