FREE $5 Starbucks Card eGift for AT&T Wireless Customers (1st 20,000 Only!)
If you are an AT&T wireless customer, head on over here to sign up for AT&T Alerts. It’s free to sign up, plus the first 20,000 people to sign up and confirm their registration and geolocation will receive a FREE $5 Starbucks Card eGift. Keep in mind that it did take quite awhile (at least a few hours) for me to receive each of the text messages back once I signed up.
Important Note: AT&T Alerts is not compatible with iPhone 5 or pre-paid phones.
Also, note that I first received a text message back asking me to text the word COFFEE to share my AT&T location. Then, after a couple of hours, I received another text back with an exclusive code and a link to click on to enter the code to score my FREE $5 Starbucks card! It appears that you can either opt to show the card on your mobile device at your local Starbucks, or enter the card and pin number at checkout if you want to order online.
Fine Print: Limit 1 Offer per participant. Open to current AT&T Wireless customers only. Offer expires 3/31/2013. Your personal information will not be used outside of the AT&T Alerts program. By Pressing submit you are authorizing AT&T to collect this information in order to send you the AT&T Alerts Message. You must be 18 or over. AT&T Alerts is a FREE service.
* You can always reply STOP to cancel these text alerts.

Oh bummer. It’s for wireless customers only. 🙁 We have ATT Uverse, but it didn’t work out. Oh well…
Love AT&T and love Starbucks! Thanks!
dont think I want to give out any more personal information just to get a $5 Starbuck’s card.
Exactly!
Why do they need to know our exact location? How are they using that information? Is’;t that an invasion of privacy and personal space? All for $5
They can already track you if you are a customer. They can pin your location if he police get a warrant. Happens all the time in missing person cases. Plus you can unsubscribe.
Sam is correct – any time you use your cell phone for texting/calling/etc – they are able to track your location.
Says I’m already signed up. Bummer.
How long did it take to get it? I signed up but haven’t recieved anything.
It took almost 5 hours total for me to receive both of the text backs.
Thanks. I recieved the first text about an hour after this post. I then got the text again 20 minutes later asking me to text Coffee again. An hour later the code for the $5 came in.
As an egift only for if you have a starbucks card already??
You dont have to have a starbucks gift card already, but if you do you can add the new ecard to your existing card. otherwise you can print the egift card and use it at your local starbucks
Oh ok thanks 🙂
you should note that it’s for at&t WIRELESS customers. I’m an at&t customer but only for their internet service and don’t qualify for this.
she mentions text messages and iPhones throughtout the post. Be serious.
🙂
Thanks… I’ll update with this.
Not compatible with iPhone 5!? 🙁
Right, no iPhone 5???
Seriously? What is that about? Tried my husband’s lowly 3GS. 😉
I have an iphone 5 and it worked for me.
Yes, it worked for me too, but AT&T says that this service does not work for us. It’s not us iPhone 5 users who are saying it!
Signed up anyway. C’mon AT&T, are you serious?!?
Thanks, hoping I wasn’t too late 🙂
Darn!!! I’m a internet only person and am not impressed with the service I am getting!
Can anyone give me more specific info on the time frame for this deal? I filled out the online application just minutes after Collin posted, but didn’t get the text w/info to reply w/”COFFEE” until 12:20pm (MST). Then I replied at 12:29pm b/c I didn’t see it right away (doing chores!) and then it texted me the same thing AGAIN at 12:39. Again, I didn’t see it right away, so I texted back “COFFEE” again at 12:56pm, but now nothing. I think I must have missed out 🙁
It took me almost the entire day yesterday to do this. It started yesterday morning (around 9ish) and I didn’t get my GC until after 7pm that evening. Give it some time and hopefully it will come through for you 🙂
It took about 2 1/2 hours from registering to getting the egift card.
same thing happen to me. I texted back coffee and then got another txt telling me to reply with coffee. hopefully the next msg will be the giftcard.
