Customers of a major UK energy company can get Greggs for FREE
POPULAR energy company customers are excited about a new rewards program that entitles them to a free Greggs every week.
Keen-eyed bargain hunters spotted the deal online and quickly shared it on social media.
The cheeky offer means Octopus customers can quickly get a Greggs, but only if they meet a certain three-point criteria.
Existing customers are already happily sharing their free coffee and sausage rolls, but some only knew about it when they saw other Octopus customers receiving the free food while in one of the bakery’s branches.
In a post to the Facebook group Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK – where Brits regularly share their favorite money-saving finds – the user said they had been enjoying free coffee for a month.
The poster – who shared a screenshot of the deal – wrote: “It’s now been a month since I enjoy a free hot drink from Greggs every week.
“This week there was a hot drink and a sausage roll.”
Other members of the group jumped into the comments to share their thoughts on the deal, while also noting a catch that could mean some won’t be able to take advantage of the arrangement.
One user said: “My husband came into Greggs last week wanting to get a sausage roll when the man next to him pulled out his octopus reward.
“He said, ‘doh, we’re with them, I got one too.’”
A second user said: “Yes, my husband enjoyed the Greggs freebies too.”
And a third said: “My teenagers take turns drinking the weekly hot drink after university, they love it.”
But one punter was quick to remind others what it takes to take advantage of the bakery products – and it could mean many customers will still have to put money on the counter for their Greggs breakfast.
They said: “Yes, I’m with Octopus and you only get that if you’re on a smart meter, which is crazy really.”
Octopus Energy launched its rewards system – Octoplus – in October 2023, and the company made clear exactly how it works.
The site said: “Octoplus is our new rewards program, launching on October 19, 2023.
“Eligible customers can earn Octopoints by participating in savings sessions and keeping their account in top condition.
“You can convert your Octopoints into account credits, or multiply their value by spending them in different ways.
“Right now you can convert Octopoints into account credits, but we have many exciting rewards planned to launch soon. Watch this space.”
To participate in the program, Octopus customers must meet the company’s three-point criteria.
Britons must have their electricity supplied by the company, have a smart electricity meter that sends them half-hourly readings, and pay their bill by direct debit.
