Claim free drinks & win prizes in the Costa Christmas promotions!

Costa have some lovely promotions on for Christmas 2021, with free drinks and hundreds of fabulous prizes on offer. Here I’m sharing the details of the Costa Express ‘scan to win’ prize draw, Costa Christmas van instant win – and the 1 million free coffees promotion.

Costa Christmas gift prize draw

Buy any drink at a participating Costa Express machine or We’re Serving Costa outlet before 22 December 2021, keep your receipt and you’ll be able to enter a fantastic prize draw with hundreds of great prizes including five £1,500 LastMinute gift cards and five prizes of £1,000 cash!

How to enter the Costa Christmas gift promotion

  • Buy any Costa Express product from a Costa Express machine, or from a ‘We’re serving’ outlet* between 1 December and 22 December 2021
  • Scan the QR code on the machine, or go to www.costachristmasgift.co.uk and enter your contact details
  • Upload a photo of your drink receipt to the entry form, and click submit
  • Check your email inbox for a validation email (this may take a while – check your junk folder too)
  • Once you’ve clicked the link to verify your email, you are entered into the prize draw!

*I think it’s safest to buy at a Costa Express machine that is clearly advertising the promotion and displaying the QR code, like the one pictured above at my local Shell garage. T&Cs state that you can buy any Costa beverage served at a “We’re Serving” outlet too, for example a hospital. Look out for advertising featuring the QR codes – it could be signs next to the till! Please contact me or leave a comment if you’ve spotted the advertising in your local shops or venues.

Winners will be drawn at random after the closing date of 22 December 2021, and will be emailed by 19 January 2022 – they will have 7 days to claim their prize. Cash winners will need to submit ID and bank account details so they can receive the money via BACS.

It’s definitely only one entry per person, but point 7 in the T&Cs suggests it might be limited to just one entry per household, although the terms are not clear. I’ve contacted Costa to check this.

This promotion is open to GB residents aged 16 and over.

    Thanks Di,

    I’ve entered once, hopefully can enter again but am not sure if this is permissible. Thanks.

    • Di says:

      Only one entry is allowed for the Costa Christmas Gift ‘scan to win’ – if you try a second time you’ll see a message to let you know it’s just one entry I’m afraid!

    Do these promotions work in the United States as well

    Oops I did an entry from a normal Costa the other day not understanding what ‘We’re serving’ meant
