The loyalty program will give out freebies if you meet certain criteria and below we show exactly how you can get your hands on them.
For others, you need to contact the nearest branch to take advantage of the offers.
Currently, all 900 KFC UK stores are open for takeout and drive through. Guests cannot sit to have their meals due to coronavirus lockdown restrictions.
However, customers will be able to sit outside of restaurants again from April 12 and inside restaurants from May 17 if rules are relaxed as long as coronavirus cases remain under control.
Until then, here are some of the top tips on how to get cash off the bill and free food from KFC.
1. Take a blank page
Roast chicken fans can get a free page by logging into the KFC app.
The KFC Colonel’s Club Rewards Program allows you to earn virtual stamps when you order from the menu that gives you cash for food and drink.
New customers are automatically rewarded for joining the Colonel’s Club with three stamps, which they can use to purchase one of the following sites:
- Two hot wings
- Popcorn chicken small
- Regular drink
- Sundae
- Regular page
- Regular fries
- Regular hot drink
The fast food chain advises diners to pick up two spare hot wings with the stamps, usually worth 99 pence.
But you can get even more bang for your buck by swapping the stamps for a small snack pot of popcorn chicken that costs £ 1.99.
2. Free mini fillet burger
App users can collect a stamp if they spend 3 euros on KFC, or two if they spend more than 15 euros.
When you earn seven stamps, you can use them to wrap up up to £ 1.99 worth of free groceries, including a mini filet burger.
You can choose from one of the following menu items:
- Snack box
- Popcorn chicken regularly
- Mini fillet burger
- Streetwise wrap
- Krushem’s cream ball
- Four hot wings
- Big side
Normally a mini fillet burger would set you back around £ 1.49, but the most expensive giveaway you can get is a £ 1.99 snack box.
3. £ 5 off your order
Eleven of your Colonel Club stamps bring you € 5 off your next order – without any conditions.
But you need to spend at least £ 33 first before you can collect that number of stamps.
All you have to do is show your stamps to the cashier at a branch and you can purchase £ 5 worth of free groceries.
4. Free snack box
Students can grab a free original recipe snack box when they spend £ 3 or more on a transaction.
Usually the snack boxes cost £ 1.99 so taking advantage of the offer can save you a sweet lunchtime.

You’ll need to sign in to Student Beans – an online hub for offers for students – and link your ID to your KFC app account.
To do this, go to the My Account section in the app and enter your Student Beans ID. It may take up to 24 hours for your account to be verified.
You will then receive a barcode in the app which you have to show at the checkout when you request your giveaway.
Unfortunately, you cannot combine it with other offers.
This saves you money when you take it with you
TAKEAWAYS taste great, but they can hit you hard in your wallet. Here are some tips on how to save on your delivery:
Cashback websites– TopCashback and Quidco pay you to order your takeaway food. They are paid by retailers for every click that comes from the cashback website to their website. How to get cashback for orders placed through them.
Discount codes – Check websites like VoucherCodes for discount codes that can be used to get money off your order.
Buy it in stores – Okay, it might not taste exactly the same, but you will save the most money by picking up your favorite dish at your local supermarket.
Student discounts – If you are in full-time education or are a member of the National Students Union, you may receive a discount of up to 15 percent on the bill. It is always worth asking before placing your order.
5. Get 80 pieces of popcorn chicken for £ 6
KFC has brought back its massive 80-piece popcorn chicken bucket, which costs just £ 5.99.

The 80 Piece Popcorn Chicken Buckets are back at KFC for a limited time
The huge buckets of popcorn chicken are usually not available at the fast food chain. So you should take advantage of the huge offer while you can.
The chain sells smaller pots of popcorn chicken, although we don’t know exactly how many pieces are available in each size.
A big prize will cost around £ 4.99 depending on the industry, which means you can upgrade to a mammoth-sized serving for an additional £ 1.
Plus the price of £ 5.99 for the 80 piece chicken is roughly 8 pence per bite.
Offer applies to all orders placed either in-store, drive-through, or on the take-away and drive-through app or website.
The offer ends on May 3rd as part of a month-long “Big Deals” event.
6. Keep the receipt and receive a 15% discount
There is a link to a quick customer experience survey on a KFC receipt, and customers can get up to 15% off their next order by completing it.
Make sure to hold on to the receipt until the survey is complete, as you will need to enter the survey code and timestamp in order to participate.
You don’t necessarily have to purchase a meal to get a receipt, however – receipts from orders from friends and family are fine, too.
You can even use receipts that are on tables in restaurants or on the floor outside – this is called wombling.
The only catch is that you have to claim your discount within 14 days of completing the survey.
7. Chicken on Tuesdays
During certain times of the year, KFC offers discounted meals on Chicken Tuesday.
While it’s not currently running, we’ve previously seen deals like nine pieces of chicken for just £ 5.99, down from the typical £ 15.57.
Last year, the discount even ran in June and January of the previous year.
KFC says the deal will be back on the menu later this year and advises fans to keep an eye on the special website.
In a note on the website, the chain said, “We’re not currently running the nation’s most popular Chicken Tuesday deal, but it will be back on the menu later this year, so keep your eyes peeled not to miss out. ..
“Chicken Tuesday won’t be gone long.”
8. Keep an eye on the app
Customers should keep an eye on the Deals section in the app for the latest deals and discounts.
Some of the previous offers that customers have taken advantage of include 10 mini fillets for £ 5 and 10 pieces of Original Recipe Chicken for £ 10, usually £ 19.90.
