Do you have a blue light card? Is it worth it for you?

What do you use it most for? I didn't use mine much so I scrapped it, but am thinking of getting it again now my kids are into Nandos and I think Nandos is on it.

What else is there?

It is worth it I'd say. Down side is a lot of stores are cracking down on the benefits offered to blue light card holders- Asda is one of them. You definitely get your money back off the £5 you pay for it

Yes, you can't link the BLC to the Asda Rewards app anymore. They stopped it recently (in May I think).

Definitely worth it!
We use it for our supermarket shops, by getting the discounted giftcards then paying with those. Most have a 3.5% ish discount, so £3.50 off every £100 shop means you get your money back in a couple of weeks.

Company Shop
Costco

I have a blue light card but always forget to use it as I never know what places are offering discounts… I guess I need to stop being so rubbish and do my research!

You are me 😂 I am now following this thread!

@shivermetimbers77 get the app and then you can quickly search whatever shop you buying from before your buy

We bought a new car and found the blue light card could save us a few thousand pounds so that was definitely worth it!

Definitely needs regular checking as the offers are always changing which I like. Have had free tickets to Wembley for the women's FA cup final and FA Vase non league final plus I enter the ballots for the good tickets but haven't won any yet! We also got free comedy club tickets for London. Most recently have used the Adidas code for presents and the trainers. Used the wagamamas 20% code last weekkl. And I use the sister app for the rechargeable Sainsbury's e gift card which is now in my Google wallet and you save 3.5% like a pp mentioned. So I top up and it is immediately in my Google wallet to pay with.

I think I underuse it😁! There is so much more available!!!
