Colleague Discount Card

Asda values its colleagues and recognises their hard work by offering colleague discount on their shopping instore and online. Colleague discount is the one of the most loved benefits Asda gives to its colleagues. 

As part of Future we are upgrading the colleague discount card. We have listened to our colleagues, and this will become a digital card hosted in the Asda Rewards App. For those colleagues who cannot use the digital card, you can order a physical card. 

The new colleague discount card went live on Monday 7th October, your current discount card will continue to work until Tuesday 28th January.  

To activate your digital discount card you will need your colleague ID number (beings with 140) and discount ID number, both can be found in Workday.

How To Activate Your Digital Card 

How to Use Your New Discount Card 

The new discount card (both digital and physical) is a barcode that can be scanned at the till point any time during the transaction before payment. You no longer need to press the “Colleague Discount” button on the till screen, if the “Colleague Discount” button is pressed in error this can be cancelled by pressing the back button on the till screen.  

You will need to scan the discount card barcode before payment (either digital or physical card) and if you want to earn in the Rewards app ensure you scan that barcode too – both can be found in the Wallet part of the Rewards App 

The digital discount card will still be available and work if you cannot access the Rewards App due to no wifi, data or if in the unlikely event the Rewards App is down.

Both the current Walmart-issued Card and new discount card are accepted until Tuesday 28th January 2025, only one should be used per transaction
