Hi has anyone had bargains with their blue light card?
Asda are doing 10% off again.
I've had fab discount at Tog24 even in sale stuff.
Greene king pubs have 20% off food and drinks.

Any others?

Just show it in asda.

JD only do it online which is really annoying and stupid. When I found that out I just told them I'd buy it online instead.

I've just seen Hush are doing 10% for BLC. I'm going to have to sit on my hands.

I can't see Miller and Carter listed, or McDonald's. Do you sometimes just ask if they accept BLC and get a discount, even if it's not listed on the website?

Cookerhood · 29/05/2022 14:04

Sometimes that works, it's worth asking. The offers change all the time.

WreckTangled · 29/05/2022 14:07

I've never used BLC in McDonald's. I use the nhs discount.

20% discount with EE on both phone and sim contracts and you can use on 5 contracts

It’s really easy to use on the app. Just search for the store then click on the deal and your QR code appears.
I got a big discount on AO which is why I joined. Think the annual joining fee is £4.99 and it saved me about £150. I also use it regularly at Prezzo. Got a big discount on a Simba mattress too.

Namechangedforspooky · 29/05/2022 14:16

Just noticed there’s 15% off go ape at the moment too

Asda no longer includes alcohol. Gutted!

I've found that a lot of local places accept the BLC but are not on the app, I went to the Spalding Outlet Shopping Centre and just asked at each store and probably had a 75% hit rate. I was also told that there are more discounts on the website than the app as less people will look there!

I got a good discount for West Midlands Safari Park last year. And as others have said if you self scan at a supermarket, just ask for a member of staff and they'll come over and apply the discount.

Juniper68 · 29/05/2022 20:04

*Dontlickthetrolley I didn't know that about the website.

My daughters love taking me to new look! Also used it at White Stuff, fat face, for cinema tickets, meals out... its just used as a bonus on things I'd be doing anywhere, ie meeting an old friend for dinner, if check and we'd book somewhere where I get a discount.

The McDonald's discount is great too!

BalloonsAndWhistles · 30/05/2022 14:22

I’ve used mine recently at Fat Face, Dorothy Perkins and Peacocks. In total, saved around £35. Recently found out you get money off at Toby carvery when DS’s girlfriend used hers there when we were out.

Arnaquer · 30/05/2022 14:23

Didn't know about Fat Face. Excellent

mycatallowsmetolivehere · 30/05/2022 15:40

I didn't know about McDonalds either !
🙄🤭 so much for the diet lol

Kite22 · 30/05/2022 15:48

I don't have one but my dc does. I think it is just about getting in the habit of asking. A bit like student discounts - they don't tend to be advertised, but if you ask, then you will often get a positive response, and if you don't, you haven't lost anything.
Some places Nando's advertise it then wouldn't accept it as a stand alone card - wanted to see a payslip as well, which people don't tend to carry about with them, even if they still get a paper one, which most people don't.
You certainly get your money back several times over if you take a family to one of the big attractions they partner with.

Footgoose · 30/05/2022 15:51

20 or 25 per cent offSea Salt . Can’t remember exactly .

WreckTangled · 30/05/2022 15:53

Nando's don't accept BLC. They do nhs for online and eat in orders and then police, fire and military eat in.

ProclivityForPyrotechnics · 30/05/2022 16:00

@WreckTangled they do nhs discount if you show your badge at the till

ProclivityForPyrotechnics · 30/05/2022 16:01

I'm not sure you read my post properly Grin

ProclivityForPyrotechnics · 30/05/2022 16:07

@WreckTangled ignore me! I'm coming down from 4 nights !

WreckTangled · 30/05/2022 16:18

I want a Nando's now!

ew1990 · 30/05/2022 23:27

Regarding the McDonald's I'm not sure if it's all of them, there's a few near me but it's just 1 in the centre that offers it,

It's worth an ask though!

Juniper68 · 31/05/2022 14:01

Just been to Ember Inn near us and got 25% off my pornstar martini and nachos. Lovely real cocktail and homemade nachos. Spent about £8.
