Starbucks Rewards changing October 16

Slick Deal = Try a different coffee shop instead of overprice Starbucks! If you have any taste buds you'll see that Starbucks coffee tastes nasty..

They're also getting rid of the free coffee with a pound of coffee. No big deal, just one less star per week for me (and one less pound of coffee starbucks will sell...).

Dont like the fact that they put an expiration date on the reward drinks now. Used to be no expiration.
-------Um, there has always been an expiration on the free drink postcards. Here, I just did a quick Google and found this: A postcard with an expiration date of 2010 [blogspot.com]

From the FAQ: Q: Will I still get to choose when I get my free drink or food reward? I like to choose something special and I don’t want my free reward to automatically deduct when I’m not expecting it to.
Answer: Yes. You are in control of your rewards! Even though your free reward is loaded onto your Card, you have to tell your barista when you want to use it. It does not deduct automatically on your next visit.


$0.50 refills only count for stars until you reach the Green level. Dos not work if you are already at gold level.
