    Got it! Thank you!!

  2. Becka

    I got the free drink this morning! I LOVE Starbucks!

  3. chrissy1925

    If I don’t get the emails, could it possibly be in my account if I sign in?

    • Laura

      I have the app, mine showed up there. But yes, I would log into your account.

    • Snowknott

      I agree with you. I have been Starbucks reward program for three years and NEVER receive any email on free stuffs. Weird and not fair!!

  4. staceymarie

    I don’t ever get these offers 🙁 I wonder if its because I spend a lot there already? Seems odd.

    • Geena O Joseph

      yup, looks like that to me too..so we stopped going to Starbucks… got a 50% off food..but we never buy food there anyway 🙂

      • Corina

        Their “food’ is a joke.Thier sandwiches are premade and kept in the fridge. When you order thier $4-5 sandwich, they just pop it in the microwave, heat and serve. I had a BOGO coupon & bought two once in a drive thru, not knowing any better. Then I happen to go inside to buy the tomato mozzarella & witnessed the fridge full of sandwiches. Not saying that some of thier sandwiches don’t taste good, though. =)

        • Sandy

          They actually use a convection oven. Bacon & bread is able to crisp up a bit :).

    • Ruby

      I’ve achieved gold status there for the next 3 years (yes I got there almost daily) and DID receive this offer. So I’m wondering if it’s more random assignment than frequent flyer? Idk.

    • Lisa K.

      I never get them either and that’s exactly what I wondered too…. if it’s because they only send it to folks who don’t go very often.

  5. CW

    I got a free drink too!

  6. irene

    Mine’s different — $2 off espresso. Sounds good to me! 🙂

    • Pam

      Mine too. Now if only I could get motivated in this Polar Vortex to go out and get that hot drink!

    • Jessica R.

      I got this too, but I have the espresso tumbler. I need a food coupon! : /

    • Candice

      I got the $2 off espresso coupon as well. Will go perfectly with the $10 bonus eGift I just received for taking advantage of the Zulily deal last month!

  7. DC

    I didn’t get an offer. Do you think it depends how many stars you have earned?

    • CW

      I only have 3 stars and got a free drink

  8. Tricia

    Glad I saw this. I got the free tall drink.

  9. Mrs. Waller

    I actually got this one! Thanks, Collin!

  10. R

    where would it be in the account? does it just pop up?

  11. axhilli

    I got $2 off espresso so I’ll probably go get a white chocolate mocha to warm up I’ve been hibernating away from these extreme cold temps.

  12. Jennifer

    Mine says msr free drink. What type of drink do I get for free?

    • jac

      Not exactly sure, but MSR stands for “my Starbucks rewards.” I got the same thing.

      Collin, thanks for posting. Mine expires tomorrow, & I wouldn’t have know otherwise.

      • jac

        Just redeemed mine, & the cashier told me that the free MSR drink is “anything you want,” including an extra shot of espresso!

        • Jennifer

          Wow!!! Thanks for the update! So excited

  13. Jaelindsey

    Got one! So excited!

  14. Roxana

    I called Starbucks reward program and they reset my settings for promotion and offers and I finally got my free drink. Yippie!

  15. dawn

    Once agin, not a deal I get. In fact I haven’t had one of these deals yet.

  16. Jessica R.

    P.S. The new flan flavor just tastes like butterscotch. Thumbs down for that one.

    • nickyB

      Ohh I think it sounds great! I love butterscotch. Anyone else try it yet? BTW I got a $2 off espresso in my app.

      • nickyB

        Just tried it. It was pretty good. Tasted like butterscotch on the first sip!! I prefer mochas over lattes tho. Less milk maybe?

  17. Jean

    I only got 50% off food too. Boo!

  18. Valerie

    Check your starbucks account. I had a Tall Drink waiting in my account.

    I also just called customer service and they stated that Green Star Members DON’T receive the emails with all the special promos. Only Gold Star Members and that the emails are random.

    • Brooke

      That is completely untrue. I’m a Green Star Member and I get the emails all the time. I just got the $2 off an espresso drink today.

    • Migdalia

      Not true.I just earn gold status but I got a lot of emails w special promos as a green member

  19. Stephanie

    I got the free drink- I only just started the rewards program a couple weeks ago and bought my first drink with it on Monday

  20. Laura

    Received 50% off espresso!

  21. Kelly Piper

    I never get offers…never 🙁

    • jac

      I found this in the Starbucks rewards terms & conditions:

      “You must opt-in to receive promotional and marketing offers from Starbucks and provide a valid email, telephone and physical address in order to receive your special offers”

      Maybe check your settings?

      • mike

        Thanks..maybe that’s been the problem

  22. Tami

    In my account I have $2 off any espresso till Jan 14th!!! Fun!! And yum!!!

