Anger brews over Costa Coffee's ‘free drink for good review' offer
A Costa branch has been branded 'shameless' after promising customers a free coffee in exchange for a good review. The outlet in Potters Bar, Herts, had a sign on the counter that promised customers 'any medium-sized drink for free' if they rated the store a nine or 10 out of 10 on an emailed feedback form. Mark Shaw, who posted a photo of the sign on X, wrote: 'Costa Coffee, love to hear your thoughts on this. Surely it makes a total mockery of your reviews?' The official account of the nation's biggest coffee chain replied: 'Ooh that's quite cheeky, drop us a DM so we can chase this up Mark?' Martyn James, a consumer rights expert, said that customer reviews 'only work if they are given freely, without incentive or manipulation'. He added: 'Given that review sites are now covered by law, this frankly outrageous attempt to game the system is as shameless as it is forbidden. As customers, we all need to question reviews until the new rules are fully enforced. It is unclear whether the review was posted to be publicly on a review site, or sent internally to Costa Coffee, to be eligible for the free drink. The incident comes just months after new rules came into force under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024, making it unlawful to post fake reviews, or to conceal incentives given in exchange for reviews. Mr Shaw said: 'How can you trust reviews when they've bribed someone? I've no problem with them encouraging you. If your service is good you don't need to bribe anyone to do it. 'No harm in telling me and it helps the branch You don't have to give me a free cup of coffee, but maybe that's the way the world works now.' Dr Jennifer Obaseki, a solicitor specialising in consumer law, said: 'Making the coffee conditional on writing a review can be legally awkward. While no one is likely to sue for a 'lost coffee opportunity', consumer regulators take a dim view of promotions that pressure customers into leaving positive feedback.' Fines for breaching rule go up to £300,000 Under the Act, any incentive, from cash to free products, must be clearly disclosed to other customers. Failure to do this can result in large fines, up to £300,000 or 10 per cent of the company's global turnover, whichever is higher. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) guidance warns that concealed incentives can mislead shoppers, and risks eroding public trust in online rating. A Costa Coffee spokesman said: 'We are aware of a sign that was displayed in one of our franchise stores, which was put up without approval and does not reflect company policy. 'As soon as we became aware of the sign, we asked the store to remove it, which they have done.'

Costa Coffee closes another store after 16 shut in just one year
Costa Coffee on Marlborough High Street, Wiltshire, has closed after the majority of its "talented team members" were relocated to other branches. This follows a long list of Costa closures this year Another Costa Coffee outlet has shut up shop, adding to a growing list of over a dozen branches that have closed in the past year. The local community expressed their sadness as the Costa on Marlborough High Street in Wiltshire ceased trading last month. Local sources report that the premises have been cleared out inside and out, with all traces of Costa branding removed. No official explanation has been provided for the closure of the popular Marlborough High Street coffee shop. A Costa spokesperson confirmed the store stopped serving customers on July 17, 2025. This comes after UK households issued warning if they have Nescafé coffee in kitchen. The spokesperson informed the Gazette and Herald: "The majority of our talented team members have relocated to Costa Coffee stores in surrounding areas". Residents mourned the loss of their local café, with one regular branding it a "terrible loss" for Marlborough and another marking it as "such a shame", calling the shop "a great coffee spot," reports the Express. The challenges facing Britain's high streets are well-known, with retailers grappling with competition from online shopping, steep rental prices, the rise of wage costs and subdued consumer spending. Alarmingly, recent British Retail Consortium-Sensormatic figures indicate that one in seven UK shops is now vacant. The data also revealed that the anticipated summer retail boost has not occurred for the second year running, with overall UK footfall in July down by 0.4 percent compared to the previous year, and visits to high streets decreasing by 1.7 percent. Costa Coffee, which is the largest coffee chain in the UK, was snapped up by Coca-Cola in a £3.9 billion deal in 2019. The brand boasts over 2,700 outlets in the UK and Ireland, along with international locations. However, recent years have seen a reported slump in sales, resulting in the closure of several branches. This could also come down to the two-year boycott against attacks in Gaza, which saw a decrease in consumerism for brands like McDonalds, Starbucks and Zara. The Standard has listed the following Costa Coffee shops that have closed since September 2024: Costa Coffee closures Shell Highworth Service Station Stockton High Street Lyndhurst, New Forest Bridlington, Yorkshire Packhorse Road, Buckinghamshire King Street, Maidstone, Kent Whitstable High Street, Kent Chiswick High Road, London Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh Rottingdean, Brighton and Cove Erdington High Street, Birmingham Cheltenham House of Fraser Stockton Heath, Warrington High Street West, Uppingham Fleet Walk, Burnley Alexandra Retail Park, Tunstall Marlborough High Street, Wiltshire
