The Asda Student Shopper Card: all the information you need on a plate

The Asda Student Shopper Card is a win-win situation. Parents rest easy knowing their son or daughter eats well while studying. Students have one less thing to worry about - and a nice full stomach. Not to mention money to buy everyday essentials like washing powder and tin openers.

How does it work?

An Asda student shopper card is really two cards: one for the parents and one for students. Both cards are linked together, so parents can add money to the card and automatically top up their son or daughter's card. Students can then spend the credit on their card on anything they need in Asda stores. Uploading money online or in-store couldn't be easier. Oh, and one more thing, it's completely free to use.

How do you put money on the card?

You can upload up to £500 onto the card online or do it in-store. Whenever parents add money to the card it's automatically added to the student's card.

Where can you pick up a card from?

Whether you're a student or a parent, you can pick up a card at your local Asda or get one online and you'll get your cards through the post.

What else can you do with your card?

Check your balance, transaction history and protect your funds in case of card loss with one easy phone call or visit to the website.

Is it secure?

It sure is. The card can be topped up to the value of £500 online or in store and is, in many ways, safer than carrying cash. And by registering you'll get Balance Protection - where you can transfer your balance over to a new card if yours gets lost or stolen.
