ASDA is bringing back a popular reward for shoppers, but they’ll need to be quick.
The supermarket giant has reintroduced its £5 “first scan bonus”.
Asda is bringing back its £5 bonus for new shoppersAlamy
The offer is available for shoppers who are new to the Asda Rewards loyalty scheme.
To get the £5 coupon, customers need to sign up to Asda Rewards and then scan the app for the first time.
It’s available online and in stores – but only until July 30 so you’ll need to be quick.
Only new shoppers can take advantage of the offer, so if you already have the app and have scanned in the past you won’t be eligible.
But if you have downloaded the app but are yet to scan for the first time, you can benefit from the bonus.
Asda ran the popular offer for new shoppers in May, February and December last year.
How does Asda’s loyalty scheme work?
To take part in the loyalty scheme, you’ll need to download the Asda Rewards app which you can find on the Apple App Store and Google Play store.
You’ll need to have an account – if you don’t, it’s pretty easy to sign up. You’ll just need to pop in your name and a couple of other quick details.
Then you can earn cash rewards known as Asda Pounds when shopping in store and online.
You’ll just need to scan the barcode on the app at the checkout. If you’re shopping online, just make sure you’re logged into your account, and then browse as normal.
Usually you can buy certain “star products” which are a mix of branded and Asda own-brand items.
You can see a full list in the dedicated section of the Asda Rewards app, but they’re also marked when you’re shopping online at Asda.com.
These allow you different deals on a range of items. Some examples from today include:
£2.50 on a 12-pack of Andrex toilet roll10% back on a two-pack of McVitie’s milk chocolate digestives10% back on Asda’s battered crispy fish strips
You can also earn rewards by completing “missions”, which are usually tasks like spending a certain amount to earn a voucher, or buying certain products to earn another.
Some examples of these offered today include:
Spend £50 by 30 September to earn £1.50Buy five health and beauty products by 24 August to earn £2 Buy 10 packets or pieces of fruit and veg by 24 August to earn £1.50
Just be mindful of how much you’re spending – not every deal will be worth the money you spend to get it and remember to look around other shops to see what deals they have to compare.
Rewards you earn can be accessed in your “cash pot” within the app.
