Introducing Savings Cards

We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Savings Cards — the easiest way to put money back in your pocket on the things you’re already buying.

At WeDonate, we know every pound matters. Whether it’s the weekly shop, a morning coffee, or dinner out with the family, small discounts add up fast. Savings Cards make sure those discounts come to you — automatically, every time you pay.


What Are Savings Cards?

A Savings Card is a digital card for a specific retailer. You buy one through WeDonate at a discount, and the discount becomes your saving when you use it.

Here’s the simple version: a £100 card at a 10% discount costs you £90, and lets you spend a full £100 at that retailer. Same shop, £10 less out of your pocket.

Some brands accept the card in-store, some online, some both — we’ll make it clear when you’re choosing. Scan the barcode at the till, or paste the code in at online checkout.


See It In Action

Buying a Savings Card in the app, then using it at checkout — scan the barcode in-store, or paste the code in online.


Everything Lives In Your Wallet

Once you’ve bought a card it goes straight into your Wallet — ready to use whenever you need it. Barcode, code, PIN: all in one place, on your phone.

Launching With Supermarkets — Much More On The Way

We’ve launched with the UK’s biggest supermarkets, so you can start saving on your weekly shop from day one.

In the coming weeks, we’re rolling out over 100 more brands — and many of these categories come with bigger discounts than the supermarkets:

  • 🍽️ Restaurants — eat out and save without hunting for promo codes
  • Coffee shops — your morning flat white, a little cheaper
  • 👗 Fashion & retail — high-street favourites and online stores
  • 🏡 Homeware & essentials — the everyday brands you already shop with

New brands appear in the app as they go live — so it’s worth checking back.


How Much Could You Save?

Our best supermarket rate right now is 4.5% off face value — a real, repeatable saving on spending you’re already doing.

For a family of four doing a typical £130/week shop, that’s around £6,760 a year on groceries, and about £300 back every year — just from the weekly shop.

And supermarkets are only the start. Here’s what the rest of an average UK household’s spend looks like:

  • 🍽️ Eating out once a week (£50) — around £2,600 a year
  • A coffee every workday (£4 × 5) — around £1,000 a year
  • 👗 Fashion & high street — around £1,200 a year per household

As restaurants, coffee shops, and retailers go live, discounts on these stack on top of the supermarket savings. Even at modest rates, that’s comfortably £500+ a year back in your pocket without changing a single habit.

Savings vary by brand and will be shown clearly before you buy.


🎉 Our Launch Giveaway: Win Back What You Spend

To celebrate the launch, we’re running a promotion from launch day through to 21st May 2026 — with a prize that scales with you.

Spend at least £100 via Savings Cards during the promo window and you’re automatically entered. One winner will be picked at random — and your prize is whatever you spent during the month, returned to you in Savings Cards of your choice, up to a maximum of £2,000.

Spend £150, win £150. Spend £2,000, win the full £2,000.

And remember — every card you buy is already saving you money through the discount, whether you win or not. One lucky donor will also get the rest of what they spent back, turning a whole month of shopping into an effectively free one.

Two easy ways to play: buy a card at the till as you’re about to pay, or preload a single card at the start of the month and spend it down over the weeks. No extra steps, no forms — shop as normal, and you’re in.


Ready To Start Saving?

  1. Open WeDonate — visit app.wedonate.io or open the mobile app
  2. Browse Savings Cards — see the full list of launch supermarkets on the in-store category page, pick a brand and top-up amount, and check out
  3. Use it at checkout — scan the barcode at the till or paste the code in online

Every card you buy counts towards your giveaway entry — and every pound you save is a pound that stays with you.


This Is Just The Start

Today is day one. Over the next few weeks we’re adding more than 100 brands across restaurants, fashion, coffee shops, homeware, entertainment and more — and in most of those categories the discounts are meaningfully bigger than what we can offer on supermarket shops.

If you’re saving £300 a year on groceries at launch, expect that number to grow fast as the brands you already spend with come online.


Thank you for being part of the WeDonate community. Donors already give more than enough — Savings Cards are one more way we can give something back.

Here’s to saving more, together. ❤️
