Does Superdrug Give an Over-60s Discount?
Last checked November 2026. Offers and rules change: confirm with the provider before you rely on them.
No: Superdrug does not advertise a discount or a special scheme for over-60s. Its savings come through the free Health & Beautycard, which gives every member points, lower member prices and cheaper delivery whatever their age.
What Superdrug's own website confirms
We read Superdrug's "All about the Health & Beautycard" page on 12 November 2026. It makes no mention of an over-60s rate. At the time of writing (November 2026) it sets out these benefits for all members:
- Points. You earn 1 point for every £1 you spend, and you can spend points in multiples of 100, with 100 points worth £1. That is a penny back in the pound at the basic rate.
- Part-payment. You can pay with a mixture of points and money, in store or online, so you do not need to save up a large balance first.
- Member pricing. "Exclusive lower prices for selected products both in store and online", with the products changing every few weeks.
- Treat Thursday. A member discount each Thursday on a different brand or type of product. Superdrug says it emails the details to customers with an online account.
- Bonus points. Triple or extra points on selected products or during special events.
- Cheaper delivery. Free standard delivery on orders over £20 for members, compared with £25 for non-members, and you can also have orders sent to a store to collect.
- A birthday treat.
Superdrug says you can pick up a free card in any store and either register it online or fill in a registration form in store, so you do not need the internet or a smartphone to join. The details are on the Superdrug Health & Beautycard page.
Reported, but not confirmed by us
- 10% off for over-60s. Some round-ups of pensioner discounts include Superdrug. We found nothing on Superdrug's site to support it. We suspect confusion with Boots, which does have an over-60s scheme.
- 10% off for students and NHS staff. Third-party discount sites report that Superdrug gives these groups 10% off with a Health & Beautycard and valid ID. The Superdrug page we read does not mention it, so we could not confirm the terms. If you or a family member work for the NHS, ask in store.
- Blue Light Card and similar schemes. Offers through membership schemes for emergency service and care workers come and go. Check the scheme's own current list.
- Vaccinations and health services. Many Superdrug branches have a pharmacy or nurse clinic. What is free for you on the NHS depends on your age, health and where in the UK you live, not on the shop. Ask your GP surgery or pharmacist.
Other ways an older shopper saves at Superdrug
Own-brand basics
Superdrug's own-label toiletries, vitamins and medicines are usually priced well below the famous names. For medicines, the pharmacist can tell you whether an own-brand product contains the same active ingredient as the branded one you normally buy. See our note on vitamins and supplements before spending much on those.
Member prices: join before you buy
As at the big supermarkets, some shelf labels show a lower price for cardholders. Because the card is free and can be picked up at the till, there is no reason to pay the higher price. Our loyalty cards compared guide explains how these two-tier prices work.
Multi-buys and "3 for 2"
These suit things that keep and that you use steadily, such as toothpaste, soap and razor blades. They are poor value on anything you are trying for the first time.
Prescriptions
Where a branch has a pharmacy, NHS prescriptions are dispensed on the same terms as anywhere else. They are free from 60 in England and free for everyone in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. See free prescriptions and eye tests.
Online orders
If getting to the shops is difficult, the £20 free-delivery threshold for members is lower than many retailers'. If you are new to ordering online, start with online shopping for beginners.
How Superdrug compares
| Superdrug | Boots | |
|---|---|---|
| Over-60s scheme | None advertised | Over 60s Rewards |
| Standard points | 1 point per £1 | 3 points per £1 |
| Over-60s points | No extra | 8 points per £1 on Boots brands |
| Value of a point | 1p | 1p |
Figures are from each retailer's own website at the time of writing (November 2026). Points are only part of the story: the shelf price matters more. For any regular purchase, compare the price at both chains and at your supermarket, such as Tesco or Aldi or Lidl.
