Asda shoppers can get £5 off shopping with easy move – but there’s a catch
ASDA shoppers can get £5 off their shopping through one simple trick, but there is a catch.
The supermarket has reintroduced its £5 "first scan bonus".
The offer is available for shoppers who are new to the Asda Rewards loyalty scheme.
To get the £5 coupon, customers will need to sign up to Asda Rewards and then scan the app for the first time.
The "first scan bonus" is available from April 12 to May 3 so you'll need to be quick.
However, only new shoppers will qualify - if you're already signed up to Asda Rewards and have scanned the app before, you won't get the free £5.

But customers who have previously downloaded the app but are yet to scan for the first time, will also benefit from the bonus.
Asda has offered the bonus in previous months.
New shoppers had the chance to grab the cash in February and December last year.

You'll need to have an account - if you don't, it's pretty easy to sign up. You'll just need to pop in your name and a couple other quick details.
Then, you can earn cash rewards known as Asda Pounds when shopping in store and online.
You'll just need to scan the barcode on the app at the checkout. If you're shopping online, just make sure you're logged into your account, and then browse as normal.
Usually you can buy certain "star products" which are a mix of branded and Asda own-brand items.
You can see a full list in the dedicated section of the Asda Rewards app, but they're also marked when you're shopping online at Asda.com.
These allow you different deals on a range of items. Some examples from today include:
- £2.50 on a 12-pack of Andrex toilet roll
- 10% back on a two-pack of McVitie's milk chocolate digestives
- 10% back on Asda's battered crispy fish strips
You can also earn rewards by completing "missions", which are usually tasks like spending a certain amount to earn a voucher, or buying certain products to earn another.
Some examples of these offered today include:
- Spend £50 by 30 September to earn £1.50
- Buy five health and beauty products by 24 August to earn £2 B
- Buy 10 packets or pieces of fruit and veg by 24 August to earn £1.50
Just be mindful of how much you're spending - not every deal will be worth the money you spend to get it and remember to look around other shops to see what deals they have to compare.

Rewards you earn can be accessed in your "cash pot" within the app.
