Is the Greggs birthday freebie actually free

paul2louise

Dumb question but only downloaded app the other day. It's my birthday and it says free treat with any purchase so it isn't totally free.

If you are not being charged for the free treat then it is totally free

It's the old argument of is the buy one get one free one really free.  Or is it two at half price.

Thanks @molerat @bluelad1927 so it's free if you buy something, yet Lidl doughnut is totally free, Hobbycraft £5 which is free. So may have a think.

Perhaps it's in the Freebies (low spend) category (as in the sub-board you selected).  Presumably there's something else which doesn't cost much (even if it's another doughnut - I have no idea of the prices in Greggs).

Have they changed it then? I've definitely just got the free treat, with no spend, up till now.

Last year it was definitly free with no spend, so unless something changed in the last four months.

It was free last November as my son collected one on his birthday.

It doesn't say you have to pay anything.

I can confirm that your birthday reward lasts 1 month though - but can only be used once.
