Blue Light Card

bluenose1

We have definitely got our moneys worth as well.
20% discount from Peacocks, which is handy as we have one in our local Co-op, and 5% off our DisneyWorld holiday.
I always check for a discount from them before ordering anything.
Between BlueLight card and Topcashback there is normally a discount or cashback on offer.

With the bluelight card, you also have access to bluelight tickets, some are ballots for free tickets, some discounted and some plain free. I had free tickets to a foodies festival. 

Also ATG local heroes, with discounted tickets to selected shows at ATG theatres.

There is also additional on board spend for P&O cruises. I believe the best TUI deals are for the NHS. 

If you are a civil servant, the Civil Service Sports Club is £4.95 a month has some good offers, both online and at a local level, years ago we had a coach and tickets to Harry Potter World for £15 each. I think some of the monthly fee goes to good causes too

The site says you are eligible if retired. The list provided does not include teachers, however, I would imagine they just haven't updated this yet.

If you follow Mr P ICT on Instagram, Facebook he made a post about teachers being eligible for the BLC and so many teachers jumped on the website it crashed. 

I've only just managed to sign up today for it. 

We shall see what discounts we can get.

It is probably worth mentioning also the Charity Workers Discount site: https://www.charityworkerdiscounts.com/

Open to volunteers in pretty much any shape or form, or those who work for charities.

I don't always remember to check but I've had a few discounts.

The main site only has certain occupation as eligible if retired ( police, armed forces,NHS). Quite a lot of occupations are not eligible once retired. Teachers have not been added to the main list, but if you look at the link to the teachers' site listed above nothing is said about retired teachers and the id required is either a school email address or recent payslip.

Maybe not
Their website says teachers are eligible to join, no mention of the many other (more numerous and generally far lower paid) support staff who also work in schools.
Presumably evidence of the job role is required to make sure the offer is restricted only to teachers.

It states "Teaching and supporting staff" in the eligibility criteria.
