Purpldiscounts Reviews 

Purpl, by and large, are a great organisation for the disabled, which has answered the call of those people who have been crying out for a helping hand with the cost of living crisis.

As far as I know, they are essentially one of the few organisations out there, that are beginning to support the disabled community against how costly our daily living expenses can be.

It appears to me that they don’t just simply want to be just another discount code site, but somewhere that the disabled in the UK can feel a part of something and feel more involved.

Whilst I applaud them for doing this, and hope that they continue on down this path whilst also providing some much needed discounts along the way, I do feel that they may have jumped the gun slightly by introducing a subscription fee so early on after their inception.

My thoughts on this, is that maybe they should have waited to become more established first before hitting the community that they support with that payment.

One of the complaints that is levelled at Purpl, is that there aren’t enough discounts for essential goods and items.

Morrisons is a good example of what they need to do more of going forward, and I myself hope that they will be able to gather together more of the big name supermarkets for discount purposes further on down the line.

To counterbalance all of this, of course, is that, I’m not privy to their financial situation, and it may have been necessary to introduce the fee to help keep the site and all it has to offer going.

Also, at £9.99 a year, I would say that this is a nominal amount that can be afforded by most, and their statement of intent to improve the lives of the disabled by not just providing discounts bodes well for the future.

I really hope that the fee doesn’t put as many people off as it might do, as I believe that what they are doing, and intending to do to help support the disabled community is something that I find encouraging.

I found out about purpl through a motability magazine in May, I'd never heard of it before. i searched through what was available, not much that I could save money on but I could save some from Morrisons so I signed up. Within a month the sign-up criteria changed and there was now going to be a fee per year (£4.99 early bird or £10 thereafter), I was given a free first year as an incentive to join. My thoughts were have the year free and then re-evaluate, although I'm already quids in changing from Asda to Morrisons for my main shopping, I now order the cheapest from whichever shop Inc discount. As long as I still get the 10% discount upto £12 each shop then I'll continue to use purpl. Unfortunately I'm yet to find other codes useful as I don't wear makeup, we don't get fast food delivery here, I get free glasses and prescriptions, I can apply for white goods through a trust, I'm housebound and rely on everything coming to me so that rules out holidays. It has been useful though just to get a little discount from Morrisons, if only all supermarkets would do the same. Iceland won't deliver to me unless I go shop there first which kinda defeats the object of home shopping.

What a great idea to help disabled people with the offers that you provide. I can’t thank you enough it’s been such a help with my grocery shopping. Due to my health I need to have my shopping delivered. With your offer codes it makes my shopping delivery free.
The way you have kept us informed about the pip etc has been a life line. I was so worried at the time, I know without your updates, explained perfectly, I feel it would have personally affected my mental and physical health.
So a massive thanks for providing me with support.
Keep up the good work

A great savings on lots of different types and products absolutely helps disabled individuals so pleased with the site

I love Purpl!! I have only recently joined and I find the discounts are for products I actually use, unlike other sites which seem to focus on holiday & electronics discounts.
I use the Morrisons codes regularly as my daughter is gluten-free so that helps to offset the increase in her food, and I noticed today that there is a discount on Pharmacy2U which will be great for my medications!! I feel that Purpl are working really hard to negotiate discounts on products that disabled people actually buy, plus it's all in one place so no need to spend time faffing about on different sites.
Thanks Georgina & team, you're doing a brilliant job! X

The Morrisons discount is great. Buying certain products and food for my daughter is sometimes more expensive but having the discount helps. We have also successfully used it on a couple of other sites. The only downside is that often a brand offer a code, at sale or promotion time. Usually you can’t use a code on a promotion product so there are times it doesn’t work.

This is an excellent site, saving money on many things needed or would like to have in the future. I've saved £'s already with various savings on food, trains, everyday essentials. Not only money saving but Purpldiscounts team are striving towards making the world a bit easier for disabled people. Keep up the great work and a huge thankyou from me to you all. ☆☆☆☆☆♡♡♡♡♡

I highly recommend joining purple discounts for anybody with a disability it has partnerships with a wide range of vendors and can save disabled people hundreds of pounds per year.

Update - The owner contacted me and who was extremely helpful and apologetic. She provided a detailed explanation regarding the issue with the offer, reported the support form fault to her technical team, and requested the addition of an email address for direct contact.

I appreciate the quick response, and the fact that she eventually admitted that it was not me that it was an agency issue with the offer. I will give them another chance and can hopefully raise my review to 5 stars.

