Is that restore or a centra/londis kinda shop?

Restore, but only at the ones where there's a machine behind the deli counter and a deli assistant makes it. Much nicer than the machine where you make it yourself.

In my experience using the app, I have taken calls and made calls through Bluetooth (steering wheel controls so no need to touch the phone) and still earned points.

It feels a bit like the bonus points for logging multiple journeys without interacting with the phone is a scam because every time I log a 3rd or 4rth journey in a row it says I interacted with the phone when I have not! (I keep my phone in a compartment in centre console where u can't even see it!).
Its possible I have lost signal and therefore not connected to internet so can't log.

I don't log evert journey (would get free coffee every day if I did, I am sales Rep driving over 6000k per month) as it drains battery big time.

Battery drain is an issue, I wonder do they plan to update it to keep the screen off

I'm similar to you , I'm a expressway driver for bus Eireann on the likes of Dublin to cork, Galway , Donegal etc so earn big points everyday

I'd be getting free hot drink every day - every second day

If you don't 'finish journey' within a few seconds of picking up the phone it thinks you have interacted with it.

I'm finding it hard to get this app to work. The problem seems to be that even though I make sure my mobile data is connected before I begin a journey, it is disconnected at the end. I think the app is interfering with the connection. It works sometimes. Very hit and miss. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Has this app stopped working for others?

Not clocking up points and vouchers not working...

It works fine for me but it can be a bit glitchy.

Interesting. Are you sure it's adding on points ?

It's stopped working for me. And Toyota have refused to answer mails on it since new year.

Yes I keep an eye on how many points I have. Just enough for 2 coffees at the moment. 😊

No QR codes for coffee on the app for almost a month now.
They are "aware" but seem to not care about fixing it :rolleyes:.

Terrible really as it was lauded by all three parties at launch, the RSA, Toyota & CircleK, iirc.

Call them, complain - 01 2028888. Maybe they'll have an update now?

Why call Circle K, would it not be better to contact Toyota who actually run the promotion?

Talking(using hands free) and driving is never an issue with me but I have no problem telling the other person to shut up for a while as I am doing something risky or need to concentrate.

Yep, you're right. It's Toyota's responsibility.
I don't think they have responded to anyone though.
