Are the blue light cards worth getting?

[Proudcarer6829]

I've heard about it but haven't got one. I've had a quick look online and you pay 4.99 a year which isn't much but just wondering if anyone finds it useful to have?

It will be if you use it.

Free entry to Kew Gardens, so I made my money back on the first use - and discounted entry for one companion too.

25% off in Neal's yard, 15% off in FatFace. Money off Waterstones (but only online).

Definitely. I saved more than the cost of it in one transaction at Go Outdoors.

20% off DS’s expensive trainers at Size

10% off at Morrison’s and Asda atm

barburrito is a favourite one of ours to get 10% off too and I usually ask in other restaurants and have been surprised where has said yes.

I keep an old ID badge in my wallet for those who want to see ID as well and the card/ app

Definitely sounds like it's worth getting. Thanks so much for all your replies!! X

Currently 10% off everything including booze in Asda til the end of January, so I’d say yes.

Yes definitely worth it, I've saved so much the past 18 months and so many more places are accepting it, including supermarkets such as Asda and Morrisons

Yes definitely. My DS has literally saved £100's plus discount everytime at KFC!

Yeah for a fiver you might as well get it you easily make your money back and even save money on things like servicing & MOTs at Halfords.

DH saves a fortune with his. And we've been on days out for blue light card holders only at a discounted price when we ordinarily have struggled to get tickets.

Nearly everywhere offers a discount if you ask as they don't always advertise. Most of our big purchases such as bikes and tents, white goods etc have had good discounts with a card.

I get my contact lenses from Asda and they are included too

I have both the Defence Discount (£5 for 5 years) and Blue Light (£5 for 2 years) and have saved masses.
Not sure about the BLC but I got the Costco membership with DDS card which has saved a fortune in car fuel, amongst many other things.
Worth noting that, one card can get some discounts that the other doesn't, particularly at certain times of year - BLC is good around Xmas and DDS is good around Armed Forces Day and Remembrance

I have just had an email from the Blue Light card with lots of holiday booking discounts for the summer

Yes! Use mine all the time and got some fab discounts! Always check on there before I make a purchase! £5 is nothing compared to what you save x

oh i thought asda was december only, seems they have now included january, so that is good
also sports direct
peacocks
rac,
have a search

DH has one, it saves loads of money on Levis. I think it’s been 30% recently

I use mine all the time. Definitely worth it if you remember to use it. I pretty much never buy anything without checking if I can get a discount.

Yes definitely worth it. I don’t think I can renew mine though …. Bugger

even ex nhs staff can have blue light cards, i thought

Totally worth it . Got £150 off a laptop for my boy , virtually half price truck satnav , saves me a fortune with a kid with an Adidas habit
