How can we help you?
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.
How do I know which cards are about to expire?
Three months before the cards expire, you will receive an e-mail informing you of the cards to be renewed and the steps to follow.
You can consult the list of expiring cards in your online customer area, or via a file we'll send you.
If you need to exclude certain cards (for example, for employees who have left the company), you can do so directly online or by sending us back the pre-filled Excel file.This will enable you to know exactly which cards are due to expire and act accordingly.
Can I deactivate some cards before renewal?
Yes, you can deactivate some cards before renewal.
Three months before expiration, you will receive an e-mail enabling you to select the cards to be excluded from renewal (for example, for employees who have left the company). This selection can be made directly in your online customer area, or by sending us back a pre-filled Excel file.
If no action is taken, all cards will be renewed automatically.
What does the card look like and how does it work?
This is what the Pluxee Lunch card looks like:

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

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 may be allocated to a part-time employee?
An employee may legally be entitled to one lunch voucher per day of work if he or she has worked for at least four hours during the day. In many companies the allocation of lunch vouchers is in proportion to the number of hours worked as a percentage of full-time. This decision remains at the sole discretion of the employer.
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.
