Blue Light Card...what bargain/s have you got lately?

I was browsing Vinted looking for a long coat. Gave up because of the new weird sizing. So thought I'd look at New Look. Found a few nice coats and with 15% off code I got a new coat for £44. Plus if it doesn't fit can easily take it back. New Look is at our nearest town. I got free click and collect.

Anyone else got a bargain?

Private sector care workers?

Yes. So you are eligible after all; no need for your disingenuous OP.

Originally I was just asking a question about discount sites - many sites that don't specifically discount public sector employees are still weighted in their favour. This was a reply to someone like you who got shirty with my question.
Are you insinuating that all private sector workers are un-ethical?
You do understand that all money to pay for the public sector originally comes from the private sector? (And yes I know you pay tax and the public sector buys from the private etc......)
The reason your pension is so good is because your bankrupt employer just dibs into the tax pot when they need a bit of extra cash - a perk not given to private sector firms.
60% of workers are employed by private sector SME's so we're not all working for mega profit multi-nationals either.
I do sometimes wonder why such a thing is made of public sector workers being more worthy than private sector considering that without the lowly private sector workers we wouldn't have a public sector at all.

That wasn’t me getting shirty 😂 Just makes me chuckle when people have a moan without doing their research… quite ironic really wasn’t it! 😉

What research? I'm not entitled.

I regularly use it for benefit makeup, sweaty Betty, new look, Starbucks, just saved 10% off at lululemon. In fact I coordinate my purchases so I can use it as often as possible

Ooh I didn’t know about Benefit. Does anybody know if it can be used in the Boots concessions?

I literally check every shop on there before making a purchase and if it’s not there keep looking until I find the item elsewhere! Note a lot of the time it’s online only rather than in store.

Any good tips for where to access discounts for those not entitled to blue light cards?
Many private sector workers get nothing from their employers and are on minimum wage to boot.
Tried a couple of Google search websites but even they seem to favour the public sector.
Find it all very strange since without a thriving private sector there's no money for the public sector at all - as I'm afraid we might find out on 26th Nov.

No. If there's a shop in mind I'm happy to inbox you the code though.

Thats generous of you but it's fine thanks. I just wondered if there were any good voucher sites that were open to all employees. Many sites are still weighted in favour of the public sector but I've had some great suggestions on here.

I’ve just been sent an email from Blue light card to say holders can get 10% off this Black Friday at Morrisons in-store on spends £40 or more.

Namechangedforspooky · 25/11/2025 20:55

In the last week - Wagamama 20%, new look 10%, and an offer boost at look fantastic
Also Schuh and Dominos good if you’re spending a fair bit!
