Blue Light Card Now Available for Teachers
The Blue Light Card is now available to teachers for just £4.99 for two years. This exciting offer opens the door to thousands of discounts, providing significant savings across numerous brands and retailers.
Blue Light Card, previously exclusive to NHS workers and emergency services, has expanded eligibility to include teachers from the following:
- State Early Years & Primary Schools
- State Secondary Schools & 6th Form Colleges
- Special Schools, Vocational Schools, Referral Units, and Centrally Employed
*Note: Higher Education Staff are not included.
Tom Church, Co-Founder of money-saving website LatestDeals.co.uk said, "This is a brilliant initiative to support our teachers, who work tirelessly to educate our children. With the Blue Light Card, teachers can now enjoy the same exclusive discounts previously available to our frontline workers. It’s a small token of appreciation for their hard work."
Blue Light Card's website crashed on Thursday afternoon due to overwhelming demand from teachers.
Tom said, "When it was discovered on social media, the news went viral on WhatsApp groups amongst teachers. The Blue Light Card website crashed prompting a PR response from their team. People were having to join a waiting list of hours to apply. The mad rush shows how much in demand, and perhaps in need, teachers are of the fab discounts."
