Businesses around the world are coming together to support the incredible individuals working on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic. They’re showing their appreciation by offering deals, discounts and donations for medical personnel and essential workers, including firefighters, grocery clerks, and more. Over the last week, I’ve been scouring the Internet for these discounts, and have pulled together what I believe to be one of the most comprehensive lists of deals available to these essential personnel.

But that’s not all. There are also a ton of brands just trying to survive right now. Given the world’s impending recession, they’re offering a heap of discounts on their websites available to everyone, non-essential workers included. So if you’re looking to pump some money back into the economy (or just go in for a good, old-fashioned online shopping binge in your umpteenth hour of quarantine), Part II of the below list is for you.

Of course, these are hard times for everyone. So while supporting these businesses may be an option for some, I also recognize how many unemployment claims have been filed across the world since this pandemic started. Do with this information what you’d like: use it, or pass it along to someone who might find it useful. And above all, stay safe and well!

Two things before you scroll: First, most of these perks apply in the US, unless otherwise noted. A great list of Singapore discounts and perks can be found here and here, and a list of hotels offering discounts to frontline workers in Singapore is here. The mirror also has a great list of discounts for NHS frontline workers, which can be found here. Second, I’ll be updating this list regularly as more brands announce deals and donations (and as I receive suggestions). This list was last updated 2 May.
