NHS Discount cards

It doesn't tie you to one store Nfk, although not all stores take them and different stores give different cash back rates! With interest rates so low, 3% cash back isn't bad and some stores give 5%.

So it's a sort of reverse loyalty card - you give them money up front, then spend it in store instead of them giving you money off vouchers for shopping there? Does it tie you to one store?

(Just curious. We shop all over the place and don't work, so we're not eligible anyway)

We have a similar thing in UNISON and the Police - we can buy a reloadable sainsbury gift card ar 4% off- i.e £100 for £96 - so it does save on petrol and shopping

Didn't think you were Ann. Didn't mean to he short but we were going out! Sorry! Still can't work out whether to go for it or not!

Gosh kitty I wasn't being nosy as I know from your posts that your DH is a Dentist.

I was offered them when I was working but no-one seemed to take them up- juts another card for people to gather data from. My purse is full of rubbish now.

Because Dh works for the NHS ann

Where does the NHS come in? Am I missing something? does it get a cut of the spending? Or are you offered one because your DH is a medical man? Very intriguing.

Apparently, you load them with money and then use them at various stores eg Sainsburys, JL, Boots B&Q. Then 'cash back' is paid onto the card. So, the card company have your money but then you get around 5% of what you spend!

I haven't heard of these. What would they be used for?
