Blue Light Card discount list

 

Blue Light Card discount list


The Blue Light Card scheme is one of the best money saving schemes around. But who qualifies for a card and which high street and online stores will give you a discount?

I’ll share a handy list of over 250 shops that accept the card, plus how to get money off cinema visits and free tickets to major events across the UK. And don’t forget about Member Day, where a theme park in the UK will only open its doors to card holders on a selected day.

Blue Light Card Discounts

Blue Light Card membership gives you access to exclusive offers at large national retailers and small independent stores, many of which are not available to the general public. But it’s not restricted to just shopping, you can find better deals on insurance, local services and days out.


How can I apply for a Blue Light Card?


You can apply for the card online at the Blue Light Card website. Registration costs £4.99 and you must be able to provide proof of employment with a qualifying company.

Acceptable ID includes a staff ID card dated within the last three months, a payslip or in some cases a copy of your contract. If you are unsure as to what ID you need to provide, the Blue Light Card website will have a list of all acceptable documents required for your specific company or department.

Where can I use my Blue Light Card?

There are loads of discounts available. Some of the major brands, such as Apple, are part of this scheme, which is quite amazing in itself, as Apple never seems keen on giving you money off. This is usually only around 2% off, but that’s quite significant when you think how much their products cost…


You can also get money off at restaurants such as Subway (although this varies between stores), 50% off at Domino’s, days out including Alton Towers, holidays with Thomas Cook and Haven and many, many shopping outlets. For nearly anything you want, you should be able to find some discount through the Blue Light Card.


The best discounts are from restaurants. You will often receive anything between 20-50% off or a free meal. You can also find good deals on mobile contracts from the major phone companies.

Please note that how you claim your discount varies between stores. Scroll down further to see how the discounts work.


The best Blue Light Card discounts

But where can Blue Light Card holders find the best deals?


Argos

You can use your Blue Light Card for Argos discounts only by buying vouchers first. Discounts range between 4% and 8% depending on the time of the year. Check out my video on this page on how to purchase your cards.

Also worth reading –

Check out the Airtime rewards app. All you need to do is link it to your payment card, and every time you shop there, you’ll earn cashback to put towards your mobile phone bill. It works for a whole range of retailers too.

Asda

Until 31st March 2023, you’ll receive 10% off at Asda by showing your card at the checkout. Please note that you may be asked to show an additional ID, such as a bank card to prove that you are the card holder.

In the past, Morrisons has also offered a 10% discount but that ended in January 2022. I have never seen Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Lidl or Aldi offer similar deals.


Currys

Although card holders can gain discounts on selected products by requesting a vault code, you can also earn a discount by purchasing a gift card. This will usually give you in the region of 4-8% off your whole purchase.


B&Q

You probably see a theme here… Again, you must visit the Blue Light Card website and order a gift card to qualify for a discount.


Domino’s

This is a far easier discount to claim. Just show your Blue Light Card to a Domino’s branch for 50% off. Usually, most branches only give discounts on pizzas, but others include sides and desserts. If you’re ordering online, you can usually find a discount code on the BLC website. You can also see other ways to find online Domino’s discounts.


Esso

You can apply for a free Esso card (usually £43), which will give you money off at the pump. Use the Esso card to pay and you will receive a discount of between 3 and 6 pence per litre, depending on the fuel you buy. The Esso card is linked to your bank and will take the money directly within a couple of days.

This expires 31st December 2023.


Halfords

Until 28th February 2023, card holders receive a 7% discount in-store by showing their membership. The discount is also available online if you apply for a code.


KFC

This is a 10% discount which has changed recently and takes a little more effort. You will need to download the KFC app and create an account. Then:

  • Select ‘More’ from the bottom tab
  • Choose ‘Discounts’
  • Enter your card number and surname
  • When you come to pay, scan your QR code at the top right


Krispy Kreme

50% off a dozen doughnuts in retail shops on Wednesdays. Just show your card. This expires 25th January 2023.


Starbucks

Receive a 10% discount on your bill just by showing your card. This offer expires 20th January 2023.

So, which other companies can Blue Light Card members get discounts for? It’s impossible to list all the stores, mainly because plenty of local businesses use the scheme. But, I have tried to summarise a list of discounts for the most popular. And please remember to check the Blue Light Card app or website before you claim your discount. Don’t always expect to walk into a store expecting a discount by showing your card. In some cases, you may even need to show your work ID card.

e2save

Blue Light Tickets

If you’re a fan of live entertainment like sports, comedy, music and theatre, then you can qualify for tickets… absolutely free. Unfortunately, tickets are limited, so you will have to enter a ballot and winners are chosen at random.

