I've been getting mixed reactions to my requests to use my travel mug instead of one of their paper cups on visits to Starbucks since they resumed allowing their use during the pandemic. Some workers refused to fill them even if clean and instead offered to give me the 10 cent discount but the coffee in a paper cup that I could then pour into my mug. Some made a face but agreed to do it but only if I put the mug in one of their large ceramic mugs so they wouldn't have to touch it, some were ok but insisted on rinsing my mug, with one even telling me that he'd have to first give my mug a thorough wash in the back where they wash everything, and it took them 5 minutes which I thought was weird and I would have agreed to if I knew it would take that long, and some just take the mug, fill it and hand it back to me.

You also usually have to remind them to give you the 10 cent discount, and they often don't know how to do it or say they did it but didn't. There is no consistent policy across stores or workers, and many don't know that you can use your own mug or that it gets you a 10 cent discount. Either Starbucks sucks at training or its workers just don't give a damn (which is part of why I rarely tip on drip coffee). Either way, I don't expect this to change because of this new policy and offer.

Workers are still going to have to hit the reusable mug button to get you the discount and points, and you're usually going to have to remind them to do it, which makes you look cheap and petty and forces the people on line to wait longer and roll their eyes in annoyance. Sounds more like a marketing thing than a way to actually get people to use their own mugs and invitation for yet more passive-aggressive underpaid and overworked worker behavior. I hope I'm wrong but only time will tell. It is a good deal though.
I know you say this to troll but I know plenty of people who wouldn't drink anything lighter than French roast. Taste is preference
They're letting us use reusable cups again?

more details...
To qualify for the reusable cup benefit, you must have made at least one Star earning transaction. Valid on in-store beverage purchases only (max 3x per day).


i did read a while back Starbucks is trying to eliminate cups all together and have everyone bring their own. then if they dont have one they get charged to rent a cup.

I thought reusable cups were not sanitary? Do you just set it there, and they fill it up on the counter so they don't touch your cup?

when i saw this i was under the impression that it's one-time use only; giving out 25 stars EVERY time you reuse a cup is worth way more than the $.10 off..but if it is indeed every time, they should add an option in the app to indicate as much, but have some way to keep your order in queue for when you get there to give them the cup

Starbucks announced new upcoming changes here:
https://stories.starbucks.com/pre...rewards-2/

Noteworthy thing:
Starting April 22 (earth day) customers that bring in a reusable cup will earn 25 bonus stars on their order and 10¢ off their drink order.

To be seen how long this will go for and if the stars can be used as normal stars.
Also, would be interesting to see if you'll earn the 25 stars when redeeming stars.
The 10 cents reusable cup has always been around.
Not sure if you get bonus stars if you used stars to buy this but that would be interesting....

They'll rinse your cup for you if you ask them to and than they'll fill it...
They stopped during the pandemic but started doing this policy again at least in California which seems to be one of the strictest states with this stuff.

Good deal if you are a coffee drinker. Buy 2 coffee in 2 visits (25 pt each) , get 1 free (50 pt redeem)

But i agree, wonder how clean is it to use "reusable". Even if i clean my tumber, it looks and sometime smells bad with all the coffee stain

I read a story awhile back about some guy in the military that never washed his coffee cup ever his entire career so that should give you your answer. LOL
