Yay! I got one! Headed there soon lol
If you got the email but won’t use it, would you mind sending it to me? I’d love to get a coffee today! My 12 month old has kept me up all night and I end to get to work 🙁

Never mind I see u need to pay with the same card. Sorry!
I’ll forward you mine. Just print it out and give it to the barista. Last time when I got the free tall salted caramel mocha, I did the same without swiping my card.
They didn’t ask for my card as there is no.payment due
I got it! Thanks 🙂
I got $2 off
That’s what I got as well. I’m a gold member so I doubt I get free items any longer.
I’m gold too, free stuff shows up in my account often but not always. Just varies with promotions.
I’m gold too and I got it. Too bad the Starbucks in my grocery store can’t do coupons so I have to drive like 15 miles to the nearest standalone location. ::(
I got mine…will be heading there after work! YAY! 🙂
Yay I got one!
I got a free handcrafted drink, thanks I would of never checked that email address
Is this offer good at Starbucks in Target?
I will find out today as that is the closest Starbucks to me (otherwise I would have to drive 20 minutes)
No, it won’t.
I tried yesterday, for the free tall drink and they said no.
Starbucks at Target never tastes the same. I like that they’re there, but it’s never the same for me.
I got this, but if the drink is free, how do I pay with my rewards card? My card is empty right now. Do I have to add money to it so that I can “pay” for my free drink??
I was wondering the same thing.
In the fine print the price is mentioned as .01 cent.
And you need to pay .01cent from your reg startbucks card.
You do not have to pay with your starbucks card they just need to swipe the card to verify its you and to redeem the offer you can pay with any form of payment after they swipe the card and I never paid any amount for a free drink before so this must be new but all she needs is to have a penny with her just in case not on her card.
The price isn’t .01, that’s the cash value of the coupon.
You don’t have to have money on your card they just need to swipe the card
Does it work that way for everything else? I get codes often but I don’t always have money. If I swipe the rewards card with money will I still get the discount and then I can just pay cash or with another card??
Yes, think of the card almost like a rewards card at a store. Even if there’s no cash on it, if they load a free drink or food item onto it, it will still work.
You don’t have to.
Also I’m a gold member but I never have $ in my card I just have them scan it and pay cash or with my CC.
So, I did not get an email. But it shows up under “My Rewards” on the Starbucks app (says it EXPIRED 1/9/2014) and on My Account at Starbucks.com. Wonder if I can still use it…?
Today is 1/9/2014–today is the only day you can use the reward
Yes you can still use it. It always shows up like that in the app on the day a offer expires but I’m still able to use them on that day.
I FINALLY got one!!! In all the time Collin has posted these free drinks, this is my first one. Don’t give up. For those asking if they can use their empty card, you should be able to b/c the offer is loaded directly to your card. My balance was $0 on my birthday and I redeemed my free drink using the card. I also saw a print option, so you could print out the offer too as backup.
When you print it, it says you need the coupon and your registered card.
Also, this is my first time getting an offer of any kind!
You’re right, I did need both when I went. Thanks for letting others know so I didn’t lead them astray!!
$1 off food : (
They have petite vanilla bean scones for $1, so that would be free. Their cookies & a lot of other items are in the $1.95-$2.25 range, so $1 off makes them roughly half price. (And, along with your treat, you get a star for very little money out of pocket.) Even if you don’t want the calories, you can make someone else’s day by sharing it with them 🙂
My son one and he’s a green card member. I didn’t care for it. But it nice trying it for free.
Mine is an offer for any “free tall drink!” Yay!!!
I got it!
Drinking mine now! Mine was for a free handcrafted drink. A lovely surprise during this awfully cold week!!
I got $1 off food,\too 🙁
What a sweet surprise in my inbox this morning. Two things: 1) You need to pay with your registered Starbucks Rewards card and 2) Once you activate the coupon on your smartphone it is only good for 10 minutes. So do not activate until you order. Enjoy the treat. 🙂
Another note: Yes, you can use your card even with a $0 balance. Mine had no funds on it and it worked just fine. 😉
After you use the free drink, does it disappear from your account?
I gave my Mother-in-law a gift card for Christmas and registered it for her. She is so excited because she got one.
That’s so cute!
