About this 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 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.

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 the largest selection of discounts available in one place, from the daily coffee and weekly groceries through to exciting days out and the family holiday. 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.

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

Your Blue Light Card app

===============

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, we’ve even included a virtual copy of your Blue Light Card to help you shop and save while out and about!

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. For offers you are likely to use in person we automatically add a 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 (we understand how annoying that can be).

- 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.

Terrible app. The slowest to load, slowest to search app in the entire playstore? Often fails to login with random errors, like "UserMigration failed with error Invalid username or password. Please make sure you are using the latest version of the app." If it ever loads an offer, it often doesn't work, doesn't apply, is cheaper to book direct, or the merchant refuses to accept it

Used to be good. Since update around 12 months ago the app constantly logs me out and loses saved password so I struggle to log back in. its always a full password reset when this happens, but if im in a queue at a shop wanting to use my BLC then it becomes a major nuisance. After reset it directs me away from the app to browser to login. Search function on app is glitchy when it does work too.

I originally gave this 4 stars. However now the app has become totally useless. It never works when I'm trying to use especially in shops and I constantly have to reset my password which I can't do out and about because I'm not at my work computer so really defeats the point. They say they have improved the security but actually have just created more barriers for genuine customers. I never have the same login issues on the website. What a waste of time now. Sort out please. Infuriating!
