The world of employee benefits can sometimes feel like a treasure hunt, right? Especially when you're trying to figure out how to leverage those awesome discounts and perks you've earned as an H-E-B Partner. If you've been wondering how to seamlessly integrate your H-E-B Partner Perks with the convenience of the H-E-B app, you've come to the right place! This guide will walk you through everything you need to know, step-by-step, to unlock your savings and make your shopping experience even more rewarding.
Unlocking Your H-E-B Partner Perks: A Comprehensive Guide to App Integration
As an H-E-B Partner, you have access to a fantastic "Valued Partner Perks" program, offering a 10% discount on all H-E-B Own Brand products, plus other special offers. While the physical Partner Discount Card is essential for in-store purchases, connecting your perks to the H-E-B app can streamline your savings and provide a more integrated digital shopping experience.
Let's dive into how you can make the most of your Partner Perks within the H-E-B digital ecosystem.
Step 1: Confirm Your Partner Perks Eligibility and Card Status
Before you can link anything to the app, you need to ensure you're fully set up with your H-E-B Partner Perks. Are you ready to start saving?
1.1 Receiving Your Partner Discount Card
When you become an H-E-B Partner, you should automatically receive one Partner discount card by mail. You also have the option to request one additional card for a qualified family member.
If you haven't received your card, or need an additional one: You can request it by calling H-E-B Partner Services at 210-938-7555 (or toll-free at 1-800-597-0653) or by visiting

1.2 Registering Your Partner Discount Card
This is a crucial step! All Partner discount cards, whether yours or for a family member, must be registered before use.
How to register: You can register your card either by phone at 210-938-7555 (or toll-free at 1-800-597-0653) or online at

Step 2: Downloading and Setting Up Your H-E-B Apps
H-E-B offers a couple of key apps for Partners. While the "My H-E-B" app is for general customer shopping, the "PartnerNet H-E-B" app is specifically designed for employees. To fully utilize your perks, you'll likely interact with both.
2.1 The "My H-E-B" App
This is your primary shopping app, where you'll browse products, clip digital coupons, and manage curbside or delivery orders.
Download:
For iOS (Apple App Store): Search for "My H-E-B" or text "APP" to 83381 to receive a direct link.
For Android (Google Play Store): Search for "My H-E-B" or text "APP" to 83381 to receive a direct link.
Create or Log In to Your H-E-B Account: If you don't already have one, create an https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com account. If you do, simply log in. Ensure this account is linked to your email and phone number that H-E-B has on file for you as a Partner. This often helps in the linking process.
2.2 The "PartnerNet H-E-B" App
This app is specifically for H-E-B Partners and provides access to various employee-specific features, including information about your perks.
Download:
For iOS (Apple App Store): Search for "PartnerNet H-E-B".
For Android (Google Play Store): Search for "PartnerNet H-E-B".
Alternatively, H-E-B advises Partners to follow specific instructions at
pnet.heb.com/app
Log In: You'll typically log in to the PartnerNet app using your H-E-B PartnerNet credentials.
Step 3: Linking Your Partner Perks to the My H-E-B App (The Core of the Process)
This is where the magic happens! While the exact steps can sometimes vary with app updates, the general process involves connecting your physical Partner Discount Card to your digital H-E-B account.
3.1 Accessing the Linking Feature
Check the "My H-E-B" App: Open your "My H-E-B" app. Navigate to the "Account" section or a similar menu item (often represented by a profile icon or three horizontal lines). Look for options like "Partner Perks," "Manage Your Card," "Link Account," or "Employee Discount."

3.2 The Linking Process
When you find the linking option, you'll typically be prompted to:
Enter your Partner Discount Card Number: This is the unique number found on your physical H-E-B Partner Discount Card. Double-check for accuracy!
Confirm your https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com Account: The system will verify that you're logged into your https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com account (the one you use for the "My H-E-B" app).
Verification (if needed): In some cases, you might be asked for additional verification, such as your Partner ID or other personal information to confirm your employment status.
3.3 Utilizing Partner Text Alerts for Early Access
Some Partners have reported that you can get early access to your discount through the "My H-E-B" app before your physical card arrives by signing up for Partner text alerts.
How to do it (if applicable):
Ensure you are signed up for Partner text alerts.
Text the word "CARD" to 54694.
Follow the instructions you receive via text message. This might provide a temporary barcode or guide you to a specific section within the "My H-E-B" app to access your discount digitally.
Step 4: Confirming Your Perks Are Active in the App
Once you've completed the linking process, it's essential to verify that your Partner Perks are recognized within the "My H-E-B" app.
4.1 Checking Your Digital Wallet/Barcodes
In the "My H-E-B" app, look for a section related to your "digital wallet," "loyalty cards," or "account barcode." You should see an option to display your Partner Discount barcode there.
This barcode is what you'll typically scan at checkout to apply your 10% discount on H-E-B Own Brand products.
4.2 Observing Discount Application
For online orders (Curbside/Delivery): When placing an online order through the "My H-E-B" app, add some H-E-B Own Brand products to your cart. As you proceed to checkout, you should see the 10% discount automatically applied to eligible items. If you don't, revisit Step 3.
For in-store shopping with the app: While your physical card is the primary method in-store, having the barcode in your app as a backup is useful. When using the self-checkout or a cashier, present the digital barcode from your "My H-E-B" app.
Step 5: Exploring Additional Partner Perks (Beyond the 10% Discount)
H-E-B Partners have access to more than just the in-store 10% discount. Don't leave money on the table!
5.1 PerkSpot - A Hub of Discounts
H-E-B utilizes a platform called PerkSpot to offer Partners a wide array of discounts from various retailers and service providers. These often include savings on:
Cell phone plans (e.g., AT&T, T-Mobile for H-E-B employees)
Travel
Electronics
Entertainment
And much more!
5.2 Accessing PerkSpot
Via PartnerNet: The easiest way to access PerkSpot is through the PartnerNet portal (which you can often access via the "PartnerNet H-E-B" app or the web).
Search for "PerkSpot" within PartnerNet. You'll typically find a direct link there to set up your PerkSpot account. You'll need to create a separate account on the PerkSpot platform, using the link provided through PartnerNet to verify your H-E-B affiliation.
5.3 Staying Updated on New Perks
Regularly check PartnerNet and your PerkSpot account for new and updated offers. H-E-B frequently adds new benefits and discounts for its Partners.
Keep an eye on internal H-E-B communications for announcements about new or special Partner Perks events.
Troubleshooting Tips for Partner Perks and App Integration
Ensure you have the latest version of both the "My H-E-B" and "PartnerNet H-E-B" apps. App updates often include bug fixes and new features.
Clear your app's cache and data if you're experiencing issues. This can sometimes resolve unexpected glitches.
Restart your phone. A simple reboot can often fix temporary software problems.
Double-check your login credentials for both your https://www.google.com/search?q=H-E-B.com account and your PartnerNet account.
Contact H-E-B Partner Services: If you're still having trouble, the H-E-B Partner Services team is your best resource. They can directly assist with card registration, linking issues, and any questions about your benefits. Their number is 210-938-7555 (or toll-free at 1-800-597-0653).
Visit your store's administrative office: Sometimes, an in-person visit to your store's administrative office can help resolve linking or card issues, as they may have direct resources or contacts.
