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?

Their nitro coffee is good. Not a fan of regular, but I'll drink the nitro black.

Love their nitro cold brew, iced shaken espressos and iced chai lattes with espresso shots.

Are they going to clean your dirty cup from your car before filling the new drink or you have to clean the cup first before you give the cup to them?

Starbucks point system is a joke. I am not going as much as I used to bc they erase my points if I don't use in a short time. I fell like they are forcing me to purchase more so I wouldn't lose the points I have so I don't go at all. You suck Starbucks

What next, fix your own cup of coffee for another 10 cents off?

I remember back around 2014, it would be like 12 purchases (1 star per purchase) before you can get free food or drink, not including any bonus promos like star dashes.

With 25 bonus stars for the reusable cup, I'd be able to get their most expensive cup of whatever drink by buying 6 cups of drip coffee, or a food item after 8 cups of coffee.

This is a very good deal if you go to Starbucks with any frequency.

They actually paused the points expiration for awhile. Also here's a thought, use them. Also there are lots of places you go to I am sure that don't have any kind of points or rewards system and you still go to them. I use my points to buy merchandise most of the time.

I can use a reusable cup but they won't return the do-it-yourself cream and sugar due to Covid? Weird.

Starbucks is shortly going to be introducing a cup cleaning machine in their stores, so yes there will be a cleaning service coming. They will either offer you a fully cleaned cup, or clean yours for you.

I've done better under the new plan, but only because they keep sending me these promo offers where if I buy this or that food or drink, I get bonus stars. Every now and then I'd get something I might not otherwise get, to get that extra 100-150 stars, but usually they were items I'd normally buy. So, these offers and promos only make sense if you go there regularly and get the kinds of items that get you extra stars. For me, this does, but not everyone likes using travel mugs.

on the front page:
Starting 4/22, get 25 Stars when you bring your clean, reusable cup into the café. Stars can quickly add up to Rewards.

so I guess it's good from today forward until Starbucks says it's no longer good.
