Caffè Nero FAQ:
Does the Caffè Nero referral code expire?
My referral invitation is always valid. Once you receive your free drink voucher, it is typically valid for 60-90 days (check the expiry date in your app wallet).
What drinks are included in the free offer?
You can usually choose any barista-prepared hot or cold drink, including speciality lattes, hot chocolates, and frappes. It typically excludes bottled drinks and snacks.
Can I use this with the Octopus Energy (Octoplus) or Three+ rewards?

Do I need to enter a manual invite code?
No. By clicking the
Can I get a free drink if I already have the app?
The referral bonus is strictly for new users who haven’t registered an account before. However, if you already have the app, you can still get free drinks by using a reusable cup (to get double stamps) or by linking your myWaitrose card to your profile.
Is the free drink valid for any size?
Yes! One of the best things about the Caffè Nero reward voucher is that it is typically valid for any barista-made drink, including Regular or Grande sizes. You can also usually add syrups or extra shots at no extra cost when redeeming the voucher.
How many stamps do I need for a free coffee?
Caffè Nero uses a 9-stamp system. You earn 1 stamp for every drink you buy. Once you reach 9 stamps, your 10th drink is free. Top Tip: If you use a reusable cup, you get 2 stamps per visit, meaning you get a free drink after every 5th purchase!
Does Caffè Nero offer a Student Discount?
Yes. Caffè Nero currently offers a 25% student discount on all barista-made drinks. To claim this, you must verify your student status through the app (usually via StudentBeans). This discount can be used alongside the loyalty stamps.
Can I use my free drink voucher at the airport?
Most Caffè Nero branches in the UK accept the app and vouchers. However, some “franchise” locations (often found in airports or some train stations) may have limited participation. It is always worth scanning your app anyway to see if you can at least collect stamps!
Can I refer my own friends later?
Absolutely! Once you have set up your account and made a purchase, you will find your own unique “Refer a Friend” link in the app settings. For every friend you refer who makes a purchase, you will receive another free drink voucher.
