How to get an Advantage card

There are two types of cards, Yellow Advantage Cards for Borough residents (RBWM council tax payers) and Blue Advantage Cards for non-residents.

The Advantage Card entitles you to over 170 discounts, plus Special Offers by email or online every month.

Yellow cards: Residents of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead are entitled to cards free of charge. The subscription must be renewed every two years by the cardholder with proof of address, but keep the same card.

Blue cards: If you live outside of the Borough, blue non-resident Advantage cards are available for an annual fee of £29.50 for adults, £43.10 for families (2 adults, 3 children), £8.50 for juniors and £7.40 for over 60s and disabled people. If you work within the Royal Borough, there are 50% discounts on these fees if you and four of your colleagues wish to join the scheme. Blue non-resident cards do not cover free entry into Windsor Castle or car-parking discounts.

Where to get an Advantage Card: If you would like an Advantage card, please visit one of the issuing sites. For a first card, you will need to bring two proofs along - one for identity and one for address (such as your Council Tax bill or a utility bill). Children can get an Advantage Card as soon as they start being charged for leisure centre activities (e.g from 2 months old if using the creche at Windsor, or swimming from 3yrs). Young applicants needing their own Advantage Card require official letters which show the child's name and address e.g vaccination reminders, child trust fund info, child benefit info or school letters. To do our part on saving the environment, we request that you keep the same card and renew your subscription every two years at an issuing centre with proof of address. Existing RBWM resident Advantage Cardholders, over 18, registered on the Electoral Roll and who do not need a replacement card can now renew subscriptions online. Complete this on-line form and join our email newsletter at the same time. If you have lost your card, there is a £5 replacement fee and you need to get a new card from an issuing site.
