Iceland is giving away 'black cards' that give you free food for a whole YEAR

Iceland is giving away free “black cards” that give shoppers a year’s worth of free frozen chicken.

The card can be used to purchase from 215 frozen chicken products, including Iceland branded food and from its partnerships such as My Protein and TGIF.

The supermarket says it wants to celebrate mums with its new V.I.C (Very Important Chicks) card.

Iceland will hide five V.I.C cards in stores across the country from today - giving shoppers the chance to grab one at random.

If you find one, you’ll need to show it to an Iceland staff member who will verify the win.

Iceland shoppers are also able to nominate someone to win on the supermarket’s Instagram page.

The winning person nominated via Instagram will be randomly selected by Iceland on May 23.

Samuel Robbins-Wells, Head of Category at Iceland said: “Unlike other brands, our V.I.C card is created with mums in mind.

“We wanted to give back to the V.I.Cs who come to our stores for their weekly shop.

“As the home of many amazing partnerships and exclusives, all shoppers who visit us instore and online can make the most of the value we offer and pick from our varied range of frozen products to find something the whole family can enjoy.”

The news comes as Iceland is set to close more stores within weeks after a number of other branches have shut down across the UK.

The frozen foods giant plans to shut its Iceland store in Flint, Wales, with its last day open for business reportedly set to be May 27.

Iceland will also close its branch in Beccles, Suffolk, on June 27.

Iceland has more than 800 branches and 153 Food Warehouse stores across the UK, and last year opened 24 new branches.

Last month they announced its stores in Harrow, London, and at White Rose Centre, in Rhyl, would close.

Other shops that have also shut over the last few months include its Mill Lane branch in Bromsgrove, and another shop at Chineham Shopping Centre in Basingstoke.

Two other stores closed for the final time last month, including its branch on South Street, Newport, Isle of Wight and another shop in St Catherine’s Place, Bedminster, Bristol.

The Deiniol Centre store, in Bangor, also closed in March.
