This year’s new savings: NEA Member Benefits added three programs this year: a credit union, deep college tuition discounts and an everyday savings program.  

• NEA Credit Union: This online banking platform is built for educators, with high-yield checking and savings as well as auto loans and mortgages.  

• NEA College Benefit Program: Enjoy steep discounts (up to 40%!) on tuition for certificates, bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs. There are no application fees and classes are 100% online, with multiple start dates throughout the year.  

• NEA Shop & Dine: Get restaurant discounts, discounted digital gift cards for major stores, and cash back at hundreds of retailers.  

Heading for retirement: The NEA Magazine Service, which provided members with two free magazine subscriptions per year, is closing because the company that provided it has folded.  

Use it or lose it: NEA Member Benefits regularly updates, expands and retires benefits based on their popularity. If you truly use and love a particular benefit, make it known!
