For when you fancy a treat and you don’t want to make your coffee at home this is where the coffee shops step in to help with the fix.

Here’s how to get free coffee at all your favourite coffee shops:

1. Costa Coffee

   

   Collect Costa Club beans

   Costa has a loyalty card  called Costa Club. For each eligible drink you’ll receive one ‘bean’.

   You’ll get one bean and this includes at the Costa Express machines (they count as part of the meal deal too, amazing). Once you’ve collected enough beans you can then use your points to redeem a free drink! 

   However, there’s an even quicker way to get your coffee for free. If you bring your own reusable cup, you’ll get a bonus bean.

   At two beans per purchase, you’ll only need to buy a total of four drinks with a reusable cup before you get your free coffee. 

   Birthday Freebie at Costa

   Once you’ve downloaded the app did you know that you can also get a birthday freebie at costa on your birthday? Take a look at our birthday freebies list to see everything you can claim for your birthday for free! 

2. Caffè Nero

   

   Use Caffè Nero’s loyalty card app

   Caffè Nero’s loyalty card app is you buy nine hot drinks and you’ll get the 10th free. There’s plenty of ways that you can add bonuses to downloading the app.

   As soon as you download the app using our link and make your first purchase, you’ll get a voucher for a free hot drink! There’s an extra way to have a free coffee! 

   And if you have your own reusable coffee cup, make sure to bring it along with you. Every time you use it, you’ll get a bonus stamp and bring yourself even closer to that next free coffee!

3. Greggs

   

   Download the Greggs app

   Greggs has come into the loyalty card world and similar to the other coffee apps they’re doing the 10th free. Buy 9, and get your 10th free.

   However, Greggs have generously added on their other menu items to their loyalty card. This means Greggs breakfast items, sandwiches, sausage rolls, and hot drinks are included. Every item on their menu is included! Buy 9, receive the 10th free. This means if you buy a breakfast combo you’ll receive a point each for the breakfast item and the coffee! 

   Greggs also give away free treats on the app every so often throughout the year too. Did you know that you can also get a birthday freebie at Greggs on your birthday? Take a look at our birthday freebies list to see everything you can claim for your birthday for free! 

    

4. McDonald’s

   

   Coffee may not be the first drink you go for at McDonald’s, but it does now have a points loyalty app.

   Collect points on the MyMcDonald’s Rewards app

   Many years ago you were able to collect ‘McCafé stickers’. Six of them would be valid for a free hot drink. Now with the new ‘My McDonald’s Rewards app’.

   Now you can collect points on all your McDonald’s purchases. They’ve switched up their loyalty scheme rather than product purchases for points. Every 1p you spend is worth one point. There are also bonus points on the app for certain menu items. To get a free hot drink from McDonald’s, you’ll need to collect 1,500 points (£15).

   NOT COFFEE APPS BUT NOTEABLE MENTIONS: 

5. Get a free drink every week with O2 Priority

   O2 are a phone contract app that lets their users grab a free Greggs coffee from week to week! 

6. THREE PLUS Get A Caffè Nero COFFEE FOR £1 EACH WEEK 

   Three have recently come out with their own version of a loyalty app for their customers. 

   Three+ users can now grab a Caffè Nero coffee each week for £1. That’s any size, any drinks, included whipped creams/syrups etc! Go treat yourself and remember to download the app to also scan for your stamps! 

Now you’re set with your coffee apps, time to download, and treat yourself!
