Greggs shoppers have just hours left to nab DOUBLE stamps before loyalty scheme perk is pulled
GREGGS fans have only hours left to take advantage of double stamps before the loyalty scheme perk is pulled.
The sausage roll specialist launched Happier Hours on July 8 this year, which gave their app users double stamps for all purchases made after 5pm.

But the sad news is that the offer is closing today, August 10, so you’ll need to get your skates on to take advantage.
You can cash your stamps in against any menu item so items you could claim include a sausage roll, steak bake, yum yum, bacon roll, doughnut, éclair, cookie, ham and cheese toastie or potato wedges.
Those signed up through the Greggs app also receive a free drink when they sign up as well as a free sweet treat on their birthday.
Greggs has more than 1,200 shops open until 7pm and later, and you can find the closest to you via its website.
You can download the app via the Apple App Store or Google Play.
