1. Berkshire Hathaway (BRK)
Berkshire Hathaway offers shareholder discounts at its annual shareholders' meeting, held each spring in Omaha, Nebraska. The last meeting was held on May 3rd, 2025. These include discounts at the Nebraska Furniture Mart (NFM), Borsheims, and The Bookworm. The 2025 shareholders' guide explains all the perks.
The Berkshire Hathaway annual shareholders’ meeting is one of the biggest annual events hosted by a publicly listed company. There are no specific requirements to qualify for the discounts other than to be a shareholder.
2. AMC (AMC)
AMC offers shareholder perks through its AMC Investor Connect program. If you are a current stockholder, the company will send you special offers.
If you are an AMC Stubs cardholder, they will add an AMC Investor Connect status badge, which gets you priority lane access, double points on Tuesdays (in addition to Discount Tuesday), and “frequent food and drink offers.”
3. 3M (MMM)
3M has a history of offering shareholder gift boxes for purchase in the fourth quarter of the year. Once a year, shareholders have an opportunity to purchase a gift box with products made by the company and associated brands worth as much as $80. The gift box can be purchased for $27, which translates into $53 worth of free merchandise.
Here's a look at the 3M shareholder holiday box from 2023.
4. Rakuten (RKUNY)
Rakuten offers Rakuten Cash for its shareholders who own at least 100 shares of stock as of December 31 each year. There’s a sliding scale on how much cash you can receive, based on a minimum number of shares at 100, to the maximum benefit for those with over 10,000 shares.
There’s also a time factor, with different payouts for those who have been shareholders for more than five years. Other perks may also be added, including Rakuten Music, Rakuten Magazine, and an NBA Rakuten League Pass (free for three months).
5. Lindt (CHLSY)
Switzerland-based Lindt – the official name of the company is long and difficult to pronounce – is a chocolate-making conglomerate that includes other popular brands, like Ghirardelli and Russell Stover. They offer a sweet perk, but there's a catch.
Lindt will provide a chocolate gift box to any shareholder who attends their annual shareholders’ meeting. But the meeting is held in Switzerland, making it a bit impractical for all but the largest (or closest) shareholders to attend.
6. LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE (LVMU)
LVMH is a Paris, France-based provider of luxury goods. They offer membership in the Shareholders’ Club as a shareholder perk. According to the company, club membership is “tailored to individual shareholders who show a special interest in what is happening at the group, (the Club) gives its members a better understanding of LVMH, its businesses, and its brands.”
Membership benefits include visits to exceptional sites, from Hennessy’s centuries-old cellars to the magnificent crayeres at Veuve Clicquot, and more. However, they don’t indicate the specific requirements shareholders must meet to qualify.
7. Crimson Wine Group (CWGL)
Crimson Wine Group provides shareholders with 20% off select wines, as well as two complimentary tastings at any of their tasting rooms. Their various wine brands include Pine Ridge Vineyards, Seghesio Family Vineyards, Archery Summit Winery, Chamisal Vineyards, Seven Hills Winery, Malene, and Double Canyon. All are US-based brands.
8. Whirlpool (WHR)
Whirlpool reportedly offers discounts of up to 30% on merchandise from the company's home appliance brands. These include KitchenAid, everydrop, Maytag, Amana, Gladiator, affresh, and of course, Whirlpool products themselves.
One of the advantages of the discount is that you can qualify if you own only a single share of stock.
Perks are offered through Tiicker.
9. iRobot (IRBT)
iRobot reportedly offers at least two different discount plans for shareholders. Under the first, you can save as much as $50 on select products if you have owned at least one share of stock for at least 12 weeks.
But if you own at least 500 shares, you’ll be eligible for up to $90 in discounts on select merchandise.
Perks are offered via Tiicker.
10. WeWork (WE)
WeWork partnered with Stockperks to offer its shareholders flexible office space perks. Shareholders will receive three complementary workspace day passes to hundreds of WeWork On Demand locations in major cities around the world.
To be eligible, you must own at least one share of stock in the company. Available locations are primarily in the US and Canada.
11. Wallbox
Wallbox makes chargers for electric cars. Stockholders can get 10% off Wallbox Pulsar Plus EV Charging Station if they have at least 100 shares of stock for at least one month. They can get 15% off if they have at least 200 shares for at least three months.
Perks are issued through Stockperks.
12. Bloomsbury Publishing (BMY)
UK-based Bloomsbury Publishing is a global publishing company. If you own one or more shares of company stock, you’ll be eligible for a special discount of 35% off all books published by Bloomsbury.
But at a current share price of $403, you probably won’t want to purchase the stock just to get a discount on a handful of books.
13. 1-800-Flowers
Stockholders of 1-800-Flowers can receive 25% off a special collection of flowers, and 20% off the family of brands, which includes:

- Shari's Berries
- Personalization Mall

15. Royal Caribbean Cruises (RCL)
Royal Caribbean Cruises offers a stateroom credit to its shareholders, similar to Carnival Cruise Lines. If you own at least 100 shares of stock in the company, then you will be eligible for the following credits:
16. Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCLH)
If you own at least 100 shares of Norwegian Cruise Lines stock, you’ll be eligible for an on-board credit per stateroom based on the length of your cruise:

Intercontinental Hotels Group offers discounts to its shareholders – reportedly worth up to 20% – at company properties, based on availability when you have 100 shares or more. The requirements to qualify are pretty specific, though.
For example, you must be an ordinary shareholder holding your shares in certified form, in your sole name, with the Company Registrar. The discount is available through a dedicated control access website, with details provided in company mailings to shareholders.
The IHG chain includes Crown Plaza, Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express, and Staybridge Suites, along with several other hotel brands.
18. Online Vacation Center (ONVC)
Online Vacation Center is an online travel agency specializing in cruises and hotel bookings. The company is currently offering shareholders and their referrals 5% cash back rewards on each cruise purchased through the company.

Aterian offers a range of product categories, including home appliances, kitchenware, and essential oils. In fact, the company offers more than 2,000 products.
