NANDO'S is making a major change within just days.
The home of Peri-Peri chicken is shaking up its loyalty scheme, offering customers double points on purchases over £7.
But the offer, running across all UK and Ireland restaurants, is only valid between July 31 and August 6 so you'll need to be quick.
Under the deal, foodies who spend £7 or more will receive two "Chillies" instead of one on their Nando's Rewards card.
Customers who build up enough Chillies can then redeem them for free food.
For example, customers who bag themselves three Chillies can get a free ¼ chicken, three wings, or starter.

Meanwhile, foodies who build up six Chillies can pick up a free ½ chicken, single burger, pitta or wrap.
And those who wait until they've got 10 Chillies open up a free whole chicken, meal with regular sides or a salad or bowl.
That means if you buy two separate meals on two trips worth £7 or more, you will have enough Chillies to nab a free starter, three wings or ¼ chicken.
If you bought three separate meals on three trips worth £7 or more, you will have enough Chillies to claim a free half chicken, single burger or pitta or wrap.

In money terms, without factoring in Nando's latest offer, you would have to spend £28 to get four Chillies and claim a freebie.
But under the chain's latest promotion you will only have to spend £14.
Meanwhile, to build up six Chillies and claim a free ½ chicken, single burger, pitta or wrap, you would normally have to spend £42.
But, under the offer, you will only have to spend £21.
Anyone without a Nando's Rewards card can sign up for one on the chain's website.
You can download your card on to any smartphone including your iPhone or Android.
How else to save money at Nando's
There are some nifty ways you can save money on your next visit to Nando's.
If you're a group that's big enough, try buying a combined meal instead or ordering separately.
Research by moneysavingexpert.com found you can save up to £10 opting for platters rather than individual meals.
For example, if you're ordering two whole chickens and five large sides, it'll cost you £60.05 if you're buying the items separately.
But if you go for the "Family Platter" instead, you'll pay £49.95 – £10.10 less.
Meanwhile, if you're a fan of Perinaise, you could save some cash by making your own.
A pot of the sauce costs £1.15 and is in essence just a mixture of mayonnaise and Peri Peri sauce.
But you can ask for a free portion of mayo at the counter and then stir in your Peri Peri sauce of choice from the condiments bar.
