Octopus Energy customers can now get a free Caffe Nero drink every week
Octopus Energy customers can now enjoy a free weekly beverage courtesy of a new partnership with luxury coffee chain Caffe Nero.
Starting today, customers can claim a complimentary hot or cold drink at any Caffe Nero outlet in the UK through Octopus Energy’s rewards scheme ‘Octoplus’.
Caffe Nero is the latest brand to join ‘Octoplus’, following recent additions such as ODEON, the National Trust and the National Trust for Scotland.
In addition to drinks at Caffe Nero, ‘Octoplus’ members can redeem their points for cinema tickets, National Trust day passes and Octopus Energy merchandise.
The collaboration comes as Caffe Nero agrees a strategic partnership with Octopus Energy Group, aiming to foster sustainable and positive environmental change for customers and employees.
As part of this alliance, plans are underway to switch the energy supply of Caffe Nero’s 620 UK stores to Octopus Energy and trial its innovative ‘Max Power’ energy tariff at selected outlets.
This would make the coffee house Octopus’ largest business customer in the UK.
Employees of both Octopus Energy and Caffe Nero will also reap benefits. Octopus staff will soon be able to savour a variety of Caffe Nero treats at their offices and in stores nationwide, while Caffe Nero staff will enjoy a range of green energy benefits.
Over 1.5 million Octopus Energy customers are reaping the benefits of the company’s acclaimed rewards programme, earning ‘Octopoints’ for maintaining a healthy energy account or cutting down consumption during the famed ‘Saving Sessions’.
Rebecca Dibb-Simkin, Octopus Energy’s Chief Product Officer, said: “We’re thrilled to welcome Caffe Nero to the ‘Octoplus’ family and to give our customers even more chances to save money. With food, drinks and cinema tickets all now available through ‘Octoplus’, savvy customers can have an entire day out for free just by earning ‘Octopoints’. Selfishly – I’m also looking forward to Caffe Nero treats in every Octopus office!”
Caffe Nero UK CEO Will Stratton-Morris said: “We are incredibly excited to pioneer this industry first collaboration, introducing a variety of mutually beneficial initiatives to our stores, valued customers and employees. We’re particularly excited to launch this journey with the introduction of complimentary drinks, made possible through our partnership in the Octoplus rewards scheme. We eagerly anticipate the development and growth of this partnership over the next 12 to 18 months.”
To join ‘Octoplus’, customers must be supplied electricity by Octopus Energy, possess a functioning electric smart meter that sends half-hourly readings, and pay via Direct Debit. The scheme is open to business customers and those with smart prepayment meters as well.
