Ratings and reviews

I originally gave this 4 stars. However now the app has become totally useless. It never works when I'm trying to use especially in shops and I constantly have to reset my password which I can't do out and about because I'm not at my work computer so really defeats the point. They say they have improved the security but actually have just created more barriers for genuine customers. I never have the same login issues on the website. What a waste of time now. Sort out please. Infuriating!

Despite my card not expiring until 31/01/2026, the app says it has already expired,I must renew. The on line card has been blurred out. Only half my personal details were visible. I clicked on the box to renew. It merely takes me to choose a category section. I uninstalled/reinstalled the app, it still isn't working. Some sentences are all merged together. When the BLC was 1st introduced, it worked fine. I've had discounts on line & in restaurants. EDIT:DIRECT COMS, ISSUE SORTED

Unfortunately the app is completely useless. The discounts are really good however you can rarely use them as the app is unstable and regularly crashes. Trying to search on the app is nearly impossible and it always times out and says there is no results. Most stores now want the app rather than the physical card meaning you can't use your discounts. It's made the whole thing redundant and if this is not improved I will not renew my membership when it comes up.

What’s new

We've made a range of improvements to improve stability, fix known issues and make the app easier to use.
