s it just us or does it feel like the years are starting to go quicker and quicker? We’re already a couple months into a new academic year and approaching that most magical time — the holidays. We hope that means spending quality time with loved ones and friends while sharing laughter, joy … and gifts!

Before purchasing any items on your list, we encourage you to explore memberbenefits.nysut.org for all that NYSUT Member Benefits has to offer. Whether you’re looking to save on gift baskets, flowers or chocolates, Bose products, clothing or shoes, movie tickets, sporting events and concerts, theme parks and attractions, restaurants, or thousands of other deals, you’re going to want to check out MB Discounts & Deals.

This popular program utilizes the nation’s largest private discount network to offer NYSUT members exclusive access to savings of up to 50 percent at more than 1 million locations. Note: Your seven-digit NYSUT ID number is required to create an MB Discounts & Deals account. This can be found on your NYSUT Membership Card or by visiting nysut.org/memberid.

Buyer’s Edge, Inc. is a buying service that can be used to purchase major products and services — backed by a low-price guarantee — such as new or used vehicles, appliances, televisions, furniture, mattresses and more. Members have the option to purchase online, by phone, or in-person (in certain benefit categories and geographic regions).

NYSUT members can save up to 75 percent on thousands of items with the ODP Business Solutions “Best value list” of preferred products. We’re not just talking school or office supplies, ink and toner, and paper either. ODP Business Solutions offers video game consoles and accessories, laptops and desktop computers, televisions, cameras and more. Orders can be made online and shipped to your home/business or picked up at an Office Depot store.

Through our Purchasing Power program, eligible NYSUT members can purchase brand-name products such as computers, electronics, appliances, furniture, and even travel opportunities while paying over a 12-month period through payroll deduction or Automated Clearing House withdrawals. While Purchasing Power is not a discount program, it can help participants save time and money over traditional financing options like high-interest credit cards or rent-to-own stores.

Speaking of travel, have you been dreaming about taking an unforgettable domestic or international excursion? NYSUT members save $150 per person on published Grand Circle Travel & Overseas Adventure Travel tours, along with additional discounts and savings, simply for being a NYSUT member. Many of these trips offer the chance to become fully immersed in the culture of the region, including lesser-known locations that most Americans never get to experience.

Remember that members who participate in Member Benefits-endorsed programs gain peace of mind knowing they have a trusted advocate on their side. So, there you have it — Member Benefits offers plenty of savings opportunities to make this the best holiday season ever for you and your loved ones.
