Participation and Usage

Q: What discounts am I eligible for as part of the Employee Discount Benefit?
A: As a Hy-Vee or Hy-Vee, Inc. subsidiary employee, you can save 10% off your Hy-Vee purchases and 20% off dine-in orders at any Hy-Vee-owned Wahlburgers. (Some exclusions may apply.)

A: Yes, some restrictions apply. These restrictions include, but are not limited to, alcohol, lottery tickets, fuel, tobacco, money orders, money transfers, prepaid debit cards, gift cards, postage, dry cleaning services, pharmacy transactions, DSW shoe purchases, and Mealtime to Go orders. See the program terms and conditions for more details.

Q: How frequently can I use my Employee Discount Benefit?
A: You can use your discount benefit as often as you shop at Hy-Vee or dine in at one of our Wahlburgers locations. (To receive the discount on dine-in orders at our Hy-Vee Wahlburgers locations, you will need to have your card registered within the Hy-Vee Aisles Online app.)

Q: How do I use the discount when shopping at Hy-Vee stores?
A: Simply swipe your Fuel Saver + Perks card, or show the cashier your registered card on the Hy-Vee Aisles Online mobile app.

Q: On restaurant purchases, is the discount just applied to the employee's meal or is it the entire check? What about Wahlburgers apparel purchases?
A: The 20% discount will be applied to the entire check as long as it contains the employee's meal and the employee shows his/her registered digital Fuel Saver + Perks card on the Hy-Vee Aisles Online app. For merchandise purchases at Hy-Vee-owned Wahlburgers locations, the 20% discount will apply as long as the employee is making the purchase and again shows his/her digital Fuel Saver + Perks card on the Hy-Vee Aisles Online app.

Q: How do I know my discount was applied?
A: You'll see the discount reflected on your receipt.

Q: What if I forgot to swipe my Fuel Saver + Perks® card or present my digital card at checkout?
