You are a FDSEA or FNSEA member and regularly rent equipment from Loxam. It’s natural to wonder whether the Moisson card and the Loxam loyalty card can be used together to reduce your rental bills. The answer requires a little clarification, because these two schemes work in different ways.
Moisson card and Loxam program: two distinct approaches
The Moisson card is a membership card for the FDSEA and FNSEA union network. It gives members access to discounts negotiated with local and national partners. These cover everything from professional supplies to leisure activities, household appliances and holidays.
The Loxam loyalty program, on the other hand, is a rewards scheme run by the rental company. It is aimed at regular customers, both businesses and individuals, and offers benefits based on rental volume.
The key point is that these two cards are managed by different organizations. The Moisson card is managed by the FNSEA network through the carte-moisson.fr platform. The Loxam program is administered directly by Loxam branches. Neither scheme explicitly mentions compatibility with the other in its general terms and conditions available online. To better understand the benefits of the Moisson card, first check whether Loxam is listed among the partners in your department.
Combining the Moisson card and Loxam loyalty benefits: what we really know
You may have read that the benefits can be combined. In reality, no official source formally confirms that they can be combined. FDSEA departmental pages describe the Moisson card and its partners. Loxam pages describe its loyalty program. Neither mentions the other scheme.
Why the uncertainty? Because the Moisson card works through a network of partners that varies from one department to another. In some FDSEA departments, Loxam may be listed as a partner with a dedicated discount. In others, no such partnership exists.
A Moisson discount at Loxam does not mean the benefits can automatically be combined
Even if Loxam is listed among the Moisson partners in your department, the Moisson discount and Loxam loyalty benefits are two separate mechanisms. A rental company may accept the discount associated with the Moisson card without allowing it to be combined with the tiers in its own loyalty program.
What to do: contact your local Loxam branch and your departmental FDSEA directly. Only they can confirm whether a Moisson offer is available in your area and whether it can be combined with the loyalty program.
Checking compatibility: practical steps
Before presenting both cards at the counter, make a few checks. The Moisson card is issued in the cardholder’s name and valid for a specific year, which means it must be valid for the current year.
- Log in to carte-moisson.fr using the code on your card and search for Loxam in your department’s partner directory
- If Loxam is listed, note the exact terms of the discount offered (percentage, eligible equipment, validity periods)
- Call your Loxam branch to ask whether this partner discount can be applied in addition to any loyalty status you may have, or whether it replaces it
This takes just a few minutes and helps you avoid an unpleasant surprise when you receive your bill.
Why terms vary from one department to another
The Moisson card was created in 2005 by the FDSEA of Marne and later expanded nationwide by the FNSEA. Each departmental federation negotiates its own partnerships. Offers are not the same from one department to another.
An FNSEA 63 member will not have the same partners as a member of the FDSEA of Somme. This is also why it is impossible to give a single answer about combining the benefits with Loxam: it all depends on the local agreement.
Making the most of equipment rentals as an FDSEA member
Whether or not the benefits can be combined in your department, a few simple steps can help you get the most out of both schemes.
Always compare discounts before confirming a rental. If the Moisson card offers a discount on a specific type of equipment at Loxam, check whether it is better than what you would get through your loyalty status alone. In some cases, the Loxam program may offer better value for long-term rentals.
- Ask for one quote with the Moisson discount and another at the Loxam loyalty rate, then compare them
- Ask about Loxam’s occasional promotions (partial reimbursement campaigns are available at certain times of the year)
- Check whether other equipment rental companies are listed among your department’s Moisson partners so you have a point of comparison
The goal is not necessarily to combine discounts at all costs, but to choose the best option for the type of rental. A Moisson discount may be more attractive for a one-off rental, while the Loxam loyalty program offers greater rewards for regular customers.
Whether the Moisson card and Loxam program can be combined is a question that must be settled locally, branch by branch and department by department. No publicly available official document guarantees that the benefits can always be combined. The best approach is to ask both organizations directly before each significant rental, with a valid Moisson card in hand.
