Housing Perks - cashback for tenants
Earlier this year, we launched a trial partnership with Housing Perks, an app which gives you access to offers and discounts at over 100 national retailers, including Sainsbury's, ASDA, Morrisons and Argos.
During the trial around 5,000 tenants downloaded the app, generating savings for these households of £17,722.
We can see how useful this app has been for many of our tenants, and so we are pleased to say that the trial has been a success - the app is here to stay.
How it works
To get started with Housing Perks and enjoy discounts, follow these simple steps:
- Download the app for free to your device available from the Apple app store or Google Play Store.
- Sign up and select ‘Birmingham City Council’ from the drop-down menu.
- Enter your payment reference number and your account will be registered to your address. You can find your payment reference number on your rent statement or on communications from us.
- Buy a voucher with up to a 20% discount, the voucher will appear in seconds ready for you to use online or instore.
We know how challenging it can be budgeting and managing household bills, so we will be implementing a new feature that gives Housing Perks users the option to pay savings made through the app directly to their rent account.
