A popular loyalty scheme at a UK café is ending soon, with customers having just weeks to redeem it for the final time.
Wild Bean Café is BP's own brand of coffee shop, often found in filling stations at motorway services alongside BP Connect or M&S Simply Food.
Regular customers will be aware that it runs a coffee loyalty card, with the offer of 'buy seven hot drinks and get the eighth free'.
BP Wild Bean Café coffee loyalty scheme to end in May
The loyalty scheme allowed customers to receive a stamp with all large and regular hot and iced drinks.
Once seven stamps had been collected, they could then claim a free large hot drink or an iced drink, its website explains.
However, the scheme is due to end, with signs having been spotted by Newsquest inside BP's Wild Bean Café.
It reads: "Please be aware that the 'But 7 hot drinks get the 8th free' loyalty promotion will end on March 31, 2026.
"From April 1, we will no longer issue new loyalty cards or add stamps to existing cards.
"If you already have a completed loyalty card, you may redeem it until May 1, 2026.
"After this date, completed cards will no longer be accepted.
"Explore even more delicious offers waiting for you at Wild Bean Café."
Wild Bean Café started more than 20 years ago with more than 320 cafés now open across the UK, with some open 24/7.
BP has been contacted by Newsquest for comment.
Other UK loyalty scheme changes that have hit shoppers
The change to BP's coffee loyalty scheme is not the only one to happen in recent weeks.
Millions of members of the Boots Advantage Card will be affected by new changes set to roll out from May 2026.
Boots said in an email sent to shoppers: “From May 2026, the current 10% Boots own brand discount for Advantage Card holders will be replaced…”
The 10% discount on Boots' own-brand products will be phased out, with the retailer saying it will introduce a different kind of saving.
This means shoppers may still save money, but not in the same straightforward way as before.
Despite the changes, Boots has confirmed that core rewards will continue.
The email reassured members: “Advantage Card holders will continue to collect 3 points for every £1 spent.”
Sainsbury’s has also recently revealed a new way Nectar shoppers can spend points.
The popular shopping loyalty scheme has now partnered with Uber, meaning members can now spend their points with Uber Eats too.
Members can choose how many points to use with Uber through the Nectar app, from 500 to 4,000 at a time.
This is equivalent to between £2.50 and £20, which can be spent on the likes of a ride home or train journey for a day out, as well as a takeaway at the weekend with friends and family.
