HSBC Caffe Nero offer

I got an email just now:

"Make your everyday spend pay

Turn everyday credit card spending into Caffè Nero drinks

All you have to do is use your credit card 5 times a month – from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025.

Each time you make 5 transactions you’ll get a handcrafted hot or cold drink at Caffè Nero. And you can get up to 3 drinks per month.

Opt-in by Monday 31 March 2025 to get going. Then make sure you have the Caffè Nero app – you’ll need it to claim your drinks."

I'll get 15 loose bananas on the first of each month.

    I got an offer today too, but very different from yours. 
    See below. 


    Here's an offer you don't get every day…

    1% cashback, just for making your normal purchases.

    All you have to do is use your credit card 3 times a month – from 1 April 2025 to 30 June 2025.

     Reach that threshold and you'll get 1% cashback (up to £15 per month) on all your month's spending.

    Opt-in by Monday 31 March 2025 to get going.

    I got the coffee offer too. Think I’d prefer the cashback version

    Coffee offer is better for me too as I get around 1% cashback anyway (with other cards) and I think the coffee vouchers will have a long expiry.

    Do you think these offers are real, or scam? 
    I had the coffee offer too, and I've made transactions on my card, but no coffee!?

    The terms on my offer stated the coffee code/voucher would be emailed to me by the end of the month after the qualifying purchases.

    I made 15 purchases in April so should receive 3 coffee codes by the end of May.

    Crumpet_man, is yours a rewards credit card or the standard credit card?
    I visited a HSBC bank today, and they didnt know anything about the offer!? and I must have deleted the email, so couldn't show them.