But there are some great music events available up and down the country, plus tickets to Premier League football games.

The Blue Light Tickets site is actually run separately from the main Blue Light Card site. You have to sign up again, although if you already have a Blue Light Card, you do not need to show proof of your employment and just need to enter your Blue Light membership number.

Take a look at Blue Light Tickets.

Member Day(s)

Every year, holders of the Blue Light Card can attend a Member Day, which usually takes place over a weekend. This is held at a major theme park that is closed to the general public and offers heavily discounted tickets.

The dates for 2023:

  • Alton Towers 11th and 12th of March
  • Chessington 18th of March
  • Legoland Windsor (find out how to get half price tickets if you miss out) 11th of March, 11th and 26th of November
  • Thorpe Park 18th of March, 4th and 5th of November

Ok, so they don’t have the best weather, but they are great value! Tickets are on sale from the 30th of January, but tend to go quite quickly.

You can see how I got on when we visited a Member day.

Claiming your shopping discount

How you claim your Blue Light Card discount differs between companies. Most physical stores allow you to show your card and you are immediately given a discount. However, some of the bigger chains only give you money off if you purchase a gift card, which can be done through the Blue Light Card website (or app).

Buy the gift card for your chosen store (usually starting from £10) and it is sent to you in the post within a few days. You then need to activate the card and it will be ready to use. Once you’ve spent all the money on the card, you can just top it up from the BLC website. This will take a couple of days to do though.

Because of the time it takes to load these cards, you do need to plan in advance. So it’s not great for sale items.


But the good news is, some retailers now offer digital discount vouchers that are sent to you almost immediately through email. All you need to do is enter the code at the online checkout or scan them in the shop at the till.

The discounts can be quite good though. For example, Curry’s offers a 6.5% discount, so placing £100 on a Curry’s gift card will cost you just £93.50. Other stores that operate in this way are Halfords – 7%, Argos 4%, B&Q, 5%, and Debenhams 6%. Please note that these discounts do move up and down.

Take a look at the video on this page to find out how to purchase gift cards.

Blue Light Card discount codes

Of course, if you’re shopping online, flashing your card won’t be much good. Instead, you may need to follow a link from the Blue Light Card website which will take you to a special section of your chosen retailer’s website. But more often than not, you will need to request a unique code (also known as a vault code). Find the store you’re interested in through the BLC app or website and click the request code button. The code will then appear in your account and will also be sent to you by email.

Then, when you checkout, there should be a box to enter your code.

screenshot of a discount code

These codes may also be needed when you want money off your food bill in restaurants. Or, you may be sent a code that can be scanned by the waiting staff.

Blue Light Card app

Remember to download the app too. This will send you notifications and important updates of the latest offers and links directly to the gift card discount area.


You can use the following links:

Apple users

Android users

This really is one of the best discount cards out there for essential workers. If you want to sign up or find out more, then head over to the Blue Light Card official site.

And don’t forget to follow their Facebook page so you can see the latest special offers and deals.

The Blue Light Card is great, but if you’re interested in saving more money, why not take a look at a paid alternative with the CSSC? For less than £4 per month, you could be eligible for free entry into English Heritage sites, a free taste card, reduced gym membership and lots of other discounts. The CSSC also offers discounted gift cards, but usually around 2% cheaper than the Blue Light Card. If you’re a keen shopper, this is worth checking out!


Who qualifies for the Blue Light Card?

This scheme isn’t just for the emergency service workers. It’s available to anyone who works as a paid employee for the following:

  • NHS staff
  • Police Force
  • Ambulance Service
  • Fire Service
  • HM Prison Service / HMPPS
  • NHS Dental Practice
  • HM Armed Forces
  • MoD Civil Servant, Fire Service, Police

  • RNLI
  • Search and Rescue
  • 4×4 Response

The card is also available to some retirees. Taken from their site:

You are eligible only if you are an Armed Forces Veteran or a retired Police Officer or Fire Fighter. We will require ID to prove this in order to send the card to your home address

Thanks to Helen in the comments. She says that retired NHS employees now also qualify for the Blue Light Card.

So, do workers in the social sector qualify?

Yes, social care sector workers do qualify for the Blue Light Card and the discounts associated with it. And according to the definition I found – Social care is a term that generally describes all forms of personal care and other practical assistance for children, young people and adults who need extra support.

There is no Blue Light card eligibility checker, so if you’re unsure, send an email to their team to check.

If you’re an NHS employee, take a look at these exclusive discounts available.



How much does the Blue Light Card card cost?

