Losing your MultiSport card? These perks and benefits are healthy alternatives

If you use your MultiSport card several times a week, don’t take it for granted. Some Czech companies are unexpectedly losing access to the popular employee benefit, leaving thousands of workers scrambling to fill the gap.

MultiSport Benefit, the provider of fitness cards used by over 300,000 people, has recently ended contracts with several firms, often without clear warning. One affected company, Elisabeth Pharmacon, told Czech media outlet Seznam Zprávy their agreement was terminated without explanation, even though employees used the card on average just three times a week.

MultiSport denies usage is the sole reason for contract cancellations, but admits that excessive use, especially if it raises suspicions of card-sharing or non-compliance, can trigger reviews.

“Frequency of use itself is never a reason for terminating the contract,” said company director Miroslav Rech. “But it can be one of the parameters, especially when there’s reasonable suspicion of a violation.”
