Waitrose has reintroduced its free coffee for all loyalty scheme, regardless of whether they've made a purchase or not.

First introduced in 2013, Waitrose’s free coffee loyalty scheme has long been a fan favourite. And now, it’s going back to its roots, offering shoppers a daily, complimentary cup of Joe – even if they don’t purchase an item in store.

Waitrose is reintroducing free coffee for all of its loyalty scheme members who will no longer have to make a purchase to redeem the perk.

Waitrose has reintroduced free coffee for all loyalty scheme members even if they haven't bought anything from the supermarket. The company has told those signed up to its My Waitrose scheme that from 27 January they can get one complimentary hot drink a day with no purchase needed - provided they bring a reusable cup.

Waitrose has heard the calls from their loyal customers and is set to bring back free hot drinks for shoppers - even if they do not buy anything in store. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

To claim your freebie, you must go to a Waitrose-branded self-serve coffee machine - not the Waitrose cafés. To grab your drink just scan your physical My Waitrose card, or the barcode on your digital card, at the coffee machine and select your drink. The deal includes dairy alternatives, such as oat milk.

Currently, the upmarket grocer requires myWaitrose members to buy something before they can claim their free drink.
