State of Kansas KUMC Employee Discount Program

Know of a Vendor?

KU Medical Center wants to make certain its employees get the most out of their hard earned money, which is why the discount program was established. From cell phone carriers to parking at the airport, movie theatre discounts at the popular Legends facility and reduced memberships to Sam’s Club, we understand how important it is to stretch those extra dollars for you and your family. If you have questions regarding our discount program, what is available and how to go about obtaining some spectacular savings, please do not hesitate to ask!

In conjunction with the Kansas State Employee Discount Program, Jayhawk Rewards is a benefit designed to provide state employees with the opportunity to take advantage of their employment with KU Medical Center by receiving discounts on goods and services. Our program will showcase discounts and deals around the Kansas City Metropolitan area that are available to all State of Kansas employees (limitations or restrictions may apply). These discounts may be used solely at the discretion of the employee.

Employee discount information on this website lists available discounts from appropriate vendors, regardless of size or the existence of an official business contract with the State of Kansas. Discount proposals originate from referrals by KU Medical Center employees or by direct contact from a vendor. All offers by vendors are subject to change without notice

The following is a list of discounts available to State of Kansas employees within the Kansas City Metropolitan area. This is not a complete list. For more information on discounts in your area, or for travel through Kansas, please visit the State of Kansas Star website.
