Nando's is offering double points on its loyalty programme so people can get free food faster, but you'll have to be quick as this deal is in place for one week only.

The restaurant chain has a Nando's Rewards program where people can earn Chillies (their version of points).

One Chilli is earnt when putting in an order earnt £7 or more, and during the week of Monday, July 31 to Sunday, August 6 these will be doubled.

Discussing the deal Nando's said: "If you’re not an existing Nando’s Rewards customer don’t worry, you can still get in on the Double Chillies action this week.

"New customers bag a bonus Chilli when they sign up, which means you only need to place one more order with us during the promotion period to bank your first Green Reward!"
