I've downloaded it, on Google play say 5k + downloads which implies there's not 20k yet. Should I get a popup in the app or similar for the freebie?

Dec4 · 02-10-2020 9:42am

Disaster of an app.

kindalen · 02-10-2020 9:48am

Downloaded app and got nothing?

JTMan · 02-10-2020 9:49am

Shame there is no Applegreen near where I live.

As reported in the freebies thread, Insomnia are giving a free coffee, in the company owned stores, to anyone who downloads their app too.

Any linkage?

Hogzy · 02-10-2020 9:58am

Downloaded it there and went to sign up. Why do they need my address? Really hate when these basic reward programs over ask for your personal information.

Uninstalled it

I got it to work in the end and got my freebies, but the app is absolutely terrible to set up and register (there's a number of issues with it).

They look for an excessive amount of personal information (mandatory fields) which has to be seen as excessive by GDPR.

When large companies launch apps like this with obviously very little testing, it does nothing positive for their reputation.

Nothing showing on my app.

The freebies are for existing customers downloading the new app. Had you registered before?

I was previously registered with their old rewards card and once i finally got this new app set up the freebies appeared automatically.

what the hell! · 02-10-2020 11:46am

I can't see where the Coke is? I have my free coffee and car wash.

Likewise, no sign of the 4pk of coke here either.

okidoki987 · 02-10-2020 12:44pm

Tried signing up but gave up and uninstalled when they wanted every box filled out on the form and I couldn't leave them blank.
I wouldn't be putting my name, address, dob and email address on any online form nowadays.
There's no reason why they need details like your address on it.

Nor here and it was saying 500+ downloads when I downloaded it

seagull · 02-10-2020 2:04pm

Took me forever to get in yesterday. Today, it won't allow me in. Haven't seen anything in it for free car wash and coffee.

beardo81 · 02-10-2020 4:19pm

Was previously registered. Had to enter a new password after receiving security code by email. Free coffee and car wash appeared straight away.
Took 90 seconds from clicking download on the app in Playstore I reckon.

Thanks op

R11 · 02-10-2020 8:39pm

Registered, no sign of any rewards...

bailey99 · 02-10-2020 11:30pm

Downloaded no sign of free car wash or coffee. And no coke 4 pack either. Shambles of a promotion when it doesn't work. Put me right off applegreen going forward.

SweetCaliber · 02-10-2020 11:43pm

Cant even log in or reset my password, and why the need for literally all of my personal information, was expecting them to ask for my PPS number.

garrettod · 03-10-2020 2:14am

Problems downloading the app and logging in, the day the email arrived.

Finally got installed and logged in, had to update some of my details, but it also had some info.

Free carwash and coffee were visible, likewise some 50 cent offers on another tab. No sign of my free cokes, despite Google Play indicating that there were sub 1,000 downloads when I downloaded the app.

Today, I can't log in again.

The app is a complete disaster.

Roberto_gas · 03-10-2020 4:53am

Cant register on iphone..too many errors

peckerhead · 03-10-2020 10:51am

Anyone registered for this scheme would be doing Applegreen a favour by posting them a link to this thread, tbh.

03-10-2020 11:56am

I was with them on an old email address which i can't access now. So I used new address but didn't get the coffee and car wash. Or coke.
Not to mention the pain in the ass of a 9 character pw with upper case, lower case, numbers, letters, special characters and a pint of blood sweat n tears!

A few emails of complaint, wouldn't do any harm either...

PR disaster!!!

Deshawn · 03-10-2020 4:13pm

Absolutely horrendous coffee in Apple green shops. Worst on the road

Roberto_gas · 03-10-2020 8:40pm

Cannot see the free wash or coffee anywhere ?

Is that based on a recent tasting, just wondering if there's any chance that they might have changed it recently?

If it's still crap, have you emailed them and told them how bad it is? It's pointless telling the staff on duty, they no influence and few if them give a sh1t.

They turned the temperature down to 'warm' in the machines in Enfield. It now has to be gulped the second you get back to your car or else.it is literally just tepid. Very frustrating for a coffee.that costs 3.50 from a vending.machine

FanadMan · 04-10-2020 5:09pm

I contacted them on Fri after installing the app the day before. Contacted them as I couldn't log in on previous account and got no response to forgot password. Got an automated reply that someone would contact me.

Got a proper email from them yesterday saying that they are " currently experiencing some technical difficulties"!!!

Was told to take the email to my local applegreen to receive a free coffee.......what a win for me lol

I don't know if it was just pure luck or someone from Applegreen is following this thread but about 10 minutes after I made my last post I had a new email from them and it was all sorted. Got my free coffee and carwash but no sign of the Club orange.

Hallaz · 04-10-2020 9:14pm

Do you get a free car wash or a stamp to go towards a free car wash ie 1 stamp given but 5 needed for a car wash?

Same for coffee/tea (i got 1 stamp out of 10 but need 9 more)

I got it with all stamps filled so free coffee/tea and car wash.

bailey99 · 04-10-2020 10:12pm

I got one free on the card but need another 9 cofees to get a free one and four car washes to get a free one.

This has actually turned me off applegreen. Going to circle k in future.

Another here who downloaded the app but didnt get a free coffee or car wash when I logged in, what a shambles of an app

I don't tell anyone. I made the mistake of buying it a couple of times. I'm not there to do quality control for a giant company.

I can't seem to log into or reset my username?

GBX · 05-10-2020 9:27am

This is turning into a right sh1t show for Apple Green. Thankfully I only posted the link and am not tasked with sorting their app!

Roberto_gas · 05-10-2020 12:36pm

I think you get free coffee and car wash only if you are a registered customer who start using the app. The main post of the deal needs to be updated to reflect this so others dont fall in the trap and register un-necessarily !

Mods can you do the needful ?

exactly.

waste of time.

and the app asks for WAY too much info and has stupid issues with password creation etc etc.

Trigger Happy · 05-10-2020 3:23pm

After all this faffing around I feel like I deserve 2 car washes and 2 coffees.
The app is too much hassle. Uninstalled.

I also contacted them about the issues I was having, and received the same email. Except I encountered 2 separate problems, so have 2 emails with a free coffee.

Roberto_gas · 05-10-2020 9:12pm

This was a monthly reward usually given when the freebie promo wasn't on.
