The offer is valid until 23 October and customers must book a flu jab at an Asda pharmacy, which costs £9.98.
They will then receive a cash reward through the new Asda Rewards loyalty scheme app.
Customers will be credited with £1 into their “cash pot” which can be used to get money off a shop.
Through the app, customers can earn vouchers to save money on future grocery bills and are credited with “Asda pounds” rather than points.
Customers can also use the app to get cash back, as well as money off at the checkout.
Asda Pharmacy will also offer free flu jabs to anyone who qualifies through the NHS from 15 October.
“We want to give back to shoppers who book their jab, which is why we’re giving Asda Rewards users the opportunity to earn some money in their cash pot which they can then put towards their essentials,” Asda superintendent pharmacist, Faisal Tuddy said.
