COSTA Coffee is giving away free hot drinks to customers via its mobile app.

Coffee lovers will be able to claim one free drink worth £3, starting today, July 6.

Customers can get 300 points to spend on drinks and food worth up to £3.

Neil Lake, managing director of Costa Coffee UK&I, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the positive feedback from our customers as we begin to re-open our stores. As we near our next key milestone of 2000+ store re-openings by the end of July, we’re delighted to treat Costa Coffee fans to a handcrafted drink, on us.

“To ensure both our customers and team members are safe we have introduced some new measures across our estate, while also maintaining the warm environment that we know they have been missing."

Any new customer who downloads and registers with the Costa Coffee mobile app will receive 300 bonus points instantly (equivalent to £3) to spend in a Costa Coffee store or Costa Coffee drive-thru in the UK.

Any Coffee Club card customers just need to download the app and log in with their existing registered username and password.
