How to get a free coffee from Caffe Nero every week

APWhiteSavvy

Do you own a dog?
Do you have your phone contract with Three (3)?

If yes, read on as I've figured out a way to get a free coffee from Caffe Nero every single week.

I've been doing it for a couple of months now and thought I'd share with everyone else.

You'll need two things: The Biscuit app for iOS or Android, and the Three+ App. (Three "Plus" the rewards app, not the normal Three mobile app).

Create an account on the Biscuit app, add your dog, and complete a few starter badges for a big biscuit boost. You are then awarded biscuits for each dog walk you do. 25 per day maximum, and if you do 3 days a week, you'll get a 50 biscuit bonus.

Once you get around 470 biscuits (The amount varies slightly), you can redeem a Caffe Nero £5 voucher from the rewards section. This takes a few weeks to get, which I think is fine as I have to walk the dog twice per day anyways so I'm getting the points without any change in my normal routine.

Then, on the Three+ app (You'll need to create an account separate to your normal Three account FYI, but it still uses your Three mobile number and is exclusive to Three customers), there is a reward voucher for a £1 coffee from Caffe Nero.

This £1 voucher is available every week, resetting on Sunday, and can be claimed by up to 80,000 people a week. I've redeemed it every time at the end of the week no issue.

It applies to any drink, so go for something nice and luxurious in Caffe Nero, show them the £1 voucher and scan it. They'll ask you to pay £1. 

Then say you'll be paying with a gift card - pull out your £5 voucher from the Biscuit app and scan that.

Do this every week for 5 weeks. By the time it runs out, you'll have more than enough points to redeem another £5 Caffe Nero card from the Biscuit app. Repeat the process.

Endless 1x free coffee from Caffe Nero each week.

My wife also has Three, so we can both get the £1 coffee, but it means £2 is deducted from the gift card instead of £1. At this rate you might run out of credit before you get enough biscuits to buy another one, but it's still great value.

Or just have Gas or Electric with Octopus energy and get a free coffee from Nero without the faff!

I've just discovered that the Octoplus / Nero offer is not what I expected. There appears to be a limited number of coffees available nationwide per week. Turn up later in the week and the offer is unavailable in the app. Feels a bit of a con.

exactly - less people know about / do the method I mentioned, so it's much less likely you'll hit the weekly limit (which is 70,000 according to the Three+ app).

I appreciate there are other ways to get a free/discounted Caffe Nero coffee but I wanted to share this one based on the services and apps I currently use. I for example do not have Octopus Energy.

Claim the offer on a Monday and the barcode will still be there on the weekend to be used.

This is what I do - claim it on Monday as soon as I'm in thinking mode and then I have until the end of the week to find a Caffe Nero 😁

I don’t think I’ll be using the tip but thanks all the same.

we haven’t got a dog.  I hate coffee and he prefers tea.  The nearest Caffe Nero is about 14 miles return

Well, this is what I used to do . . . it appears that things have changed as I got the code on Monday of last week, went to get my coffee on Thursday, only to find the app said "All gone". I couldn't get back to my voucher. Same thing has happened this week, my voucher has disappeared, so I guess that this means that they issue more vouchers then they have cups of coffee?

Scroll to the bottom of the Octoplus page in the Octopus app and you can see your reward history and get the voucher from there.
