App Freebies: The Full List!
Let’s be honest, if you’re not using apps to grab freebies these days, you’re definitely missing out on a surprising amount of free food and drink.
From free coffees and doughnuts, plus burgers, tacos and even chicken, plenty of restaurants and food chains offer rewards simply for downloading their app and signing up. Most of these offers are aimed at new users, which luckily means you can claim them straight away.
We’ve rounded up some of the best app freebies currently available in the UK. Offers can change from time to time, so it’s always worth checking the app for the latest details before heading out.
Freebies You Can Get Right Now
Greggs App
One of the UK’s most popular freebie offers comes from Greggs. New users can usually claim a free hot drink when they sign up for the Greggs Rewards app. This summer, they can also get a free cold drink, like a cloudy lemonade over ice, if they want.
Claiming this one is easy. Download the app from whatever app store you need to use, and once you’ve signed up with your details, you should see the offer available in the ‘Wallet’ section of the app down at the bottom. Click it and you can present a code to the cashier at Greggs to claim your freebie. Make sure you absolutely have it all ready to go before you head to Greggs though!
Krispy Kreme App
Fancy a sweet treat? Download the Krispy Kreme app and new users can typically claim a free Original Glazed doughnut.
It’s one of the simplest freebies around and perfect if you’re passing a participating store. Download the app, and you should have a free doughnut added to your ‘rewards’ tab on the app, which you can scan at your local Krispy Kreme for your freebie.
Taco Bell App
Taco Bell regularly rewards new app users with a free Crunchy Taco after signing up.
Not bad for spending a couple of minutes creating an account! Again, just sign up and you should keep a close eye on the ‘rewards’ section of the app to see if you get a freebie. Once you do, scan it in-store at one of the kiosks or at the counter at your local Taco Bell.
Burger King App
When you join the Burger King app, you’ll often receive enough welcome points to redeem a free item such as fries, a burger, a drink or another snack.
The exact reward can vary, but it’s a great introduction to the loyalty scheme. You should see a place on the app to redeem your points, so just hit that and see if you have enough. Pick what you want to redeem your points on, and it should show up in your ‘Rewards’ section at the bottom of the app.
KFC App
Chicken fans should definitely download the KFC app. Previous new-user promotions have included a free Mini Fillet Bucket simply for registering.
Offers can change, but KFC frequently runs app-exclusive giveaways and rewards.
Dunkin’ App
If you have a participating Dunkin’ location nearby, new users have been able to claim a free drink of their choice after signing up.
A nice little bonus if you’re a coffee lover.
Birthday App Freebies
Your birthday is one of the best times to cash in on app rewards.
Costa Club
Costa regularly offers members a free slice of cake on their birthday.
Not only do you get to celebrate, but your wallet gets a little treat too. It shows up in ‘your rewards’ on the app, which can then be scanned in-store.
Other Birthday Rewards
Many restaurant and coffee shop loyalty schemes offer birthday perks throughout the year. Depending on the brand, these can include free meals, desserts, snacks or drinks. It’s worth signing up to your favourites before your birthday month arrives.
A Few Things To Remember
Before you start downloading every app under the sun, keep these tips in mind:
- Most offers are for new users only.
- Some freebies are location-dependent.
- Promotions can change or end without notice.
- You’ll usually need to create an account to qualify.
- Check the terms and conditions before making a special trip.
Free Food Really Is Just a Download Away
With the cost of eating out continuing to rise, app freebies are one of the easiest ways to save money. Whether you’re after a free coffee from Greggs, a doughnut from Krispy Kreme or a Taco from Taco Bell, there are plenty of opportunities to grab something for nothing.
Download a few apps, keep an eye on your rewards section, and you might be surprised how many freebies you can collect throughout the year.
