Blue Light Card

Editor's Review

We are Blue Light Card 💙 – the UK’s largest provider of online and in-store discounts for frontline services. This includes the emergency services, NHS, social care sector, and armed forces. Recently, we've welcomed early, primary, and secondary school teachers into our community! 🍎📚

We exist to show our appreciation for our community and their service and sacrifice. 🙏 Giving them access to the discounts they deserve, and unique member-only experiences. In 2023 alone, we helped our members save over £330 million! 💰

But we offer value beyond discounts! You also get access to exclusive member events, competitions, and even free tickets! 🎉

We’re dedicated to giving back to our members who dedicate much of their lives to keeping us safe, healthy, and supported. 💖

Your Blue Light Card app includes:

• Quick and Easy Discount Discovery: Find discounts tailored to your shopping needs right from the main screen. 🛍️
• Exclusive Updates: Stay informed about new partners and exciting offers. 🎁
• Virtual Blue Light Card: A digital version of your card to help you save while you're out and about! 💳

Key Highlights:

• Search: All search features are now in a single screen! We have a new 'Search by Phrase' option, 'Companies' showing an alphabetically ordered list with quick filter, and 'Search by Category' which helps you find companies and offers grouped together. 🔍
• Near Me: We have made this even easier, which is hard as it is one of the most used features. There was always a list view, but it was hard to spot - so we’ve made it really easy. 📍
• Favourites: Now much easier to use and simple to understand, you can even change their order. ❤️
• Offer improvements: We have tweaked how we display each offer. For time-limited offers, we show an expiry caption that is easy to understand. For all offers, we color code and show the type of offer like High Street & Online. 🏷️ For offers you are likely to use in person, we automatically add quick access to your Virtual Card if you have one.
• Redeeming online offers: We have added a mini-browser with back and forward buttons so you do not accidentally come off the screen entirely. 💻
• Blue Light Card: You can get one of these directly inside the app, and for members that have one, we have a virtual card inside the app. 📱
• Notifications: We will keep you informed of select offers, plus when we need update you about your account. 🔔
• Suggestions: We really value your ideas and your help in pointing out issues we may not yet be aware of - so we have added features in the app for you to quickly share them with us. This really is the fastest way to get things fixed or improved. 💡
