What is an Asda delivery pass and how does it work?
Asda offers delivery passes so customers who order online don’t have to pay for each individual drop-off of groceries to their door.
Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons also offer delivery passes to shoppers.
Asda also has different levels of pass – it’s £6.50 for a monthly anytime pass or £65 for the year.
You can pay for an annual Tuesday to Thursday membership for just £35.
You should only consider taking out a delivery pass if you order groceries online regularly.
Existing Asda customers can buy a delivery pass online on the supermarket’s website.
If you don’t already have an account, new customers will need to set one up online.
