the orange ikea card also comes in handy for scraping off the ice on your car window screen in a morning (had to use mine the other day as my little boy broke my ice scraper) lol xx

just to mention, i've found there is free tea and coffee in the ikea cafe before 10.00am

(i've got there really early before, found that the cafe is open but the shop isn't open till 10am)

In the Glasgow store, they have this, but they also had a deal where you could buy a cooked breakfast for £1 between 9 and 10am (so you could get there early and have breakfast before the store opens). This was last year and we haven't been in a while, so I'm not sure if they're still doing this.

I found this. So it looks as if you can't yet sign up for the Family Card online, but you might be able to soon.

8 mile walk. That's luxury dude...it would take me over two hours just to drive to the store...and they don't do mail order >.<

Re mail order: they are currently trialling online ordering in Nottingham so hopefully will roll it out nationally soon.

Yes, the online link is

Online sign-up is "coming soon". But you don't get a big Ikea catalogue sent to you, just "A free copy of IKEA LIVE magazine".

Somehow this link has got an extra bit added to it. This one should work.

I have an IKEA Home Card (their store card), and it also entitles me to free tea and coffee 7 DAYS A WEEK. I have checked this, and it is available in ALL of their UK stores!

I know store cards can be expensive, but the IKEA card is also the cheapest in the country at 12.9% APR so it’s actually cheaper than many credit cards out there. Not only that, but last year I got invites to about 7 or 8 exclusive events and got access to free products, prize draws, free meals and money off - Discount in IKEA!!!

I don't want to sound like an advert, but surely this is a great deal!

I've got an ikea store card - for the free drinks - and my family card turned up in the post this week. Remember Ikea serve their 99p breakfast before the store opens - good to go with your free drink while you wait for them opening.

I'm sorry - I think this is dangerous!

When was the last time you came out from an IKEA without more than you intended? From 200 tealights to a new bed, you always spend more than intended, no matter how a money saver you are!

IKEA are great on so many levels, but I think they are an evil enemy to those paying off debts and trying to minimise expenditure. If one goes in there for a free coffee you come out with a cupboard.

DON'T DO IT!

Your message made me laff ! I always go in wanting a handful of small items-tea lights, wine glasses, tea towels and leave having spent over £100. I now leave all my credit cards at home ! And only take sall amounts of cash ! An ikea credit card would officially tip me over the debt edge !
I'm going on friday and will def be looking into the family card and the free tea tho-thanks OP. LL80

I've got a home card with Ikea already and have been told that the family card is different and is more of a loyalty card. I've been told by customer services that it's only available in 3 Ikea stores. That's us in Wales left out again then! We're always the last to get any new services, stock etc.

:beer: I don't normally contribute to these forums, but I have to say that IKEA Cardiff launched the Family card, in line with the rest of the UK, on Valentine's day. You can sign up for one in the Family department located just before the customer restaurant.
