Many people have had their lives and jobs impacted by COVID-19. Some are unable to work, others may be overloaded with work and childcare. For nearly everyone, even those with jobs, the future is very uncertain. If you’re in this boat, you’re likely looking for every way you can save money. We can help.

Everyone who purchases a vehicle service contract from Endurance automatically receives Endurance Elite benefits for a year, which include a rewards voucher for $250 to put toward rewards like discounted gift cards. The first $250 is earned immediately upon activating your vehicle protection plan. Plus, as a special limited-time relief effort to assist those with financial hardship, new policy members will earn another $250 in rewards after making their third monthly payment. These rewards, combined with affordable payment options, can help put money back in your pocket when you need it most.

Up your gift card game with restaurant discounts

You can use the $250 in rewards money to buy discounted gift cards by logging into My Digital Rewards Platform. For example, you can apply your rewards dollars toward a gift card valued at $100 for only $90 on a restaurant gift card which can be used at Outback Steakhouse, Carraba’s Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill, and Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse. Use the gift card to make a food order for pick up or delivery. You’ll be supporting local employees at those businesses and giving yourself a break from cooking!

There are other chains that offer delivery, like Applebees, TGI Fridays, Ruby Tuesdays, California Pizza Kitchen, and more. If you prefer preparing food yourself, why not take advantage of a discount on Omaha Steaks? Fix juicy, delicious steaks at home to your liking for a five-star dining experience in your own dining room. Now especially is the time to treat yourself if you’re able. It’s a difficult time and enjoying a delicious meal with family can be a welcome respite. If you’re not up to preparing sides, you can also get a whole meal delivered.

Save on other essentials

In addition to restaurants and grocery stores, the My Digital Vehicle Rewards platform contains countless other deals on gift cards and local coupons. 

For example, you can use your rewards voucher to score deals on a Groupon gift card. In addition to savings on dining, Groupon offers great deals on everything from daily essentials for your family to huge discounts on electronics, clothing, home goods, and more. 

With gift cards from CVS Pharmacy, you can save on health care and personal supplies that you need around the home. If you’re not up to going to a large grocery store right now, you can still stock up on essentials and necessary health supplies at CVS, and save! If you’re working on your fitness goals, save on supplements and protein from GNC. 

While you’re stuck at home, your vehicle may be stuck in the garage or parked nearby, just waiting for the day it can be used again. You may not realize this, but cars are more prone to issues when they are not used or sit for long periods of time, so if you’re not driving much now in light of COVID-19 or social distancing, you still need to protect yourself from potential issues stemming from non-use.

If you’re struggling to keep up, check out deals on auto maintenance. Discounts are available for gift cards to Jiffy Lube and Auto Zone. They’ll come in handy when it comes to keeping your car in good working order, even when driving less. Driving your car less frequently may lead to issues with your battery, alternator, and other essential vehicle components. If you’re able to keep your oil changes current, definitely do. In many cases, stay-at-home orders have classified auto service and repair as an essential business, allowing dealerships to maintain service operations. Check your local area shelter in place rules and if your state considers getting to a mechanic a critical consumer need, take time to support your local auto shops. If you can’t get maintenance done on your car now, plan to do so as soon as restrictions are lifted to extend the life of your vehicle.

Supplies for working from home

Many office workers are now working remotely to flatten the curve and prevent the spread of Coronavirus. It’s great if you are still able to continue working from home, but you may find yourself without some essential office supplies. Need an extra monitor or more file folders to stay organized? Check out deals from Office Depot and get the necessary office supplies delivered straight to your home. 

Miss the office coffee pot? If you don’t already have an at-home version, you can save on an amazing Cuisinart option with all the bells and whistles. You can indulge yourself with a higher-end machine when you’re saving more than $100 on it. Plus, with everyone’s home, it’s sure to be put to good use. 

If you’re already set up to work from home (or like me, you’re a tea person) you can get great deals on kitchen supplies like this toaster oven, which is great for reheating leftovers or making small meals. If you have kids, it’s a great option for them to heat up their own meals without using the full oven. It uses less energy and resources as well. If you have a gas stove, using the toaster oven for small meals can help cut down on your gas bill too!

Savings on things for the kids

Many parents are working hard to homeschool their kids amidst school closures due to COVID-19. Save on fun prizes for a job well done with gift cards from Build a Bear, Nike, or Groupon. If your child is a big sports fan, you can also pick up a gift card for them to Fanatics. Let them enjoy picking out the sports gear their heart desires, while you save on the cost.

In addition to fun items like gift cards for toys and sports gear, you can also save on essentials for growing kids with gift cards to Marshall’s, Macy’s, and Foot Locker.
