I thought that at first but clicked it's not 5 cups a day, it's as few or as many as you want, you just have to order the "credits" (12 x £45) worth of capsules in the 3 years. I'll just put my £45 a month in, order as usual and at the end of the 12 months just use up the credit. The capsules keep for ever so they'll just get used up as usual.
Unless I've got things wrong. It has been known.

A good deal to get a machine & a frother...
Our eldest sprogg has a Nespresso & for her it works - zero messing about
Nespresso also stand over thier capsules - some she bought hadn't got vanilla flavour
They sent her a huge amount of replacements - focBREXIT - done properly.

No, you're correct credit lasts 2 years beyond the end of the subscription (minimum agreement period 12 months - so up to 3 years). I just worked the £540 divided by 31p per pod over a year.There are two rules for success,

I've tried the likes of Carte Noir as an alternative but found I was using two to get a decent strength. So abandoned them.
Aha, a man after my own heart. Can't abide the dishwater type of coffee so many people drink.
I worked in Missouri for a while about 20 years ago in an engineering company. I used to get moaned at constantly when I emptied out the 'coffee' they had made and brewed some fresh at the proper strength. Probably about 4 or 5 times stronger than they were used to.There are two rules for success,

Like the pre-filled coffee filter things you get in Best Westerns in the the USofA. Truely horrid stuff.
How I do coffee when out on jollies and no Nespresso machine. At it's best when a fresh pack, and the lovely smell of fresh coffee fills the car for days.

Now I wonder how easy/hard it would be to get the soon to be old Nespresso machine to work in the car.

That's a pretty good offer
We had a Neff built in coffee machine at last house using Lavazza beans but bought a Nespresso in 2014 for the caravan - we've moved now and the vans gone so we use it daily at home and it's still going strong - we have a carry bag for when we visit family and it always goes down a treat - might buy another on this deal as we are spending £300 pa on the coffee anyway so might as well have a new machine 8)
Swmbo likes espresso and I prefer Americano so keeps us both happy and the taste is the best we've found since the Neff/Lavazza - certainly better than the Phillips Senseo we tried Wanted a Series 2 LR since childhood but previously owned MY16 Disco Sport HSE TD4 Auto, MY13 RR Sport Black Edition TDV6 Auto, MY10 RR Sport HSE TDV6 Auto, 2007 Freelander 1 Freestyle TD4 Soft Top, 2009 Freelander 2 GS TD4 Auto, 2007 Freelander 2 GS TD4, 2004 Disco 2 Metropolis Auto, 2002 Disco 2 GS, 2000 Freelander 1 SE TD4 SW
Still hoping for a S2 one day!

I've always thought that Nespresso was just Espresso ?
Can it do cappuccino as well ?

Big machine in the offer can, well according to it's bulb. I tend to do strong but milky coffee (big mug, 3/4" of FF milk & one long espresso shot), not really messed around with my set up doing fancy coffees. Will try out all that with the new machine.
