In this article, I review the Costa App & provide a promo code, plus detail on what the App can do, how you sign up for the Costa App, What is good about the Costa App, What is bad about the Costa App,

What does the Costa App do?
The Costa Club loyalty scheme was relaunched as an App in the Autumn of 2021, giving customers a simpler and more rewarding way to earn coffee Beans when buying their favourite cup of Costa coffee. You will earn a bean for every hot or cold crafted drink they buy – collect eight Beans and get your next barista-made drink for free!

How do I find my costa coffee club number on the app?
On the main App menu, just click “Shop” and your customer number will pop up below a barcode.
What is good about the Costa App?
The Costa App is easy to use and it is a well-designed App with the ability to use Apple Wallet in the palm of your hand. It is also eco-friendly (Costa rewards you for bringing your own cup). The free cake for your birthday is generous and there are multiple Costa Express machines and coffee shops around the UK (being the most popular coffee chain). On top of regular deals and discount codes (Costa reward codes), the barista-made drinks are also of high quality. See my Caffe Nero App review here.
What is bad about the Costa App?
In the short term, it is not as generous as the likes of Café Nero, which gives you a free drink when you make your first purchase. In terms of functionality, it does take a few times to understand how the App works, it is not as intuitive as other loyalty apps. I.e. Press shop to collect coffee beans and settings > refer a friend to refer a friend for the Costa App.
Overall Costa App Review
The Costa App is innovative and after a few goes, easy to use. It could offer a free drink once you download it and buy your first drink, but it has a good loyalty scheme for regular users (even for those who only use the Costa machines). I would recommend this App for regular Costa customers with a 7.5/10 rating. Download it here and use the latest Costa discount code E3WY and we both receive 5 free beans (halfway to a free barista-made drink).
