Because I’m a part of Starbucks “Rewards” I can get free things like syrups or wifi at good ol’ SBUX.
What was once an attempt to retain their customers who like to buy overpriced and fattening drinks, is now something of desperation.
For $25 you can upgrade to Starbucks GOLD.
In early November, you’ll have the opportunity to join Starbucks Gold and take advantage of significant everyday value and exclusive member benefits. The annual membership fee is $25 and it entitles you to -
10% off most purchases in participating U.S. Starbucks stores*
A free drink when you purchase your Starbucks Gold Card in a Starbucks store
The option to pay for purchases any way you like
A special Gold Card that identifies you as a member of this groupAnd if you register your Gold Card, you’ll unlock additional benefits. That’s when the top-shelf treatment really begins. This is a program for people who really love their Starbucks.
If you’re enjoying Starbucks Card Rewards benefits, such as free syrups, milk options and refills on drip coffee, then we hope you continue to do so. But if you’re looking for daily savings on everything from espresso beverages to espresso machines, you should check out Starbucks Gold. (Please note that Starbucks Card Rewards discounts cannot be combined with Starbucks Gold discounts.)
We’re letting you know about Starbucks Gold early, so don’t be surprised if your barista doesn’t know about it yet. You’ll be able to find out more when you visit your neighborhood store next month.
Oops. I’m going to let my barista friends AND the rest of the internets know. Pretty soon I’ll get info about Starbucks TITIANUM. In that program I can get a barista serve me drinks with free soy milk and directly to my house in a bikini. The cost will be only $9000 a year in unmarked bills!
I’ll stick to making my own coffee at home. I’ll only have starbucks once in a while, thank you very much!
