It'll be a very Merry Christmas as Asda to reward customers saving for the Christmas Season
The Christmas Saver Cashpot is a new feature within the Asda Rewards app which will allow customers to save their Cashpot for spending over the Christmas period, where budgets may be tight this year.
Customers will also be able to transfer savings from their Cashpot into their Christmas Saver Cashpot as many times as they’d like, up to a maximum amount of £300 in total.
Asda customers that transfer money into their Christmas Saver Cashpot will also receive a one-off cash bonus dependant on the amount they transfer.
Cash bonuses will be added to customers Christmas Saver Cashpot between 20th November and 24th November 2023.
Customers can choose to convert their Christmas Saver Cashpot into vouchers to spend either in an Asda store or online between 24th November 2023 and 31st December 2023.
Vouchers can be created out of their Cashpot with as little as £1. With the maximum voucher amount at £100, there are plenty of ways Asda customers can utilise their Cashpots.
The move comes as Asda’s latest Income Tracker reveals families in some UK regions are left with little to spend on themselves after paying taxes and essential bills.
Asda Rewards now has over five million active users in the UK and has given customers over £198m million back on their shopping since last August.
Every time they shop, customers complete Missions and buy Star Products to help grow their Cashpot. There are new missions and events each week, so there are plenty of ways for customers to maximise the Rewards they earn.
For customers who are looking to further boost their savings for the festive season, Asda also offers a Christmas Savings Gift Card. The savings card can be topped up at any time with the benefit of receiving a bonus from Asda in November. All shoppers need dop is just load money onto the card before 12th November and they can receive a bonus of up to £15.
In 2022, Asda gave £1.3million in bonuses to over 170,000 customers. For more details visit asdagiftcards.com/christmas-savings

Merry Christmutts! Duerr's & Sons Ltd's 'Peamutt Butter' Secures Retail Exclusive for Holiday Gifting 2023
To say, “Yappy Holidays” Peamutt Butter has launched what it feels is the perfect treat-and-toy combo that promises to keep your dog entertained this Christmas.
The gift box includes a specially designed 'snow scene' winter jar of Peamutt Butter (340g) that sits alongside a festive red treat dispenser. The toy is designed to be stuffed or smothered in Peamutt Butter.
Landing exclusively in Sainsbury's stores from October 2023, the Christmas gift pack will be available for purchase nationwide, MRRP: £8.00 while stocks last.
Capitalising on the growing pet gifting trend, Duerr's & Sons LTD will also be distributing its holiday jar across all its independent and national retail stockists. The winter label will feature the newly redesigned brand mascot Peamutt sledging into Christmas.
The Christmas Peamutt Butter (340g) jar will be available in Morrisons, Pets at Home, Tesco, Sainsburys, Morrison's, The Range, Amazon, Jollyes and a host of independent retailers priced from around £2.50.
Last Christmas a data poll of 2,000 pet owners showed that a quarter of British shoppers were more likely to gift their pets than their partners – with the average spend hitting the £30 to £40 mark per dog.
Carrying this trend into 2023, Duerr's & Sons LTD believe the Christmas Peamutt Butter packaging and gift pack are an affordable option for dog owners looking to spoil their pet this festive season.
Sales and marketing director, Richard Duerr said: “Christmas is the ultimate gifting opportunity for pets and something Peamutt Butter is yet to explore. The gift pack with Sainsbury's felt like the perfect opportunity to get Peamutt Butter in front of new consumers and get some strong sales across the Christmas period.
“We are conscious many shoppers will be looking for something festive for their dogs this year, but at a reasonable price point. The presentation gift pack is an accessible fun gift for all dogs that can keep them entertained beyond Christmas and into the New Year. A gift that provides longevity past the festive season and really shows off the unique creamy, non-oily, texture of our Peamutt Butter.”
Peamutt Butter is a high protein treat for your pampered dog, a tasty snack for your four-legged friend, and contains heart-healthy fats, vitamin B, niacin and vitamin E.
This spreadable, smooth peanut butter is designed to be used on dog toys and lick mats, as well as a training treat. Tapping into the ever growing 'fur baby' trend it can also be used as ingredient for dog home-baking.
Duerr's & Sons Manchester LTD – established in 1881 – is a family business barking mad about dogs. Famed nationwide for its household jams and marmalades, Duerr's & Sons is the biggest producer of peanut butter in the UK.
Peamutt Butter was crafted by this family of dog lovers to ensure everyone in the family can enjoy the joys of the nutty treat. Earlier this year, the product underwent a rebrand, introducing its new mascot Peamutt – the first of its kind since Peamutt Butter launched in 2016.
Ranked the UK's number 1 peanut butter for dogs, the Christmas Sainsbury's exclusive follows a new 2023 listings in Morrisons and ASDA. Peamutt Butter is also stocked in JS, Tesco, Jollyes and the Range and continues to grow, with sales of Peamutt Butter up 63% on 2022.
