How to purchase
Reka Money
The unique holiday and recreation vouchers
At Reka you receive a discount on every purchase. In other words: You get more for your money and can in turn increase your holiday and leisure budget. Many employers offer their employees a discount (usually 20 per cent) on a certain amount as a fringe benefit. If your employer does not offer this, you can obtain Reka Money from us at a two per cent discount and from Coop supermarkets at a three per cent discount. As a means of payment, the holiday and recreation vouchers correspond one to one to the Swiss franc. They can be used for public transport, hotel accommodation, restaurants, fitness memberships and even for petrol.
