She says: “Costa does a free cake on your birthday.
“I think you can literally pick anything.”
And she’s right.
All you have to do is download the Coffee to your phone.
It takes less than a minute to sign up and register to start receiving awards including this birthday cake freebie.
Three simple steps to secure:
1. Opt into marketing, then add your birthday by tapping the 'Settings' tab, then 'View and edit birthday' in the app.
2. When your big day arrives, open the app and check the rewards screen. A reward will be waiting for you to use on a cake of your choice.
3. Pop in your local Costa Coffee store, tap the reward and then 'Use now'. A QR code will appear for you to scan as normal at the till.
You can only receive one free birthday slice of cake a year but that’s alright but there’s plenty other awards to collect in the meantime.
