Asda is to reinstater its offer of 10% off in stores to Blue Light Card holders. Following the announcement on Wednesday that UK inflation is now at 9%, Asda has taken further action to support its customers and colleagues in managing their household costs by offering extended discounts.
Workers in the NHS, Emergency Services, Social Services, Social care sector and armed forces, will be able to access 10% discount in all Asda’s stores across the UK when they present their Blue Light Card until further notice. Food and soft drinks, George clothing and homeware, toys, gifts and optical are all included in the offer. Blue Light Card holders will receive their discount by presenting their card at checkout.
In a further move to support their colleagues, the supermarket has also removed the 12-week qualifying period for Colleague Discount in stores and online until October 2022, meaning new recruits will be able save 10% on their shopping with the supermarket from their first day of employment. Asda recruits around 2000 new starters each month and with no cap on how much colleagues can spend using their discount card, the benefit is worth around £400 per year to colleagues.
