Employee discounts open doors on good deals
posted November 24th, 2008
JoAnn Kempel and her husband, Ken, visited Biltmore in Asheville twice during the holidays and once in the spring. And they plan on visiting again on New Year's Day.
Employee discounts, available to Duke faculty and staff, made it possible.
"The architecture is just so impressive," said Kempel, an administrative assistant for the Department of Biochemistry. "I love the details, the gargoyles. My husband enjoys the exhibit that shows how Biltmore was constructed."
The largest privately owned home in the U.S., Biltmore's 250-room French-style chateau is a popular attraction. Kempel bought her tickets through Duke's PERQS program.
Through Duke's discount, faculty and staff save $9 on adult admission. Children under 10 are admitted free of charge.
That's just one of many discounts. Find out more by going to http://www.hr.duke.edu/discounts or reading posts from resident savings expert "Dr. Discount" at http://inside.dukemedicine.org