The cost of membership, which includes a physical card, is £4.99 and will last 2 years. If you lose your card, you will need to pay another £4.99 for the replacement.

You’ll also get access to a virtual copy of your Blue Light Card which you can download onto your phone.



How to apply

You can join online and will need to provide the following information :


  • Name
  • County
  • Employer’s information, including division (if applicable) and job role.
  • Email address
  • Password

If this is accepted, you will then need to complete your address details if you want a physical card sent to you. Then, it’s just a matter of waiting until BLC has confirmed you’re eligible to join.


FAQs

Help, my card hasn’t arrived

If it has been 14 days since your card was purchased, log into your account and visit the ‘My Card’ section on the Blue Light Card website or click on your virtual card in the app by clicking your name in the bottom menu. You can then mark the card as lost and another will be sent.


What is the Blue Light Card contact number?

There is no contact telephone number. You can either get in touch by sending an email to contact@bluelightcard.co.uk, or you can send them a ticket through your account. If you need to contact them urgently, I would suggest trying twitter @bluelightcard


Does Nando’s accept the Blue Light Card?

Unfortunately, no. They do a specific discount for NHS staff though.

Any Airport parking deals?

Nearly all the major companies are listed – NCP, BCP, Ace Airport Parking Ltd, APH and iPark Airport Parking.


Can I get a discount at Travelodge?

No. However, you can find a discount if you shop through TopCashback.


Do I get money off at Toby Carvery?

You get 20% off Monday to Saturday. However, you will need to request a voucher code. This just requires you to click a button on the BLC app or website and it will be sent to your account.


Any New Look discounts?

Yes. There is a specific 25% code for card holders to use on the New Look website. Or, you can just show your membership card when shopping in store to receive your 25% off.


How about Iceland?

There aren’t currently any discounts at Iceland for Blue Light Card holders. However, over the last couple of years, there has been a couple of 10% offers for short periods. It is worth keeping an eye on the Iceland website.

No. Although joining the scheme in 2014, they have since left. But all is not lost, the Tastecard offers 2 for 1 dining there if you are looking for a good discount.


How much is the Pizza Hut discount?

50% off if ordering online – you will need to generate a code.
25% off in a restaurant. Again, you will need a code sent to you. – The code currently works 7 days per week.
7.5% off gift cards.


Does McDonald’s accept the Blue Light Card?

There is no nationwide discount available to emergency service workers. However, the majority of McDonald’s restaurants are run as franchises. That means that they may offer their own special offers. My local will give you a free cheeseburger with the purchase of an Extra Value Meal, if you produce your BLC membership. So it’s a case of asking when you visit.


Does Primark take the Blue Light Card?

Not directly. You can purchase gift vouchers that will earn you 3% off though. Or you can sign up for the Airtime rewards app. This will give you 3.5% back towards your mobile phone bill when you shop at Primark with your debit or credit card. Use the code  8YXY4BLK  for a 50 pence bonus.


What discount does Sky offer?

Listed on the BLC website, Sky Signature is reduced from £30 to £21 per month. But to receive that discount or details on any others, you will need to leave your details and an operator from Sky will contact you. Just follow the link through the BLC site.


Does B&M accept the Blue Light Card?

No, these stores do not currently offer a discount to holders.


Do you get a discount with Next?

No, there is no Blue Light Card discount for Next.

Does Aldi accept the Blue Light Card?

Aldi only accepts the card as proof of employment for emergency workers and gives holders access to priority shopping times. It does not provide any discounts though.


Does Boots offer a discount?

Blue Light Card holders no longer qualify for a discount with Boots. However, you can sign up for the Airtime rewards app. This will give you 5% back towards your mobile phone bill when you shop at Boots with your debit or credit card. Use the code 8YXY4BLK for a 50 pence bonus.


Is the Morrisons offer still running?

For most of 2020 and 2021, Blue Light Card holders were entitled to 10% off at Morrisons. However, this expired at the end of 2nd January 2022. We shall see if it will return.


Does Amazon offer a Blue Light Card discount?

No, Amazon does not offer discounts to Blue Light Card holders. That goes for Prime Video, Music and shopping.


Can family members use my card?

The Blue Light Card can only be used by the holder and cannot be loaned to others. In some cases, a family member may receive a discount as long as the card holder is present at the time.


Can you get a discount at Leeds Castle?

Yes, Blue Light Card holders get 20% off at Leeds Castle (although this is not listed on either site). It can be applied for up to 2 adults and 2 children, but only on the day of purchase.
If you buy tickets in advance, you will automatically get around a 10% discount without your card.
