Hello everyone! Healthy Asian-influenced chain Itsu recently launched a new loyalty scheme in the form the ability to collect an “Itsu Butterfly” with making a purchase. Today we’re investigating further with a review of the Itsu Butterfly loyalty scheme and asking our classic question – is it worth it?
What is the Itsu Butterfly Loyalty scheme?
The Itsu Butterfly loyalty scheme is a classic stamp collect loyalty scheme using the Itsu app.
When making a purchase at a till or one of the electronic kiosks, scan your loyalty barcode and you’ll automatically earn an Itsu butterfly when spending £5 on any item.
Once you’ve earned seven Itsu butterflies, you can cash this in for a reward.
What can I get with the Itsu Butterfly Loyalty Scheme?
Once you’ve got your seven Itsu butterflies, the choice of what you can pick as a loyalty benefit is pretty generous.
You can choose to receive one of the following:
- An “eat beautiful” sushi or salad box
- Any rice or noodle bowl
- A gyoza pack
- A bao pack
- A snack
- A drink
Basically this translates as most items on the Itsu menu except the sharing platters…
What is the best way to use Itsu Butterfly Loyalty?
If you’ve earned a reward, then going with a sushi box, a salad or a rice pot are the best option in terms of getting value. At the higher end these cost up to £10, with most in the £7-9 mark, clearly better value than a drink.

What is the earnings rate from Itsu Butterfly Loyalty?
Absolutely – the items you can cash in your reward for are relatively high value ones and fairly unrestricted in nature, which is quite rare for a loyalty scheme.
How do I sign up to Itsu Butterfly Loyalty?
If you enter code 66950 when signing up you’ll get a free butterfly!
Overall Review of Itsu Butterfly Loyalty
Absolutely worth it, even if you only visit Itsu on a semi-regular basis.
The items you can cash in your reward for are relatively high value ones and fairly unrestricted in nature, which is quite rare for a loyalty scheme. At only 7 visits to earn a reward, the Itsu Butterfly loyalty is also more generous than a lot of peers in how frequently you get rewards.
Finally, the app and loyalty scheme are easy to use and well designed visually – thought has clearly gone into it.
