It's the money saving scheme which offers discounts to those who work in the NHS, emergency services, social care workers and armed forces. The Blue Light Card was originally brought in during the onset of Covid to help ease the financial burden on those struggling at the sharp end of the pandemic.
The scheme provides money off both online and in-store purchases at a huge range of high street retailers, restaurants, supermarkets, resorts and theme parks. It's long been accepted everywhere from Domino's pizza and Starbucks to Halfords and Alton Towers, and those who prove eligible can pay £4.99 to sign for a two-year membership.
However, shoppers have been taking to social media this week to claim that they'd been told by members of staff at different branches of Asda that the Blue Light discount would be coming to an end there on October 31. This comes just months after the supermarket giant announced it was extending the offer in the face of ongoing cost of living price hikes.
