Can I accept the Pluxee Lunch card on my online store?

Yes.

As the Pluxee Lunch card is a VISA card, it offers the same technical features as a classic VISA card with regard to online payments.

All we need to do is retrieve the merchant ID linked to your online store and add it to our systems for online payments to be activated.

What are the advantages for me to accept the card compared to paper vouchers?

The card has many advantages for the merchant:

  • Speed ​​at checkout: using the card for the payment greatly reduces the time spent at the checkout since it is no longer necessary to count or stamp checks; nor to give change since the transaction takes place to the penny.
  • Security: there is no longer any risk of loss or theft of paper vouchers that may occur during storage or when sending to Pluxee.
  • Efficiency and management: there is no longer any risk of accepting expired vouchers or counting errors, nor is it necessary to provide a secure room to store the vouchers, nor any costs for sending the checks at Pluxee.

What types of merchants can accept the Pluxee Lunch card?

Restaurants, pizzerias, fast foods, pastries and all shops whose main activity is the supply of ready-to-eat food equipped with a POS and having an agreement with Pluxee for the acceptance of the Pluxee Lunch card.

What is Apple Pay?

Apple Pay is a mobile payment solution. You can pay contactless in a store or restaurant with your iPhone or Apple Watch via NFC.

All you have to do is hold your iPhone or Apple Watch in front of the contactless reader, follow instructions on the payment terminal.

If an employee has an issue with his/her card (lost, damaged, forgot PIN, etc.) what must be done?

In the Pluxee App, consumers can temporarily suspend their card.

To definitely block their card in case of theft, damaged or loss, they should contact our consumer service by email at consumers.lu@pluxeegroup.com or by calling us at (+352) 28 76 15 00 from Monday to Friday from 9am to 5:30pm and selecting option 2 (cardholder).


The same applies for any enquiries PIN related.

As an employer, how do I deduct the lunch vouchers in my accounting?

The lunch voucher is fully tax-deductible as operating expense. What’s more, it’s exempt from any social charges. It’s also an ideal form of complementary remuneration and a motivational tool.

Which types of company can benefit from lunch vouchers?

All businesses with one employee or more can benefit from them irrespective of their size or business sector. All your company’s employees can have access to lunch vouchers. It’s a motivation solution that’s effective from the first employee and that pleases everyone, at every level of the business.

How much can I spend with my Pluxee Lunch card?

As of the 1st of January 2024 and following the update of the Grand-Duchy regulation dating from the 29th of December 1986, the daily expense limit has been set to 5 times the face value of a lunch voucher. If you do not know the face value of your vouchers, please contact your employer. Your daily spending limit also appears in your Pluxee mobile application or web portal, in the "Wallet" tab.

Below are some examples of daily limits depending on the face value of your vouchers:

Face value of a voucher

Daily spending limit

8,40€

42€/day

10,80€

54€/day

15€

75€/day

Should I control the daily spending limit for consumers?

No, this control is done directly and automatically by Pluxee. If a consumer tries to exceed their daily limit, the transaction will be rejected. Depending on the terminal, it may indicate "insufficient balance" as the reason. 

What does the card look like and how does it work?

This is what the Pluxee Lunch card looks like:

Carte pluxee Lunch LUX

For the moment we have still some valid Sodexo cards on the market, you can continue to accept them as well:

carte sodexo

It is a VISA DEBIT card that works like a classic VISA card: it has a chip for contactless payments and also allows secure online payment.

The card only works in Luxembourg, at affiliated points of sale.

How many Lunch vouchers can be distributed per person?

The Grand Ducal Regulation of 29 December 1986 allows one lunch voucher to be granted for every day actually worked.

In practice, and with a view to administrative simplification, it is agreed to allocate a flat number of vouchers per month and per person in accordance with the following calculation:


52 weeks x 5 working days
= 260 working days
- 26 days leave
- 11 public holidays
- 5 fixed compensation days off

= 218 lunch vouchers per year
or 18 lunch vouchers per month x 12 months

How long does it take to activate my devices?

From the moment we receive your signed contracts, activation generally takes less than 24 hours.

This of course depends on the number of points of sale to be activated.

How long does it take to receive the transaction amount?

Unlike paper vouchers, Pluxee is not responsible for refunding your transactions when they take place with the card.

The refund is made by your payment service provider (SIX, Worldline, ServiPay, BSPayone, etc.) and the speed of the refund depends on the terms agreed with the latter.

How does the Pluxee Lunch card work?

The Pluxee Lunch card works like a credit card. The card is accepted in the shops with a contract with Pluxee and equipped with POS. To validate the transactions you need to enter a PIN code. The card works on POS supporting contactless technology, for mobile payment also. To unblock the contactless payment feature, you need to make a first transaction with your PIN. It is preferable to keep receipts if the transaction is cancelled on the same day.
