Spokane: Passport Finds for an Easier Fall

Fall plans can include a little of everything: replacing a missing thermometer, getting the heat checked and finding somewhere to take the family when outdoor plans fall through.

Every employee with BHT benefits has access to Passport. These offers give you a few ways to use it in Spokane and nearby communities, along with online options for groceries, meals and household supplies.

1. Get a few things ready for sick days

When someone gets sick, even a grocery run can be hard to manage. It helps to know what supplies you have and how you’ll handle meals if your usual routine gets interrupted.

Instacart+ offers 50% off membership for one year. It may be useful if grocery delivery is something your household uses regularly. You can order food and household supplies from participating stores, with availability based on your address. The offer reduces the membership cost; groceries, service fees, taxes and tips are separate.

If you have young children, look through your care supplies before buying replacements. Safety 1st offers 15% off sitewide, stackable with sale prices, on products such as thermometers, nasal aspirators and baby care kits. Compare the final total, including shipping, especially for a small order.

Factor is another option for weeks when you’d appreciate having meals already prepared. Passport offers 55% off the first box and 15% off the next 51 boxes. Meals arrive ready to heat, but deliveries need to be planned ahead. The offer requires an eligible new or returning customer and an auto-renewing subscription. Discounts vary by plan, and premium meals, upgrades and taxes are excluded.

2. Keep a few indoor outings in mind

An indoor outing can be as simple as a game of bowling or a public-skating session. Several local Passport offers let you bring someone along for less.

Eagles Ice Arena offers a free regularly priced public-skating admission when you buy another. You can use the offer for up to six admissions: three paid and three free. Bring your Passport membership and check the session schedule and skate-rental costs before heading out.

At Players & Spectators in Spokane Valley, you can buy one bowling game, miniature-golf round or bumper-car ride and receive another free. The offer is limited to one of each attraction per visit and can’t be combined with other offers. It’s a way to try a couple of activities without planning a whole day around them.

For readers closer to Cheney, Cheney Lanes offers 20% off bowling. Show your Passport membership to receive the discount.

3. Check on the heat before the weather turns colder

If your heating system is due for maintenance or needs a repair, Smith Heating & Cooling offers 15% off service. The Spokane provider handles furnace maintenance and repairs, along with other heating work.

There’s also a 10% discount on new equipment installation for households already planning a replacement. When you request a quote, mention Passport and ask how the offer applies to the work you need.

4. Put your benefit toward needed car maintenance

Car repairs can take a noticeable bite out of the budget. If you already have work to schedule, checking Passport is a simple step before choosing a shop.

Lloyd’s Automotive offers 15% off parts and labor. Listed services include oil changes, brakes, tire service and other repairs. Open the Passport listing to find a participating location, and mention your membership when asking for an estimate.

Valvoline Instant Oil Change offers 15% off services at the locations shown in Passport. If you’re due for an oil change or other routine maintenance, compare the discounted total for your vehicle before deciding where to go.

You can start with one thing that’s already on your calendar or to-do list. Check its Passport offer before you buy or book, confirm the current terms, and have your membership ready when you redeem it.
