NHS, Emergency Services, Social Services, Social care sector and armed forces can get the 10% Asda Blue Light Card discount bonus
Asda has announced that Blue Light Card holders will receive 10% discount through the supermarket’s Asda Rewards app.
The change, which is effective from the 4th of May, means that cardholders will continue to get 10% off their shopping in-store simply by scanning their Asda Rewards app at the checkout, rather than presenting their Blue Light Card and ID, as was previously the case.
Blue Light Card holders who scan their Asda Rewards app in-store for the first time between 4th May and 31st May, will also receive a £2.50 bonus in their Cashpots, deposited in June.
Asda Rewards provides customers with the chance to earn pounds, rather than points, each time they purchase certain products or complete a milestone mission. More than four million customers use the Rewards app every month and have accrued over £70m in their Cashpots, which they can spend to reduce their grocery bills.
Tom Dalby, CEO at Blue Light Card, said: “We are really proud of our partnership with Asda and know how much our members have enjoyed using the discount. Asda has always done so much to show its appreciation to NHS staff and other frontline workers, and the continuation of this partnership will support millions of blue light workers across the country.
Since last May, our members have saved a phenomenal £128 million when shopping at Asda, and I hope the extension of the 10% discount, plus the added benefits of using the Rewards app, will continue to help families and individuals across the UK during the cost-of-living crisis.”
Previously Blue Light cardholders had to show their ID at the till to be able to get the offer; however, after an extension, this ended in April 2023.
