Need help with Heka? You're in the right place.
Can I use my personal payment card to top up my allowance?
Yes! If you want to spend more than your allowance, you can pay the difference with your card through our secure payment processor, Stripe.
Are services on Heka offered at a discount?
While some services are available at special discounted rates, most offerings are listed at their regular retail price. Please note we are not able to match any temporary promotions the partner may be running on their own website.
Does my unused allowance roll over to the next period?
Yes, your unused allowance does roll over. For specific details about how long your allowance rolls over for, please contact your HR team. If you would like to check what date/s your allowance will expire on, you can find this in your account settings.
How do I update my preferences?
To update your category preferences, go to your account section by clicking the three lines in the top right corner, then select "Preferences" to choose the categories that interest you.
How do I save services for later or hide ones I'm not interested in?
How do Heka's recommendations work?
We use AI to personalise your experience based on:
Can my employer see what specific services I'm booking?
No. All individual bookings remain anonymous. Your employer only receives collective data about popular categories and brands across the team—never information about specific employees or their choices.
How does the booking process work?
Booking processes vary by partner. You'll receive specific instructions on the confirmation page and in your confirmation email. Common scenarios include:
We're currently enhancing our platform to display booking instructions during checkout, making it easier to understand the redemption process before completing your order.
Is Heka a taxable benefit?
Yes, Heka is considered a ‘benefit in kind’ (BIK) and may be subject to tax, depending on how your employer has set things up. For specific details on whether this applies to you and whether tax will apply, it’s best to check in with your HR or People team directly.
I'm put off by the tax, does Heka still offer good value?
Absolutely. We know we’re biased but while Heka may be taxable in some cases, the value you get far outweighs the small tax contribution.
In all cases, you’ll still come out financially ahead compared to the amount of tax paid.
But more importantly, Heka gives you access to a huge range of experiences and support - whether that’s running your first 10k, discovering a new hobby, accessing health tests or scans, or just feeling better, healthier or fitter than ever.
That’s hard to put a price on.
I’m struggling to find an in-person experience that’s local to me - what would you advise?
We understand how important it is to find something convenient and close by. That’s why we’ve partnered with brands that offer experiences across the UK, including:
We recommend visiting these partner websites directly to search by your location and explore what’s available near you. Once you’ve found something you love, just head back to the Heka platform, search for the partner, and purchase your code with your Heka balance. You can then redeem the code directly on the partner’s website.

What is the cancellation policy for in-person classes and services?
If you need to change or cancel your booking, please email sayhello@hekahappy.com, and we'll connect you with the service provider directly.
Each partner maintains their own cancellation and rescheduling policies, which they can confirm with you.
Please note that if your request falls outside of the brand's refund policy, we will not be able to refund either your Heka allowance or any additional personal funds you used for the booking.
How do refunds work for products and services booked through Heka?
Refunds for products and services follow each brand's own refund policy and are at their discretion.
If you'd like to request a refund, please email sayhello@hekahappy.com, and we'll put you in touch with the appropriate brand to process your request.
Please note that if your request falls outside of the brand's refund policy, we will not be able to refund either your Heka allowance or any additional personal funds you used for the booking.
