What is the Asda Christmas Savings Card 2023

The Asda Christmas Savings card is a form of savings loyalty reward offering you a bonus of between 1.2 to 5.3% depending on how much you save.

Bearing in mind ASDA doesn’t have an all-encompassing loyalty card for all stores, this is currently one of the best ways to be rewarded for your ASDA loyalty.

How Does the ASDA Christmas Savings Card Work?

The ASDA Christmas savings card is very simple and easy to use.  Simply apply and register your card.  Add or top-up funds as and when you can with the idea being saving towards your Christmas shop.

It’s a very flexible saving scheme allowing you to spend money you have saved at any time.   The key is to aim for maximum savings just before the bonus date to qualify for a bonus reward of between 1.26% to a maximum of 5.3%.

Here are the Christmas savings bonus reards you can earn, with the bonus rate percentage in brackets.

  • Save £30 to £79 for a £1 bonus  (3.3% to 1.26%)
  • Save £80 to £129 for a £3 bonus (3.75% to 2.3%)
  • Save £130 to £179 for a £6 bonus (4.6% to 3.3%)
  • Save £180 to £229 for a £9 bonus (5% to 3.9%)
  • Save £230 to £279 £12 bonus (5.2% to 4.3%)
  • Save £280 for a £15 bonus (5.3%)
  • Save £281 to £485 for no extra bonus (0%).

How to Maximise Your Bonus Rewards

If you want to maximise your rewards bonus it often pays to have more than one card.

For example, if you expect to save somewhere between £30 and £79, with one card you would only earn a £1 bonus.

However, if you have 2 cards, you could save £30 on the first card, and £30 on the another and you’ll get a £2 bonus.

To work out your own % bonus rewards on the amount, you have to save simply divided the bonus amount by the amount by the total balance of savings.

Once you are over £280 for the maximum reward bonus if you can save any more it pays to do so on a second card as you won’t be earning anything on the next £205  up to the £485 maximum.

This extra money could instead be put towards qualifying for another £9 bonus in the £180-£229 range on a separate card.
