// Asda to scrap Blue Light Card discount for NHS and emergency workers on December 31, 2022
// Customers can receive discounts on food, George clothing and homeware, toys, gifts and optical products with the Blue Light Card
Asda’s discount offer for NHS staff is coming to an end on December 31, 2022, despite the grocer reinstating it just seven months ago.
The supermarket chain introduced the 10% off discount last year as a thank you for anyone working in emergency services, including the NHS, police, fire, social care sector and armed forces.
With the Blue Light Card, customers can receive discounts on food, George clothing and homeware, toys, gifts and optical products.

The 10% discount was first extended until January 31, 2022, but Asda extended it further until December 31, 2022, to ensure families and individuals across the UK “have a magical Christmas”.
Asda removed the 12-week qualifying period for colleague discount until October, which meant new recruits could benefit from a 10% discount off their shopping from their first day of employment.
Workers in the NHS, emergency services, social care sector and the armed forces can present their cards at the checkout.
As a RAF Veteran i am really disappointed that the Blue Light Card at Asda is ending.
It really helped during this period of food price inflation.
Would Asda consider extending it again?
