Having a rough day? Why not grab a free treat straight from your smartphone? SoftBank recently launched a campaign that lets its subscribers do exactly that — and it’s called the Super Friday Coupon.
SoftBank Super Friday Coupon
What is the SoftBank Super Friday Coupon?
Super Friday is a campaign run by Japanese mobile carrier SoftBank. It gives subscribers a coupon they can redeem for free treats at a partner store every Friday, and the participating brand rotates each month.
In March, for example, SoftBank users could pick up a free piece of fried chicken at FamilyMart and its sister convenience stores every Friday. In April, the freebie switched to a scoop of ice cream at Baskin-Robbins (known in Japan as “31 Ice Cream”).
If you’re under 25, there’s an extra perk: you get two pieces — or two scoops — every time you redeem the coupon.
Why is the Coupon Free?
SoftBank launched the campaign to celebrate its 10th anniversary and to thank its subscribers. It isn’t a permanent offer, though. The promotion started as a three-month trial in October 2016 and has been extended ever since.
How to Get the Free Coupon
There are two ways to claim the coupon. The first is through an email SoftBank sends you about the campaign — just tap the link inside.
The second way is to grab it manually from the SoftBank website.
1. Open the SoftBank app — it will launch directly in your browser.
2. Tap the menu button.
3. Look for the campaigns section.
4. Tap the campaign banner. Near the bottom of the page you’ll see a coupon button — tap it.
5. The Super Friday coupon button will appear. Tap it.
6. You’re ready to claim your free treat.
When you arrive at the participating store, simply show the coupon. The staff will give you a code to enter in the space provided, and once you do, your free treat is yours. Enjoy!
