Crew ID Discounts

SkiHigh2002 · March 5th, 2008, 14:37

Thought this might be an interesting thread...

We all know the places where the crew ID gets us discounts (hotel bars, airport restaurants, etc...) but I'm looking to learn some more specific places that maybe not all of us know about. City transit systems that give discounts? Museums or theaters that maybe give discounts? Anything and everything.

For those that get the discount it is not just for two-day air delivery, it is for everything.

McCormick & Schmicks seafood restaurants.

Negative ghostrider...

It's only for Fedex AIR services... not for ground. I found that out two years ago when I thought it would be uber cheap to send my Christmas gifts via Fedex Ground... turned out 2 day air was cheaper since we don't get a discount on the ground services.

Makes sense anyway... after all... we are pilots (air) and not truck drivers (ground).

Bob -

That's what I thought but when I went to my local FedEx Kinko's a few months ago and shipped something they gave me the discount for ground. That was apparently in error. I guess I lucked out!

I'd take it if ya can get it!

Actually Nick, after re-reading the discount info on Fedex in preperation for this post... it does not specify air/ground. It simply says 75% off of personal shipments of 150lbs or less. So... it looks like I may have received the raw deal.

How does one normally go about getting a discount on cellular services? Contact the provider directly or go through the company??

Kristie · March 5th, 2008, 20:14

contact the provider with the discount info

Your company will have program numbers, coupon/discount codes, or special employee phone lines to call. Just follow your company's procedures that were set up in order to acquire the discounts.

We get discount movie and amusement park deals!

blee256 · March 7th, 2008, 04:53

Farmers insurance gives a 10% discount to aviation professionals. So if thats your insurance company ask them about it. If you have any questions, let me know and I will find out for you.

For what it's worth, I've only been allowed the FedEx discount on FedEx air, not ground. And I've used it quite a few times at quite a few locations.

Captain_Bob · March 8th, 2008, 18:07

Hmmm... the plot thickens...

Correct! It doesnt work on ground and it doesnt work for 3 day super saver (air) either. It works for next day and 2nd day air. If you're going to ship it next day, send it priority overnite (delivery by 10am) because its usually the same as standard overnight.

kellwolf · March 8th, 2008, 22:24

For the most part, it's been cheaper for me to ship stuff FedEx using the discount than it has been to use the USPS.

And I don't know about you, but if it is going to be the same amount of money then I would much rather give it to FedEx.
