Blue Light Card holders will be eligible for special Back Friday discounts
Emergency services, care and frontline staff are being reminded that they can make big savings on their Christmas shopping – as Black Friday approaches. A range of discounts have been revealed for holders of a Blue Light Card – a discount service for key people – as the shopping event approaches, on November 25.
The likes of The Body Shop, New Look and Samsung are among those who will be offering exclusive discounts to those working to keep us “safe, healthy and supported”. Early access offers will also be available to members from early November, with Blue Light Card holders encouraged to log into their accounts on Black Friday itself to see the full range of increased discounts on offer.
Other major brands taking part will include Ray-Ban, boohoo, JD Sports, Tessuti, Nike, Buyagift, Lovehoney, Virgin Experience Days, Shark, Hotpoint, Lenovo, Beats, Virgin Media, O2, LOOKFANTASTIC, MyProtein and more. Tom Dalby, CEO of Blue Light Card, said: “The Blue Light community has once again worked so hard this year, tirelessly caring for those in need and protecting us all in our everyday lives.
“We are delighted to be able to say a big thank you by providing the millions of people working in the emergency services, NHS, social care and armed forces with these exclusive Black Friday offers. Many in the Blue Light community work long shifts throughout Christmas, which can make Christmas shopping difficult.
“So we hope our Black Friday discounts lend a helping hand by giving you time to plan and buy some gifts early. I would encourage anyone eligible who is not yet a member to apply for a card early to ensure they don’t go miss out on these great discounts.”
