Ticket-resto card holders are forced to stick to an addition of 25 euros at the restaurant, the amount of the ceiling not to be exceeded. However, it is possible to cross the limit in a single transaction, thanks to a trick that we reveal to you.
Change for your lunch break since this Saturday, October 1st. In fact, the ceiling titres-restaurants has been enhanced. The maximum amount of food products payable by restaurant ticket therefore goes from 19 euros to 25 euros per working day.
Since August 18, the use of restaurant vouchers has been extended to the purchase of all food products, even if they are not directly consumable (flour, pasta, rice, eggs, fish, meat, etc.) . This measure had been adopted as part of the finance bill to support the purchasing power of the French and was to be implemented on September 1.
However, even if the ceiling increases, it remains insufficient for some. Here is an unstoppable trick to overcome it.
Link your bank card and your ticket restaurant account
Indeed, rather than paying with two cards if you have exceeded 25 euros, the Edenred ticket-restaurant card application lets you link your bank card to your ticket restaurant account.
To do this, nothing could be simpler: all you have to do is enter your bank details in the application, your restaurant ticket card is “uncapped” and allows you to pay up to 50 euros extra per bill (capped at 150 euros per month for the moment), by debiting the “excess” from your bank account, explains Konbini.
Beyond Edenred, Sodexo and Swile also allow you to associate your restaurant ticket card with your bank account, indicates The Internet Journal.
For Sodexo, you can complete your payments beyond the daily limit with your credit card up to 30 euros per bill. You will be able to pay up to €49 with your Restaurant Pass card alone for your shopping in eligible shops and restaurants, as explained on the website.
The additional payment works with a minimum of one cent of the balance on your Pass Restaurant card. It works exclusively on products eligible for payment by restaurant voucher, even on the part financed by your bank card.
