postsozial celebrates its 20th birthday                                                                                     May 2025

The postsozial association was founded in May 2005 based on a company agreement with the board of the Austrian Post AG and the central works council according to the Association Act 2002. The postsozial association reflects the social responsibility of the Austrian Post towards its employees through additional social benefits that go beyond legal requirements.

The association is non-profit and aims to provide social care for active employees of the Austrian Post and its subsidiaries, as well as for retired employees and the relatives and survivors of employees.

The range of services extends from financial support in cases of extraordinary burdens such as illness or natural disasters, to discounted entry tickets to cultural and sporting events, to affordable vacation offers and offers for childcare during school holidays.

Additionally, postsozial supports health initiatives and leisure activities that serve to prevent illness.

The financial resources are provided by donations amounting to 1% of the wage sums of the Austrian Post AG and its subsidiaries. For the year 2015, this donation amounted to 6.3 million euros. For the year 2026, it is already 10.6 million euros. Furthermore, the association is financed by third-party donations and income from asset management.

The services of postsozial are currently divided into five thematic areas.

  • Travel
  • Meal allowances
  • Financial support
  • Bonus world
  • Children's holiday camps (only during summer vacations)

The association operates its own holiday homes at the locations of Vienna, Bad Kleinkirchheim, Bad Ischl, Strobl, Bad Mitterndorf, Mayrhofen, and Krumpendorf, and offers additional holiday rooms in rented accommodations in the destinations of Bad Schallerbach, Fulpmes, Ischgl, Sölden,  Zell am See, Schladming, Saalbach, and Kitzbühel.

All holiday locations are at the level of a 3-star operation and equipped with fully equipped guest kitchens. Additionally, there are collaborations with reputable hotels in Austria and abroad.

 

Total 2005-2025

Overnight stays: 1,076,867

Meal allowances: 109,296,000 €

Financial support: 13,778,196 €

Pluxee cards can also be used for online purchases starting in 2025         December 3, 2024

At the beginning of the year, Pluxee will perform an upgrade of the nutrition cards. These will no longer be issued as VPay cards but as Visa cards. The essential difference is that the new cards can also be used at online grocery retailers such as Gurkerl.at, Wolt, Foodie Fridge and many more. All previous functions of the cards will remain.

What is happening and why?
Starting in 2025, the VPay food cards from Pluxee will be exchanged for Visa food cards. The new cards can do everything the previous cards could. However, it will also be possible to pay online, e.g., at gurkerl.at, Wolt, Foodie Fridge, etc.

Who is affected and when?
All employees with a virtual or physical Pluxee VPay food card are affected, but not all at once. The cards will be exchanged shortly before the expiration date of the existing card. The first new cards or access data for the new virtual cards will be sent out at the beginning of January 2025 for all cards expiring at the end of January.

What happens exactly?
Employees will receive a new card and a new PIN code several weeks before the expiration of their Pluxee food card (in the case of physical cards) or will receive new access data for their new virtual card.

DON'T FORGET - REDEEM REMAINING BALANCE 2024!

Pluxee meal allowance: Check your remaining balance                                                                   November 21, 2024

At the end of the year, the "Millesime discharge" of meal allowances will come into effect again. This means that your unclaimed meal allowances, which were credited to your app or card by August 31, 2024, will be forfeited.

Thus, these balances will no longer be available for your purchases from January 1, 2025.

There is still plenty of time and opportunity to use your balance, which you can spend until December 31, 2024. Use the tax-free meal allowances that your employer provides - especially in times of rising prices, they have a high value.

If you have problems with digital redemption through the APP, there is always the possibility to order a Pluxee plastic card for a small cost. You can find the order form on this website in the "Meal Allowances" section.

Google Pay is now live for Pluxee cards! This means that your employees can now activate Google Pay for their Pluxee card and pay using their Android smartphone. The advantage is that in case of an Android update, no changes need to be made to the phone after activating Google Pay.

To activate Google Pay, card users must update the Pluxee app. After that, they can simply click on the gear icon under WALLET in the app and register the card for Google Pay via the "Add to Google Pay" button.

Pluxee Pay will be available until October 30, but will no longer be displayed in the Pluxee app once the update has been downloaded.
