Asda customers who sign up for its popular Rewards app for the first time will receive a free £5 to spend in their Cashpot.

The big four supermarket launched the offer yesterday and will run it until the end of this month.

To take advantage of the "First Scan Bonus" offer, all shoppers need to do is download the Asda Rewards app and sign up for an account.

After you have done this, you will need to complete a food shop at Asda, after this you will then receive the £5 in your Cashpot.

The best part about this is that there is no minimum spend on your first shop and you can do it online or in-store.

Although take note that you will need to complete your first shop by February 28.

The Asda Rewards is an app-based loyalty scheme and is self-styled as being about "pounds, not points".

The vouchers can be created with as little as £1, and with the maximum voucher amount at £100.

A shopper's Cashpot will build up in the Asda Rewards app as they shop and you can then scan the app at the check-out.

It can also be linked up to an Asda.com online account for those shopping online.

People can then claim their cash whenever they choose by creating a voucher in the app.

You can also pick up extra in the Cashpot by purchasing "Star Products" or even by completing in-app missions.

Alongside the £5 offer, Asda is introducing new Milestone missions and Star Products every week and for events like Valentine’s Day, Half-Term and Mother’s Day.

Milestones are missions that will allow you to earn Asda Pounds based on the total spend that you accumulate.

According to the supermarket giant, Asda shoppers could earn £20 in their Cashpot throughout February and March with these missions.

Asda launched its rewards scheme last August and currently has over four million active users.

Last month, the supermarket announced a "shakeup" to its rewards app and gave shoppers more time to spend their vouchers after creating it on the app.

This time period was tripled going from the original one month to three.

Asda said the change allows shoppers more time to build up their Cashpots and lets their customers save them for a special occasion such as a birthday or holiday.
