Addicted to Costa Coffee but can't afford to go very often? You can use a sneaky trick called 'Wombling' to get free lattes, biscuits and more!
You might have heard of the Costa Coffee Card, but did you know you can use other people's receipts to earn yourself free coffee? All you need to do is pick up a card in store and register it online, or download the app, when you do so you'll get 100 points free (that's worth £1 already), and you can get points every time you buy something from Costa, earning 5 points per £1 spent.
BUT the trick is, that when someone else buys something from Costa and doesn't use their card the receipt will say 'You could have earned 50 points with your Costa Card' at the bottom. You can take a receipt like this to the cashier and get the points they missed out on loaded onto your card.
People are always leaving receipts around Costa, so if you pick some up every time you go you'll be earning a free drink in no time.
We've worked it out that you'd only need receipts adding up to a £9 spend to get a free Primo Espresso after the 100 bonus points for signing up, receipts for £15 for a free cup of tea, or receipts for £19 for a free Primo Americano.

sorted byOn another note. I really think charity's should do receipt collection at the door then use all the vouchers collected for food banks etc. I'm sure if all of a sudden every receipt was being entered into apg asda would soon stop the deal.
No it isn't. It's an embarrassment.
What it means is they've copied the text verbatim from 'Student Money Saver'.
i hope you have a nice day making good use of the things that you find, things that the everyday folk leave behind
I won't be swayed X)
After finding the receipt I went to the Asda Price Guarantee page and checked it. I was very surprised to find I had 38p as a reward just for picking up a piece of rubbish

The internet is a big place to patrol, and numbers have been cut recently.
Good to know they get round to investigating all cases in the end though. I'll sleep a little sounder tonight.
You need to stand in the "windy corners".

That, and going around McDonalds, nicking the Monopoly tokens off other peoples' coffee cups
