Campaigns, tips and useful links

We examine the market for current good offers.

There is fierce competition on the market for A-kasse and trade unions. At the same time, in recent years there have been additional opportunities to purchase various "additional services" to the traditional insurance against unemployment benefits (A-kasse membership) or the normal trade union membership.
This can e.g. revolve around "supplementary salary insurance", insurances, and cheap legal help (as an alternative to a trade union).

In addition, the A-kasser that also offer a trade union, in connection with their trade union, offer a number of discounts, cheap holiday homes, access to events, cultural and sports events etc.

Due to this development, it is becoming more and more common for the A-kasser or trade unions to run campaigns or special offers, and we show below the offers that we currently consider are the best for employees, self-employed and students respectively.

Before you register by clicking on the link/logo in connection with our review of the campaign, you must ensure that you can be admitted to the A-kasse or the trade union.
In our overview of all A-kasser you can see if you can become a member.
Furthermore, it is your own responsibility to check that the campaign offers are still valid on the day you sign up.
