Asda announced that their partnership with the Blue Light Card Scheme will end on May 27, 2025. Blue Light Card holders will no longer be able to link their discounts with the Asda rewards app as of 13th May, 11am. Then, from the end of the month, the deal will disappear altogether.
This move comes as a blow to those working in healthcare, emergency services, social care, teachers (who were only recently added to the scheme) and the armed forces, who have been using the 5% back offer on selected fresh products in-store.With food prices still high and many families feeling the pinch, losing this small boost can make a big difference.
What was the deal?
Blue Light Card holders could link their account to the Asda Rewards app and get 5% back in Asda Pounds on certain fresh products. The cashback was credited to your Asda Reward Cashpot which could be used on your next purchase. The deal will end on May 13, 2025 at 11am. You can no longer use your Blue Light Card with the Asda rewards app. Blue Light Card holders will no longer receive 5% cashback after this date. The terms of the offer have always stated that it can be withdrawn anytime. It’s important to note that other supermarkets still offer some perks.
We’ve pulled together a full guide to Blue Light Card discounts which shows where you can still save.
What can you do now?
Use up your Asda Pounds – if you’ve been earning cashback, make sure you spend what’s in your Cashpot before it gets forgotten
Check our full list of Blue Light Card discounts – there are still savings to be had at places like Iceland, New Look, Halfords and more
Sign up to Asda Rewards anyway – while the Blue Light offer is ending, the regular app still has personalised offers, “missions” and rewards
Losing this perk is frustrating, especially when every little helps.
But don’t let this be the end of your savings.
There are still plenty of ways to get money off your food shop and keep your spending in check.
