Sweden runs on memberships. Join a trade union, enrol at a university, start a job or reach retirement age, and a set of discounts and benefits quietly attaches itself to you. Most of them are never advertised in English, and many are never claimed at all.
This section explains how those benefits work, in English, for people living and working in Sweden who do not read Swedish. We describe what each type of benefit is, who provides it and where to check the current terms. We do not publish discount percentages or campaign offers, because those change constantly and a number that has gone stale is worse than no number at all. Instead we link the provider’s own page, which is always the authoritative source.
The Swedish-language side of this site covers the same ground for Swedish readers.
