When you buy a Jamii membership, you can save up to 40% at the businesses we’re partnered with for an entire year. As of 29 April 2020, membership works on a yearly subscription basis – 12 months of discounts for just £14.95!
Your Jamii subscription lasts for one year and automatically renews, meaning you don’t need to worry about your membership running out.
You should receive your card within 3-5 working days of you purchasing it. However, your online discounts are available from the minute you buy!
If you haven’t received your Jamii card , drop an email to [email protected].
To view the online discount codes, you need to set up an online account. You can do that by clicking here.
If you’re a cardholder shopping on one of our partner’s sites, simply log in to your Jamii account to retrieve your code and type it in at the checkout.
When you are shopping on the Jamii website, your discounts are automatically applied at the checkout.
When you’re shopping in person, either at one of our partnered stores and restaurants or at a marketplace where one of our partners are trading, present your Jamii card upon purchase.
Not at all! You can create an account to create Wishlists of the products you have your eye on, but you won’t be able to access the discounts.
If you have tried to use a discount code or have a discount applied instore and this has been denied, please contact [email protected] immediately and she will get back to you as soon as possible.
For some businesses, the discount only applies at certain times or on certain products. This is specified on each partner page. However, we always want to know if you are having any difficulties.
If you are logged in as a cardholder and making a purchase from one of our partners directly through the Jamii site, your discounts will be automatically applied – no code necessary!
Absolutely not – the more the better!
Mostly, although some of our partners do increase the offer seasonally.
With most partners, you won’t be able to do this. Where you can, we will specify it on their page.
It does indeed!
It takes up to 12 hours for your account to be activated. If you’ve been waiting for longer than this time, please drop an email to [email protected] and she will look into it for you.
Refunds on subscription Jamii membership are available until 14 days after purchase. Once 14 days have passed, you may cancel your subscription and this will take effect on the next payment date.

Our mission is to get people to become more conscious when shopping, reframing the buyer’s perspective from ‘pounds spent’ to ‘spending power’. Change comes from sustained, long-term action, which can’t simply rely on moral reasoning. By offering a discount, we’re tapping into people’s inner psychology – do the right thing while getting a reward yourself. It reminds people to think of black-owned businesses every time they spend.
Every single business that we partner with is black-owned, but some are retailers or marketplaces, meaning they sell products made by non-black-owned companies. We will always make it clear when this is the case.
Yes, but not in a way that compromises our purpose; we do not have any non-black-owned businesses on our platform. However, we do work with companies if we believe they can help amplify our mission. For instance, Bacardi rum supported us in the production of CULTURE&SOUND, an event to rediscover the roots of Notting Hill Carnival.
Jamii was founded – and is owned – by Khalia Ismain (@khaliaismain).
