Keep it local


Blue Light Card is nothing without the brilliant businesses we partner with, and we want as many independent local companies as possible to join and connect with our community of more than 5.8 million frontline workers.

Local companies start offering discounts to bring more people to your door and give back to our frontline community. Should we get started?

Why Take Part?

Becoming a Blue Light Card business is great for our whole community. Local companies like you get more sales and our frontline workers get access to exclusive discounts. Everybody wins.

Listing your offer with us is quick and easy, just fill in a form and we’ll do the hard work for you. Your offer will appear on our ‘offers near me’ map, bringing new people to your store. And we’ll also send you promotional materials for free to display and show that you accept Blue Light Card at your business.

We mean business

Independent local companies can sign up for free to offer Blue Light Card members exclusive discounts. Our members will be able to find your business on the ‘Offers Near Me’ map on the Blue Light Card app.

Is your business eligible?

Before you sign up your business, here’s what you need to know:

  • This scheme is for independent local retailers with no more than 4 shops.
  • Your listing must include an offer or discount specifically for our members. The same offer can’t be given to everyone who walks in but the offer can be the same you give to other defined groups (students or OAPs, for example). 
  • The offer must be able to be redeemed by our member showing a valid Blue Light Card (either a physical card or the digital card in our app).
  • Online-only offers aren’t allowed - you must also be able to redeem them at your business in person.
  • You can't advertise credit or financing in your listing.
  • We don't accept listings that promote gambling, tobacco or vaping products or listings from businesses regulated by the FCA, CQC or SRA.

Full Terms and Conditions can be found here

Time to Freshen things up

Changing up your offers can give people a new reason to visit you - you can update your offer at any time.

Before you give us your new offer, here’s a quick reminder of the rules:

  • The offer must be able to be redeemed by our member showing a valid Blue Light Card (either a physical card or the virtual card in our app).
  • Online-only offers aren’t allowed - you must also be able to redeem them at your business.
  • You can't advertise credit or financing in your listing.
  • We don't accept listings that promote gambling, tobacco or vaping products or businesses regulated by FCA, CQC or SRA.

If you’re wondering what makes a great offer for our members, we’ve got all the hints and tips you need over here.

FAQs

Here we’ll cover the most common questions people ask us.

Remember - we are here to support small businesses so If you can’t find your question here, contact us at [member services Small Business Enquiriy form link] and we’ll do our best to help.


How much does it cost to list my business?

It's free! All we ask is for you to provide a genuine offer to our members that is better than your standard prices.

What kinds of businesses are able to take part?

This scheme is for independent local retailers with no more than 4 shops. We don't accept listings that promote gambling, tobacco or vaping products or businesses regulated by FCA, CQC or SRA

Who is eligible to have a Blue Light Card?

Current and retired frontline workers. The full list of qualifying services is here. 

Members are asked to confirm their eligibility every 2 years.


They don’t have their card, or it's expired. What should I do?

Sadly, it’s best to not honour the offer. If they can’t show you an in date digital or physical card, it’s possible they aren’t a member.

Can I include the offer on my website and Socials?

Yep, once we confirm that you’re eligible to take part and get your first offer up and running, we’d love you to advertise your offer on your website, social media and inside your business itself.

Digital assests are available here: Link

How do I verify that someone is a member?

Check they have a valid Blue Light Card.

Members are sent a new card every two years, with an expiry date printed clearly on the front.

If they don’t have their physical card, they can access a digital version on the Blue Light Card app.

How many people can I expect to claim my offer?

It all depends what you’re offering, how strong your offer is and how much competition you have in your area. The deeper the discount, the more people we’d expect to take you up on it. As you can list your offers and update them with us for free, you could experiment and find out what works for you.

We’d always advise our local retailers to make sure their offers are profitable, even if the levels of redemption take you by surprise. You can keep redemption levels under control by offering limited time offers, like “10% off in November for Blue Light Card members”

How do I drive new business, rather than just giving discounts to regulars?

Your listing will be available on our app to anyone in your local area, so it should attract new customers to your business.

The type of offer you give can impact whether you attract new customers or increase the spend of your regulars. For help with crafting the best offer, check out our hints and tips page.

How will my offer look in the app? And can I check out the competition in my local area?

Your offer will look like the example here: link

We’re working on giving small businesses access to the live map to check your listings and we aim for this to be available in early 2026

Do you have any Point of Sale materials to help me advertise my Blue Light Card offer?

Yes, we’ll send you free window stickers for each site when you sign up. If you are already listed and would like materials please fill in our enquiry form

Here are some assets that you’re very welcome to use in your marketing materials:
