Costa has no discount at the till for NHS staff, but Blue Light Card members can buy Costa Coffee gift cards with 8% knocked off. The card can be used at the counter in any Costa store or loaded into the Costa Club app, so the saving carries over to every drink paid for with it.
How Costa Club Adds Up
Costa Club members earn one bean for each handcrafted drink bought in store or from a Costa Express machine, plus an extra bean when a reusable cup is used in store. Ten beans bring a free drink, so a regular who brings a cup gets there in half the visits, and paying with a discounted gift card loaded into the app means both savings apply to the same purchase.
Costa does not sell a monthly drinks subscription. The plan offering up to five drinks a day that is often linked to the high street coffee chains is Club Pret, run by Pret a Manger.
Starbucks takes the opposite approach to Costa, with no gift card route but 10% off at the till for Blue Light Card holders.
