Reward Gateway is the UK's most dynamic and compelling employee discounts retail site. With over 2000 retail partners servicing over 850,000 UK employees through a secure, closed group website you can drive additional sales from this channel without impacting your general consumer business. Reward Gateway has re-invented the employee discounts market with its leading edge use of technology, founded on a genuine understanding of what employers and employees need. This makes us stand out to employers and partners alike as the first of a new generation of employee discount schemes.

Blue chip customers

Reward Gateway gives you access to an excellent audience of over 850,000 employees, including staff at leading companies in the public and private sectors. You will be exposing your brand to some of the most affluent and influential groups of shoppers in the country. If you are planning a product launch or other marketing activity and wish to target communications and sales effort, talk to Rizwan Kanval, Head of Supplier Relations about the targeting opportunities within Reward Gateway.

Protecting your retail pricing

We understand that "discount code leakage" is a serious problem for companies participating in employee benefits programmes. Some other benefits providers have low standards of registration security and as a result, employee-only discount codes leak onto publicly available discount code websites and money saving tips sites.

With Reward Gateway you can be assured of the highest standards of registration security - we have clear implemention criteria for all employees and we always ensure that our schemes have strict exit control so that when employees leave an employer their account is closed. In addition, although we can support discount codes and personalised landing pages, we recommend that discounts are provided to our users though our unique affiliate Cashback system. This has significant advantages for employees and employers and also ensures that it is impossible for a discount code to leak into the public domain.

Criteria for suppliers

As the UK's leader in employee discounts we have strict criteria to ensure that we provide the best services and products to employees working for our corporate clients. We are employer-funded so there is no charge to suppliers for joining the scheme; this also means that employers expect us to maintain the highest standards when considering a supplier application.

Key criteria used in supplier vetting include :

  • Discount level - as the leader in employee discounts we cannot consider any supplier who does not provide our users with their highest possible level of employee discount. This is non-negotiable.

  • Product and service quality and reputation

  • Brand strength / specialism

  • Customer service and backup - in addition to your normal customer service channels we will require a senior level escalation point in the event that one of our users has a problem that they report to us.

Because of the high standards of technology, supplier vetting and employee communication inherent in the Reward Gateway scheme, all stakeholders enjoy significantly higher usage and sales through the scheme when compared to other employee benefits programmes. This benefits employee, employer and supplier alike.
