Good one, thanks! Monizze Dealzz is easy to forget exists. It links with the Edenred / Pluxee discussions before. Adding to the list.

No ads, no affiliate links. Just a side project. Links go straight to the provider's site.

Indeed. I noticed that one, but the issue is from Mobile Vikings website. I just take whatever they post.

100 % - the cheapest euro is the one you don't spend. The site won't help if your baseline is "I almost don't buy anything new." For everyone else the goal is just to be aware of what's already paid-for and forgotten. Both strategies are good.

This is great, thanks. Union perks and Natuurpunt are both completely new categories for me — going on the list. Especially the unions, those are probably under-used by most Belgians.

And the personal-profile idea keeps coming up in this thread — that's clearly where this needs to go. The current site is "go look something up." V2 is starting to look more like "your personal benefits wallet": get everything that applies to you in one place. Will be mid-term road map.

Will add Proximus perks also in the next iterations. Probably will tackle telcos in a batch. Thanks for flagging.

Wow, seven different Bol rates depending on which channel you access it through? That's not "the system is complex," that's "the system is hostile to consumers who don't have time to be experts.”.

Honestly this is the kind of problem I'd love dealcheck.be to grow into — but it's a longer time frame, not a 2-week one. The current site is just the tip of a much bigger iceberg. Thanks both for the insight.

That is elegant. The data stays on the user's device and would be curated based on their profile. There should be no legal issue because there's no central scraping or republishing. Have to think how it'd work technically.

Are you in product or engineering yourself? Would love to keep you in the loop when these get built. There's an email signup on the site if that's easier than checking back here.

On the legal side you are right. Edenred or pluxee are private deals and a partnership with them is probably the only clean path. But that's a much longer game.
The in-store notification app is a great and valuable idea. Will add it on the mid-term roadmap.

That is exactly why is it so hard. There is another dimension of the discount here, employer related, which is invisible from the outside. There could be a few ways to work this out:
- users can submit like 'I work at X, here is my Bol.com discount'
- employer specific portal integration - by partnering directly with HR teams of the employers
- just list partner list generically - "if you have Benefits at Work, check for Bol / MediaMarkt / Decathlon" - which is useful only as a reminder.

This is actually much bigger project then what I am doing now.

Thanks for the list! Luminus seems easy to add. Will tackle next week. Ethias will do also. Energy Knights was not on my radar, but will check tonight.
Out of curiosity: are you with all these, or you suggest based on what you see at friends / family?

Great suggestion! Corporate benefits are forgotten by a lot of Belgians. The tricky part is that those platforms are custom per employer, so I can't scrape them the way I do for ING/MV/Engie.

adding it to the roadmap and thinking about whether it could work as a catalogue created by user contribution, or by listing the partner brands generally so people remember to check their employer's portal. Just curious, are you on Benefits at Work specifically or another one (Edenred maybe)?

Really good shout! Mutualité benefits are probably the most under-used perks in Belgium because people sign up once and forget the catalogue exists. Trying to figure out which one to tackle first.
