New Starbucks rewards program
« on: February 23, 2016, 01:05:33 PM »
Just wondering what people think of the new starbucks rewards program.  Can anyone figure out how it would actually benefit a current gold member?  I basically just get coffee when I go to starbucks so I enjoyed the free drink every twelfth time.  But now I have to get about 60 coffees before I could get a free drink (125 star). :-\ :-\ :-\  Don't think I'll be able to keep my gold status (300 stars).  I think its a huge mistake on their part. http://morestars.starbucks.com/

very simply, this benefits customers who spend >$5/visit. probably most (non-kosher) customers

You could split by pre-ordering on the app, no big deal.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

As long as I can sit there for a hour with my laptop and a small coffee I'm good.
I'm not who you think I am.

The great thing about a Gold membership is the free refills. Will that change?
I will not respond to PM about the UPS method.

I will not respond to PM about the BBLD method.

Try calling them if it's important to you, their reps can be very helpful IME.

True

Off topic but @mmgfarb, I am assuming that paint is supposed to look gold, but it doesn't.

BTW did you know that gold spray paint is popular for "huffing"? Yes, true.

Shouldn't that be in the avatars thread? what does it look like to you?

Well where were you when I posted this?
I've decided it's time for me to have an avatar but I'm short on ideas, anybody have any suggestions?  :)

Like I said, I haven't yet figured out a way to monetize posting on DDF. I am not aware of all activity on all threads.
