Maximizing Your Pret Subscription: Understanding the 'Time Between Drinks'
If you're a Pret A Manger fanatic like many of us, you've likely heard about their subscription service, Pret Perks. One of the perks of this subscription is the 'time between drinks' feature, which can be a bit confusing at first. Let's dive into what it is, how it works, and how you can make the most of it.
What is the 'Time Between Drinks'?
The 'time between drinks' is a feature of Pret Perks that allows you to earn free drinks faster. It's essentially a cooldown period between purchasing a drink and being able to earn another one for free. Understanding this concept is key to maximizing your Pret subscription.
How Does the 'Time Between Drinks' Work?
The 'time between drinks' resets every 24 hours from the time you first earned a free drink. Here's a simple breakdown:
- You earn a free drink after purchasing five drinks.
- After redeeming your free drink, you start a 24-hour 'time between drinks' period.
- During this period, you can still purchase drinks and earn points towards your next free drink, but you won't be able to redeem another free drink until the 24 hours are up.
Tips to Make the Most of Your 'Time Between Drinks'
Plan Your Drink Purchases
If you're a regular Pret customer, plan your drink purchases around the 'time between drinks' feature. For example, if you know you're due for a free drink in two days, you might want to hold off on buying drinks until then to maximize your points.
Use the Pret App
The Pret app is a game-changer for Pret Perks subscribers. It tracks your points, tells you when you're due for a free drink, and even sends you reminders when it's time to redeem. Make sure to download it if you haven't already.
Invite Friends
Pret Perks also offers a referral program. If you refer a friend who signs up for the subscription, you'll both get a free drink. This is a great way to extend your 'time between drinks' and earn more free drinks.
