Discount Card for Education Union Members: A Game Changer?

I'm excited to share my experience with the discount card for Education Union members. As a long-time educator, I've been a part of the union for years, and I recently received this card before the new year. Let me tell you, it's been a total game changer!

The card itself is pretty standard – a plastic card with my name and number on one side, and a list of partners on the other. It's super convenient to carry around, especially in my wallet.

Now, let's talk about the partners. There are tons of them, and each city has its own list. You can check the partners in your city by logging into your account and changing the location. I'll give you a rundown of the partners in my city, Vоронеж.

First off, let's talk about the big shopping centers. Lenta, Peresekrestok, and Okay are all part of the program. When you use their card, you get an extra 10-15% off your purchase, as long as you spend over 1,500 rubles. And the best part? You only get the discount on white-tagged items.

But that's not all – many of the partners are located right next to each other. For example, in the Armada mall, you can get a discount at Peresekrestok, and then head over to Karri, Podruga, or Taşir Pizza. It's super convenient!

If you're planning a fun day out with the kids, you can get a discount at the Oceanarium, Kidburg, or My City (Lego) in the City Park Grad.

Another great spot for kids is the Nelja Park. It's especially popular during the holidays.

Some other great partners include Beliy Kolyadets and Kudiaryov Stan (contact animals). Unfortunately, there's only one pharmacy partner – Farmia.

There are also a few medical centers and analysis partners, including the very popular Center for Modern Pediatrics.

One of the best deals I've found is with the Varikoz clinic – 70% off your first appointment and 20% off follow-up procedures.

There are also discounts on fitness services, cleaning, and some auto shops. I'm still exploring all the options, but so far, I'm loving it!

Of course, I wish they had partnerships with museums, cinemas, and other kid-friendly spots. But even with what they have, it's still a great deal!