My wife just joined and decided to purchase the Wonky Coffee offer to save 25% of all products, she was disappointed to discover that the link to save 25% takes you through to a different page from their normal website, however the pricing is identical to their standard prices and there's no discount applied at all. It now makes me wonder if she just wasted money that she does not really have on a Purpl membership. She also tried to contact them through their support page (no phone number) and no matter how many times she tried it kept producing an error and would not submit the request.

I joined purpldiscounts after seeing details about them online. For someone who's disability has come on unexpectedly and ferociously, and having no cure, I was suddenly thrown into an area, I knew nothing about. I joined purpldiscounts, and I'm so happy I did. I've used quite a few of the discounts for places Georgina has negotiated, and I'm thrilled with the money I've saved, food, clothes, toiletries, shoes, and more. It's a blessing when you are suddenly plunged into the confusing world of benefits, and every penny is accounted for. The group is great for information, advice and support. I've had many questions answered whilst I navigate my 'new normal '. Everyone is so kind, and have a wealth of knowledge to share. Georgina works tirelessly to advocate for the disabled, and has secured discounts for us from an enormous amount of places. Its an excellent site, and, as far as I know, the only one to do so. I highly recommend them, it's an excellent source of ideas, and discounts for people with any form of disability

Fantastic savings! I've just purchased a new mattress from Silent night and saved £108. In future, my 1st stop will be their discount site. There's so many companies that have now been added, covering all types of purchases, too many to list them all, but, food, clothing and bedding are a few I'll definitely be using. It's really simple to do, but if in doubt, there's always friendly advice available on their FB page.

They started charging a fee to use the site which I think is disgraceful!

I have personally ran a similar site in the past and I know how it works, so they do not need to charge users!

They get affiliate payments every time you order using their links/codes.
So they make money already.

This is how all the voucher and cashback sites work.

None of them charge fees, but Purpl does now even though it is only for disabled people, who are the worst off in society, especially in todays age!

There is no need to charge users fees, especially when you can get most of these discounts on free voucher sites!

This will end up killing off this company permanently as people will stop using the site.

Really bad move.
Also not nice when its literally for disabled people!

Wow well I only joined February Purpl discounts popped up on my Facebook-
My fridge freezer packed in - I looked on the list of companies- Hoover was my choice £45 off new fridge freezer , so I decided to try Morrisons ( I shop online with them anyway so what’s to lose ?) 10% and mini basket of £25 ! Easy peasy - I’ve roughly totalled up I’ve saved since February at least £8 per week plus a whopping £35 off Ocado so 16 x8 + 45 +35 a Massive £208 , also may I add Team Purpl are so helpful with any Issuse using the vouchers codes , advice on what companies are included , they’ll let you know who they are approaching to add to the massive list and communication with users offers help and support too !
No regrets from me tho I do wish I’d joined it earlier -
Team Purpl 💜Thank you 🙏

Started charging for their service yet the quality of offers remains unchanged. Really poor offers despite having to pay an annual fee...

Sorry but many of the discount codes on this site you can obtain for free on other sites with no membership charge

Just with one company, we are saving between five and ten pounds per week on shopping which means even with the new paid membership of ten pounds a year, it will be so worth it to my household. On top of that regular saving, there are many other companies that we can make savings through. There are other features to help those with disabilities and I am so grateful to have found this website.

Since using the purpl I've saved £50 just on a couple of months of morrisons online shops. As a disabled person this makes a huge difference. I had one issue with a code once and they were super helpful in sorting it.

I've been using purpl for quite a while, I have only used morrisons codes and save around 10 pound a week at least , one week pays for the months delivery on what I've saved, even though it's a subscription now what I save 9.99 a year is well worth paying, means you can have little treats you wouldn't normally be able to afford, would love to see more food shops and yours clothing?

I love all that Purpldiscounts is trying to do to help make the lives of people with disabilities that little bit easier or indeed to give them the ability to have an occasional treat.

Admittedly I haven’t used the discounts much yet, but as relevant shopping crops up I will do.

I also love the additional blogs and information that are shared on the site.

No idea why people are complaining about the introduction of a minimal annual fee. A couple of orders from Morrisons and you’ve covered that and some. It costs money to run a business even one with a social purpose, these fees help to cover those costs and helps to ensure that the discounts they offer continue to be available to us.

5* isn’t enough!

Been with Purpl for only a couple of months but have made savings already , website is easy to navigate , and admin are very helpful if a code doesn t work etc . Fantastic site
