I can't log in - I'm not receiving a password reset email
See moreWe've put together some troubleshooting steps for you to try before getting in touch with us. For the quickest resolution, please give these a go!
Does this match your issue:
I am trying to log in to my account and get the 'Wrong email or password' error message. I use the 'Forgot password?' button, but I'm not receiving the password reset email to the email address that I enter, so I can't access my account.
We got you! Here's some possible solutions:
Firstly, when trying to reset your password, you must enter the email address linked to your Blue Light Card account.
Troubleshooting step 1:
Even if you're sure that you're entering the correct email address, it's worth trying any other email addresses you've got access to. The majority of our members who contact us for help with logging in forget that they signed up under their work email address! The reset password email might take 5-10 minutes to come through after you've requested it.
Top tip: search for 'Blue Light Card' in all email inboxes you have access to (work and personal), whichever one you have received marketing emails or updates to is likely the email address you need to use to change your password.
If you've tried step 1 and you're still not receiving the password reset email, try this next step.
Troubleshooting step 2:
Add noreply@services.bluelightcard.co.uk to your email contacts/Safe Senders list and try sending the password reset email again. The reset password email might take 5-10 minutes to come through after you've requested it.

How do I change the password to my account?
See moreIf you can't log in to your account, you can select the 'Forgot password?' option on the website or app login page.
Website App Once you've clicked the link, you'll need to enter the email address linked to your account to receive a password reset email.
When you try to reset your password, the email that is sent to you for this can sometimes be slightly delayed up to 1 hour