  23. traci

    50% food. the breakfast artisan sandwich is really good there, esp when it comes out fresh and hot. Put the starbucks app on your phone. you will see the promotions in there sooner than the email. I lost out on a promotion previously due to it being on my app /account but not in the emails. u will be surprise.

  24. Cvvaldez

    Got a free drink 🙂

  25. Alyssa

    I never get any special rewards 🙁

  26. Lynn

    Free drink, thx for posting Collin. Peppermint Latte today, while I run my errands and check out the other deals you have posted!

  27. Christine

    I got $2 off expresso. I also got my free $10 ecard yesterday from Zulily from the promo in Dec.

  28. Sara

    I NEVER get these offers 🙁

  29. gamommaof3

    I got a free tall drink! I’m not a gold rewards member and found the code under rewards in my app!!

  30. Wendy

    Woo Hoo! Got a my free tall drink…will be getting it on the way home from work! 🙂

    • Wendy

      That is terrible…should have said Got “my” free tall drink.

  31. Jennifer

    Finally got my first offer!! I’ve been a gold card holder since November and found it under rewards on my app. Didn’t get an email though.

  32. Diane

    Any drink? I just saw the offer on my app

  33. jenny

    i have 2 registered cards on my account, one with zero balance. can i use this to redeem the offer?

    • Diane

      Offers don’t expire even if u don’t have A balance especially if it’s FREE.

  34. Kelli t

    Thanks for the hookup Obama! More freebies! Thx for the deal notices Colin! Happy new year

  35. Sujey

    I stopped going to starbucks after I got pregnant with my first child last year, but before that i used to go almost daily. I choose not to drink coffee right now since i’m breastfeeding but I have been getting their promotions lately and today I got the Free tall drink offer. I just give it to my family members since my husband only drinks Nespresso we have the lattisima plus espresso machine.

  36. Stephanie

    For those of you with the free drink offer- how do you redeem it? I went to Starbucks with app open and showed her the page with the code. However, she didn’t know how to redeem it and just gave me my drink without ringing me up. Are they supposed to scan something, or enter a code manually on the register?

    • Shannon

      They have to enter the 3 digit promo code and then they swipe your card or scan your app. Hope that helps

  37. Hilary

    I got one for $2 off an espresso drink. Good until the 14th. Better than nothing. Thanks!

  38. Emily Wakehouse

    Both of our accounts had $2 off an espresso on there too! YAY. Thanks collin for reminding me to check my starbucks account – we don’t always get emails alerting us of the offers loaded onto our cards but you never fail to remind me 😀

  39. Shannon

    I didn’t get an email but just checked and got 50% off food. Thanks for the heads up Collin

  40. Michelle

    I have a question about the starbucks rewards. I don’t have a rewards card and wondered if I put the app on my phone if I would need a card. My birthday is coming up and I would like my free drink!
    Thank u:)

    • Amy L

      You should buy a $5 card and register it. It’s doesn’t take much, I rarely pay for my cards just use rewards (Disney or coke) to claim them then add them to the card I have.

    • ian

      Just sign up and register any Starbucks gift card to your account. Fill in your info on your profile, birthday etc. ALSO opt-in to receive promotional emails and then just keep reloading the register gift card to pay for your purchases (or if you have the app on your phone, pay with your app)

  41. Amy L

    Yay free tall drink! Since it looks like tomorrow we will finally be going back to school after this winter blast I get a treat 🙂

  42. Jlove

    I got the free tall (which is an incredible encouragement to me this week). I never see any discount emails or even a “just for you” section, but today I logged into my account to check and there it was!! So log in people, it may be there!

  43. steph

    Anyone know what the grande poohbah badge is??? I earned one but have no clue what it is! Do I get extra stars? And I earned a 2014 new years badge too. What is that???

  44. Michelle W

    I got $2 off an expresso drink.

  45. Sheena

    I got the Free Tall beverage ! Very nice! Thank You!

  46. Robyn

    If you downloaded the Starbucks app. Look under your benefits where the stars are located and it will tell you if that reward is on your card.

  47. Kim

    I have a gift card from here anbody have one to trade? Pm me!

  48. Migdalia

    I got the free drink.Going tomorrow morning before work

  49. Jane

    What can you get for a free tall drink? Is it only their regular coffee or like lattes? Sorry do not really frequent Starbucks that much. Thanks 🙂

    • Julie

      you can get any drink. tall is just the size. hope this helps! 🙂

      • Jane

        Thank you 🙂

  50. Shannon

    My account shows 50% off food earlier today but just got the email stating its a free bagel. Did anyone else get this email?

    • Anne

      I got the same email, I wish I would’ve gone in earlier for the 50% off food since I wouldn’t go in there for a bagel. On another note, I’ve gotten $2 off food on my card and saw the reward looking on my app. I redeemed it for a snowman cookie with no issues. The next day the email came saying the $2 was off a breakfast sandwich.
