Free coffee? What free coffee?

Pret A Manger cracks down on 'free' coffee loophole

Pret A Manger is changing the way its £30 subscription works in what appears to be a crackdown on people sharing benefits with their friends.

The Club Pret subscription gets people five drinks a day plus 20% off food. But it seems - and we definitely wouldn't know anything about this - some people who don't want all five drinks every day have been sharing their QR codes with friends, as they can be added to Apple Pay and Google Wallet. This is against the terms and conditions and Pret now seems to be closing the loophole. Subscribers will now have to log in through its app every time they claim the offer. The new rules kick in from 18 March. A Pret spokesperson said: "We're updating how Club Pret subscribers access their QR codes as we continue to invest in our digital offer for customers. Live QR codes will be reissued to all subscribers."

These are our recommended products- doesn't include Pret anymore ;)