Hi,Mo. I did this yesterday and after I reply With “COFFEE” it took more than 4 hours to receive my code. Hope you will get one too. Good luck 🙂
thanks ladies – we’ll hope! <3 to use these kinds of things not for myself (I'm fine with home brewed coffee) but for teacher appreciation gifts or to thank other people with when they've helped out with different things. Fingers crossed!
I had the same thing happen. When I replied to the 2nd text it sent the code right away.
Still nothing! 🙁 Other people are saying they got theirs in 2 hours. Super bummed (and confused!).
Not compatible with prepaid users, bah humbug! Had a feeling this was the case when I tried it last night. Oh well. 🙂
I sent my text late last night and this morning I finally received my code for the gift card. It took awhile but I did get it.
i’m not sure why this wouldn’t work with iphone5, so i tried it anyway & got my code. thanks!
I have an iphone 5 and it worked fine. 🙂
I did this yesterday with me and my two brothers, so $15 for our next Starbucks run is free. 🙂
I signed up for me & my hubby for this offer, but forgot to tell him about it, so he already replied back ‘STOP’ for the text alert.(he thought it’s a scam) Well I’ll do it again.lol
My husband did same!!! Dang it!
Still working! I thought I missed out, it took about 2 hours to get my code.
is this alert service any good? i don’t have a text plan with att but if I’m reading correctly, it will not charge for the text, correct since it is through att wireless?
I have an iphone 5 and I got the $5 gift card 🙂
I just got my code, it took about 1.5 hrs from start to finish.
It has been 5 hours and still no code back after texting coffee. hmmmm
I’ve got the code, finally, but each time I try to enter it, it says “That challenge attempt failed. Please try again.” Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? Has anyone else had this issue?
If you are copying and pasting make sure it doesn’t cut off letters or add a space. It did that to me
Worked fine for me! Yay!! I love free Starbucks!
my friend got it either a 2 hours. so I doubt I’ll be getting mine after 8 hours.
I signed up 10 h ago abd still haven’t received any messages 🙁
Thanks Collin! Awesome got one on my phone and my dh got one too!
At 1:40am CST, this offer was still valid. First text took about 5 minutes, after replying COFFEE, I received my reply within 10 minutes with my GC code. Don’t forget the starbucks $1 off coupon is still valid through the end of today….make that GC go further! I sent a text from each of the 4 phones on our plan, and got a GC for each one.
Website for the $1 coupon, good on any signature Espresso beverage like Caramel Machiatto, Cinammon Dolce and Cafe Mocha https://ebm.e.starbucks.com/c/tag/hBQ8PhgAJvkyvB8wTRIBZPO3Bim/doc.html
Got mine in < 20 minutes ☕ thanks!!!
I was robbed! I signed up, confirmed via text message, then their last message to me was “ATTAlerts: Thanks for sharing your location! Go to: to redeem your Starbucks gift card. T&Cs at https://nrby.me/6g3C“. There was no code or link or anything in that space after “Go to:” :(. I emailed AT&T about it but I’m not hopeful that I’ll hear anything. Phooey.
I got the same thing! It’s so vague.
That’s the exact same message I keep getting. No code. Bummer.
Me too. I’m guessing they reached the 20,000 limit. Would have been nice if the message said that !
Same here 🙁
Anyone know who to call if the text you got said go to blank for your gift card?
I got a reply with no code, too :'(
Has anyone used the code yet?? Just wanted to make sure it works for in store purchases.
Never got it – signed up as soon as I saw this yesterday, got the first text about an hour later, texted back with “COFFEE” and nothing…kinda stinks that some of us it wouldn’t work for and others were able to sign up for 2, 3, and even 4 people in their household. Wish the limit was one per household so it was more fair. Oh well….
If there are 4 different phones in a household, why shouldn’t they that’s 4 different people that are receiving alerts and paying an AT&T bill?
Bull I got a message. Replied back never received anything before half these people posted. I’m calling and complaining.
I just received this message from them:
ATTALERTS: We apologize that you did not receive your AT&T Alerts reward from Starbucks. We will send it as soon as we resolve the issue preventing delivery.
AT&T after trying to send my info for 5 times, I got nothing. Thank you AT&T my time is valuable.
