Claim once a week

For Octopus Energy customers with a smart meter only

If you're a member of Octoplus Rewards, you can claim one free drink each week, in-store from either Caffè Nero or Greggs.

How to get it

Octoplus Rewards is free to join for Octopus Energy customers with a smart meter. If you're eligible, you can sign up via its website or app.

Once signed in you'll be able to choose between a free drink offer from either Caffè Nero or Greggs. You'll only be able to redeem one of them, so choose wisely. 

octoplus-rewards-drink

When you arrive at either Caffè Nero (find your nearest) or Greggs (find your nearest), select 'reveal offer' in the Octoplus tab of the Octopus app. When you're ready to pay, select 'activate offer' and show the staff member your QR code.

You'll need to use your code in the same week you claim it on your account. Codes expire every Sunday at 11.59pm.

Caffè Nero lets you choose selected hot or cold drinks, whereas the Greggs freebie must be a 'regular' size hot drink. For exclusions, see more info below.

Warning: When you click 'activate offer' you'll only have a limited time to redeem it, so make sure staff at the till are ready before you activate it.

For Three mobile customers

Via the Three+ app, any day, once a week

While this isn't a freebie, we still think £1 for a barista-made drink at a big coffee chain is a good deal worth sharing. If you're a Three pay monthly or pay-as-you-go mobile customer, download the Three+ app (free at the App store or Google Play) to get a barista-made hot or cold drink for £1 at Caffè Nero (find your nearest).

You can claim the £1 drink once a week on any day of the week, from café opening to close – see 'More info' below for the full list of included beverages. There's no minimum spend and this applies to any size hot or cold drink prepared by a barista (excludes bottled drinks, cartons and cans).

To get your caffeine fix for a quid, you'll need to go to the Three+ app and select the offer. This will display a QR code which you can then show at the till. A new code will be generated each week.

While prices of drinks vary on the Caffè Nero menu, some can cost up to £4.15 (for example, a frappe with cream and marshmallows), so you could save up to £3.15 with this deal. 

You can't use the Caffè Nero rewards app when claiming this drink. The deal isn't valid for click and collect or delivery, and it can't be used alongside any other offer.

More info

Included drinks are:

  • Coffee: latte, cappuccino, americano, flat white, espresso, cortado, iced latte, iced cappuccino, mocha, iced flat white, iced pistachio latte, frappe crème (including any seasonal varieties and all types of milk and syrups)

  • Hot chocolate

  • Teas and iced teas

  • Fruit boosters

Free protection for all shopping!

There's a little-known piece of legislation that turns any credit card into a financial self-defence superhero. 'Section 75' of the Consumer Credit Act means your plastic must protect anything you buy for more than £100 for free, so if there's a problem or the company goes bust, you can still get your money back.
And although Section 75 doesn't apply to debit cards, there is something else to fall back on if you've paid using a debit card, or used a credit card for a purchase under £100. Known as Chargeback, this is part of banks' and card companies' internal rules and not a legal requirement. Read full details of Section 75 or Chargeback, plus how to claim, in our guides.
