I’ve written before about the Asda Christmas Savings Card, which gives you a bonus if you top it up. The idea is that you’re supposed to top it up throughout the year to save for your ‘big shop’ at Christmas. However, as long as you have a certain amount on there by a certain date, you’ll get the bonus. A couple of years ago the maximum bonus you could get was £6 if you had £144 on your card. However last year it changed.
Higher Bonuses
From 2019, the bonus of the Asda Christmas savings card changed and introduced new tiers.
The new tiers are as follows:
- Save £280+ and receive a £15 bonus
- Save £230-£279 and receive a £12 bonus
- Save £180-£229 and receive a £9 bonus
- Save £130-179 and receive a £6 bonus
- Save £80-£129 and receive a £3 bonus
- Save £30-£79 and receive a £1 bonus
More For The Customer
This is better for the customer. There are more options, and the top bonus is higher than the equivalent that it used to be. £144 used to get you £6. £280 (so less than double) gains you 1.5 times more.
As of 2020 you can also use your Asda Christmas savings card online. Be sure to book your click and collect or delivery in plenty of time!
When To Save By
The date you need to save by in 2020 is 15th November. Then, whatever bonus you qualify for will be automatically added and if you already have a card, you don’t need to get a new one. You can even get two cards to save onto. Just be clever & only save £280 on one card, even though you can save up to £485. You might as well get another card & another bonus.
Protect Your Cash
Be sure to register them on the website so the balances are safe if lost.
We didn’t even spend the full amount we’d saved at Christmas, which helped make January that little bit easier. A little bonus at this time of year is perfect for making your money go further and helping you stick to your Christmas budget. If you do your shopping at Asda, the Asda Christmas savings card is a no brainer.
