Depending on how much you spend.

FedPlus – a major benefit for our Fed members, which you can access right away!

It’s a huge collection of discounts that can be applied to your everyday purchases of products and services.

Examples are your weekly grocery shopping, holiday spending, cinemas, restaurants, electronics (i.e. Apple), car servicing, and gym membership.

This benefit alone covers more than a whole year’s Fed membership fee.

*Terms and conditions apply to all benefits. This average member saving is based on a sample of 45 savings calculator entries since 01/08/2024 with repeated entries and the top 20% removed. The average saving figure is correct as of 17/01/2025. Potential savings generated from the calculator are not guaranteed, and are based on you using specific benefits. FedPlus is managed and run for the Federation of Independent Retailers by Parliament Hill Limited.

You can also get a free energy health check for your store with our energy partner. Find out how much your energy bills can be lowered.