I would also use it if someone isn’t going to.
You can’t get an offer from anyone else as they are linked to their own card.
This is the first offer posted that I actually got! But my registered card just got used up and the barista threw it away, so I can’t redeem. =(
Get another GC and put $5 on it. Register it under the same account. You can then use the new GC and keep it indefinitely.
Thanks for the tip!
I got an email from them saying they wanted to make my day by giving me a $10 e gift card!! Yay!!!! It had a code and I transferred right to my gold card.
Omg wow congrats!!
Thanks!!
I got the next ones on us and a 50% off any New York style bagel. Yum… free coffee and cheep food, score!
I use to get the coupons all the time to both my emails and about 3 months ago they just stopped. Not one since. I have emailed them but no reply. And I use my card often so if it’s loyalty hat triggers the coupons I would think i would have a few.
I received an email saying that I get a free tall caramel flan latte. But my app says FREE TALL DRINK. Going to try later for a regular caramel frapp! Mmmmm
I FINALLY got one!! This is the first time I’ve ever received a special. I was a daily customer at Starbucks for years but I got a Keurig for Christmas and haven’t been there in a couple of weeks. Coincidence?
I think that’s exactly how they work their offers. If you go to Starbucks too many times in a month, they won’t give you as many offers. It should be the other way…treat the ones that go often. But yay for you getting one!
Does anyone have any opinions on whether to get the latte or the frap in this new flavor? I usually prefer cold but thought I have read that it was not a good flavor?
hey there. I’d love to try this. if anyone has a code they won’t be using please email me as well. miamiorange00@yahoo.com thanks!!!
Mine said get any handcrafted beverage for free today. I was able to get a grande caramel macchiato. Great surprise.
mine has $1 via single lattes on display and on the back has a $1 coupon! A nice cheap add on to get a star and if target has more promos it’s a great added savings.
Nothing…Gold card member for years and I rarely get these
A little off topic but has anyone received the $10 gift card for spending $50 at Starbucks last month? I got my zulilly one yesterday but haven’t gotten the one that Starbucks was offering. Thanks!
Julie, I received an email today telling me they were sending me an e$10 through my account. I assume it to be the one you mention, as I loaded up on half priced Christmas blend after seeing that offer, but am not sure it is not one they owed me for buying 4 backs of their coffee at a grocery store and entering the star codes.
I just got my $5 egift card from Starbucks Rewards for buying at least three qualified bagged coffee/Kcups at Fry’s. The email went to my junk mail. I was excited about this because I got a 10 pack of Starbucks Carmel Kcups for $3.99 each (on sale for $5.99 and had $2 off coupon) plus getting the $5 gift card. I did this right before Christmas and just got the gift card.
Julie,
Did you ever get your $10 e-gift for spending $50? I never got mine. I did get the zulilly one already.
Yesterday I got the free tall drink on my app, and check email today I got the free tall caramel flan latte/frappucino. does it mean I got 2 free drinks?
Thanks Collin for posting
I thought I got 2 but the barrista told me it was the same offer when I went in today.
Yumm! Got one… then they accidentally made me a latte instead of a frappe so they gave me both 🙂 I’ll warm up the latte later
how does this starbucks rewards work?
Free tall drink here. Thank you to the OP, as I never would have looked at my account without seeing this thread.
Thank you!!! I’m on my way in the snow to pick up my hubby at the airport. This will make the hike more fun! Love the carmel brulee latte, hope this one’s good too!
I received the email and clicked on the redeem now thing so it opened and closed 10 minutes later. Can I still get the free drink if I use my gift card?
FYI you don’t have to use it on the caramel flan drink either. Just use your bucks card and give them the code number and it’s any tall drink for free… Just FYI.
I got a free drink and got the caramel flan.. It tasted like sweet milk lol and is making me sleepy instead of keeping me awake lol
If I got the free tall drink coupon from yesterday and got this coupon for a free latte, am I able to use it in the same transaction?
This offer sounds great but how do I become a member?? Where do I get a Starbucks Card? Is this like a gift card you load or a credit card?
I couldnt print it, i think i had pressed on it too many times before, Could i just show them the email?
If No One use it. I will take it off your hands. I just signed up and didn’t get no email for free drink…
