This week it was announced that Asda will reinstate its discount to Blue Light Card holders, giving money off to those working in the NHS, emergency services, social services, social care sector and Armed Forces.
Card holders will be able to receive 10 per cent off certain products and services, including food and soft drinks, George clothing and homeware, toys, gifts and optical services, in all Asda stores across the UK when they present their Blue Light Card at the checkout. The supermarket has also removed its 12-week qualifying period for staff discount in stores and online until October 2022, so new recruits can save 10 per cent on their shopping from their very first day of employment.
But, while this is good news for Blue Light Card holders, there are still restrictions to what shoppers can use their discount for as some items are not included. For a start, the hefty fuel prices we currently see across the country won't be made any more manageable by a Blue Light discount.
