Not all Paypoint stores are involved, it is only those which Coca Cola have listed as having an official Coca-Cola Fridge instore. So this does narrow it down a little bit, however it is a good deal if your local newsagent is involved.

Participating stores are also likely to have adverts around the fridge telling you of the free drinks

Put simply, you go to the store and select your drink and take it to the counter. You need to text a special number your date of birth and you will be texted back immediately a code. The shop assistant should put this code into the Paypoint machine and when confirmed, you can take away your free drink. Texts cost 10p each so while its strictly not free, its 10p per bottle. Assuming your shop charges £1 per bottle, that is £5 worth of free drinks for only 50p – something not to be sniffed at in times of hardship.

Please though, don’t go harassing your local Paypoint for freebies. This offer is only available at certain stores around the country (those with Paypoint and Coke fridges) and the retailer will know when they are particpating as the Coca-cola rep will visit them. Also it is worth noting the offer is one drink per day over the course of the next month – up to 5 drinks per sim card – so if you are a person with multiple sims/phones, then gouge the offer as much as you can. Oh and the drinks on offer are Dr Pepper, Dr Pepper Zero, Sprite, Sprite Zero plus all of the Fanta flavours range
