    Hope this is not a stupid question but what is a "my Waitrose Card" is it sort of like Tesco Clubcard or is it a credit card?

    How do I get one as the nearest little supermarket to where I work is Waitrose and I occasionally use it to get a lunch time drink etc.

    Thanks

    You can apply for one on line at the Waitrose website.http://www.waitrose.com/content/waitrose/en/home/mywaitrose/mywaitrose_welcome.html

    It is not like a clubcard or credit card. It is just card that they swipe when you purchase anything and they send you offers from time to time. You also get entered into competitions.

    The card also gets you certain discounts eg the mailing this week is a % off skincare or something like that but a few weeks ago it was a % off ready meals. So really worth getting. Plus pick up the mag instore for moneyoff vouchers.

    The % off ready meals (milk at the moment) are on posters in store. I usually get a free coffee and take it to Starbucks next door to drink quietly. No spend required.
  • I'm not sure why this is on the low spend board rather than the freebie board -- it's totally free tea and coffee, 7 days a week, and they're always happy to do a cappuccino or a latte at our Waitrose. The only catch is the long queue of people picking up free coffees.

    The other free coffee card I have is IKEA Family; free coffee Monday to Friday. Both of these are completely free.

    I run, so I run to Waitrose (2.5 miles) or IKEA (2.8 miles), get a free coffee, run home.
    Make £2023 in 2023: (all decluttering), current total £2860 me, £330 for friends & family, £468 charity donations.

    I would imagine it is because originally you had to purchase something in the cafe to get your free tea or coffee?
    No buying toiletries challenge - possibly for most of 2011,2012,2013,2014,2015!

    We have a choice of two branches of Waitrose; both within less than 10 minutes at a nice slow walking pace...I'd spill it if I was running...
  • While I was getting my free coffee this afternoon the member of staff said that Waitrose maybe stopping the free coffee/tea soon.

    From Monday 1st July Waitrose will include new weekday papers in their free offer - this includes the Guardian and others. Best of all, the offer will include weekends - this includes the Telegraph and others.
    I'm sure Waities will announce all the details soon. I was told this at the till yesterday by a cashier who read from an internal staff memo.
