The list of places where I can use the card is outdated. I tried contacting support and there is no obvious way to do it over the app. I tried sending an email but nothing happened. So, you really have to try your luck in this app to check whether you can pay in given store

EDIT: the "I am sorry, we have no backtrack of our partners and we tons of emails" tells you a lot about the company companies and solutions. You be the judge

Dear customer,

we apologize if you attempted to use your card at a business that is no longer one of our partners. Unfortunately, merchants do not always notify us when they stop accepting our product.

We are currently experiencing a very high volume of inquiries in our customer service department, which is unfortunately causing delays in processing requests. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Best regards, your Edenred team

An absolutely terrible company. Zero support! They don't reply to emails at all, and on the phone, you only get through to a completely incompetent, useless AI.
Most stores refuse to accept these stupid vouchers, the card won't activate, and the app claims the password is incorrect every time I try to log in. Then, if you change the password (using the "forgot password" function), the whole process starts all over again.

Problem with the delivery of the physical Edenred card

I ordered a physical card in February, but I still haven't received it. I submitted a complaint via the app on March 14, 2026, but unfortunately, I haven't received a response.

In the meantime, I activated the physical card through the app and added it to Apple Pay so I could use it. However, I still need the physical card, for which I've already paid €8.45.

Dear Ms. Heinzel,

Unfortunately, there were technical difficulties with our store locator yesterday. These have been resolved, and the store locator can be used again. We apologise for the inconvenience.

The virtual Edenred City card will be blocked when a physical card is requested. However, the physical card will appear in your user account before you actually physically receive it. As soon as you see this card in your account, you can also add and use it via Apple/Google Pay.

There is a contactless payment limit of €50. This means if you simply hold your physical card at the terminal without entering a PIN, you can make up to four consecutive contactless payments without PIN entry, up to a total of €50. For higher amounts, the card must be inserted into the terminal and the payment confirmed with the PIN.

Regarding our partner network: we are constantly working to expand it. Of course, we want to offer our users partners they desire and where they like to shop. For this reason, we introduced our partner request form. You can submit your desired partners at any time here:

Unreliable, complicated, technical difficulties

I had to deal with this provider for over 2 years now and at this point I loathe using the card, and would rather take a gas voucher or even half the money in cash. My employer uses Edenred to provide small monthly bonuses. The setup of the card was so complicated that several of the older colleagues haven't managed to set up their cards for months. There are hardly any vendors in my region that do accept the card, and of those you can finde on the partner finder on the website, I had a few that actually wont take the card anymore since they claim the fees for the vendor are too high and that they allegedly have stopped taking the card for months, and still those shops are listed on the website to this day. The website and the card are also not very reliable, I had the card fail to work in stores several times and the website itself also wasn't available everytime I needed it. The overlay and navigation on the website is laughably bad, to just login if you enter "edenred login" in Google you need to click on like 5 different things before you can actually log in. The map plugin is also really bad to operate on PC and the smartphone. So far I had more trouble with this bonus card than it was giving me "joy" and me and a bunch of colleagues are very unsatisfied with it.

Dear Customer,

We are sorry that you are not satisfied with our product. We always strive to make things as easy as possible for our customers and users without neglecting legal or security aspects. It is also important to us to offer attractive partners for all users. For this reason, we have our preferred partner form. Please let us know your preferred partner(s) at https://online.edenred.de/wunschpartner/.

Unfortunately, it sometimes happens that companies/stores fail to inform us when they no longer accept our product. As soon as we are notified, we will, of course, remove them from our store locator.

If a payment fails, there can be various reasons. Is the card active and valid? Was there sufficient credit on the card? With contactless payments, it is also necessary to insert the card into the card reader at regular intervals. The reason for the rejection is displayed under "Transactions" in the app and on the portal.

You can also find all information regarding declined transactions in our FAQs at:

One star is honestly too much
Aside from not working properly via app or via the website, this type of meal/cafeteria tickets has the worst UX out of them all. It`s probably easier to break into the bank than to get to your own Edenred account.

I find it so unpleasing that Edenred don't reply to Anfrage, they equally don't pick their calls.
My card expired since December 2025. I have written countless mails, no response. Try calling Edenred shotline but no response. I can't use the money in Edenred card. Thinking of using legal means on them.

Unresponsive customer service

Unresponsive customer service.
I had raised a ticket since my old card expired and didn't get a new one. I received an email saying i should get the virtual mapping by 48 hours. Its been 11 days nothing yet. I tried raising a ticket for this, calls had to wait forever. I have money and unable to use this. Very disappointing. Its been more than 20 days. If there was a minus scale i would be rating that. I got quick reply on trust pilot but still no response to my original ticket.

Dear Mr. Plockinic,

For sustainability reasons, we have consciously decided to issue the cards only virtually. You can add these virtual cards to Apple Pay or Google Pay. We also still offer our users the option to request a physical card.

The virtual card also has other advantages. Firstly, it is provided free of charge to both employers and employees, and secondly, it is usually ready to use immediately.
