Asda has announced a major change to its discounts available to thousands of shoppers. Customers who have a Blue Light card registered on the store's Rewards app have been told many products will no longer qualify for the 10% discount it had offered.
The Blue Light card offers discounts at thousands of stores including Asda to those who work in the emergency services such as nurses and doctors, the NHS, social care and armed forces. But while Asda used to include the majority of its products in the discount scheme - including homeware, clothing, non-fresh foods, pet products, household goods and toys - it has now said it is cutting out many sections of its products.
This is the second change within the past few weeks as last month Blue Light members were told to receive the benefit they would have to register it through its Rewards app. It means members no longer have to show their card and ID in store to receive the saving but instead the discount is paid into a Cashpot on the store Reward app when it is scanned at the checkout. The amount can then be used as a voucher towards a future shop.
