Blue Light Card: NHS Discounts

Editor's Review

🎉 Introducing the Blue Light Card app! 🎉

We are Blue Light Card – the UK’s largest provider of online and in-store discounts for frontline services including the emergency services, NHS, social care sector, and armed forces. 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. 🤝

We have recently welcomed early, primary and secondary school teachers into our community. Teachers provide essential services to society – often going above and beyond the call of duty, as we saw during the pandemic. 🍎

With the Blue Light Card app, you can quickly and easily find discounts to suit your shopping needs straight from the main screen. From discounts on all your favourite brands and exclusive updates on new partners and exciting offers. 🎁 In 2023 we helped our members save over £330 million. And we offer value beyond discounts, with access to exclusive member events, competitions and free tickets. 🎫

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 colour code and show the type of offer like High Street & Online. 🏷️
• Redeeming online offers: We have added a mini-browser with back and forward buttons so you do not accidentally come off the screen entirely. 🌐
• Virtual Blue Light Card: Shop and save while out and about! 💳
• Notifications: Stay informed of select offers and account updates. 🔔
• Suggestions: Share your ideas and help us improve the app! 💡

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