If you are planning a trip to IKEA, a discounted IKEA gift card through Blue Light Card is one of the smartest ways to save on furniture, homeware and home essentials. Blue Light Card members buy an IKEA Shopping Card at below face value and use the balance in store or online, just like a standard IKEA gift card. The saving is built in before you visit and there is no code to enter at checkout. It is available to NHS staff, emergency services workers, armed forces personnel, teachers and social care workers.
Getting your discounted IKEA gift card takes just a few minutes. Log into your Blue Light Card account and search for IKEA. Head to the IKEA offer page, select the Shopping Card option and choose the value you want to load. Complete your purchase at the discounted member price and your IKEA Shopping Card details will be delivered digitally straight away.
In store, present your Shopping Card at the till before your transaction is processed. Online at ikea.com, enter your card details at the payment stage. The card can be used as full or partial payment and any remaining balance stays on the card for a future IKEA purchase.
