  8. MidwestMama

    Hi, gold card member here… I never get these offers 😭

    • Amber

      My husband and I drink WAY too much Starbucks as well. Check the inbox on the sbux app as someone above suggested. We never get these email offers either, and we both had the same coupon in our inbox.

  9. Mary Bilderback

    Thanks for reminding me, I love it when someone else makes my morning coffee and I get one free later! woohooooooooooooo

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re very welcome!

  10. cassandane

    Yay! It was on my app. Also have a star dash for a holiday drink/breakfast item/tea (150 stars) AND 10 bonus stars w purchase after 11am ANd 2 purchase for 20 star/4 purchase for 50 stars ANd this free drink w purchase. It’s rare Starbucks has overlapping deals! Oh, I also bought a Sbux GC at Kroger for 4x fuel points 🙂

  11. AngelC

    Found mine in the app, thanks for the heads up!

  12. Laura

    Ugh, none for me 😕

  13. Mommiemy3

    Thank you!!! 😁

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re welcome!

  14. gymone1

    None for me. I buy drinks at Starbucks multiple times a month before work and never get any good deals.

  15. riss

    Yay ! I got one! Thanks for the heads up!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Woohoo! YW!

  16. KrissyMurphy

    Awesome! I had the offer in my inbox, but probably would’ve missed it if I hadn’t seen this! 😀

  17. Mel

    Thx. Would have missed this without your post!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re welcome!

  18. Crystal Evans

    I got mine!

  19. Kathy

    Would not have known to check my inbox. Thanks, H2S!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re welcome Kathy!

  20. Bekah

    Has anyone seen the free drink show up? I had the promotion on my app, bought a coffee yesterday and I’m almost at the 24 hr mark, but don’t have any extra rewards or seen any special coupon show up. I’m wondering if anyone has seen it and can tell me how it shows up on your account. Thanks!

    • drejo1985

      No, have not seen mine either

      • Ericaaaaa

        I’m glad I’m not alone, I’m almost at 24 hour mark and no coupon anywhere!

        • Kathy

          Same here… Anyone get the reward?

    • Brenda

      Anyone get the free coupon yet?

    • Jennifer

      Over 24hrs, no coupon yet

    • Courtney

      Purchased yesterday and today and I don’t see any free drink in my app

    • Jennie

      Same here. I bought a drink on the 24th and it is now the 26th and my coupon has not shown up 🙁 I checked everywhere in the app and my inbox multiple times yesterday and this morning to no avail. And now the offer isn’t even popping up anymore in the app so I can’t even check the details again or prove that I even had the offer.

      • Dee

        Exactly the same is happening to me!! “…my coupon has not shown up 😦 I checked everywhere in the app and my inbox multiple times yesterday and this morning to no avail. And now the offer isn’t even popping up anymore in the app so I can’t even check the details again or prove that I even had the offer.”

    • Trish0606

      I didn’t get the reward yesterday for buying on Friday. I bought again yesterday and haven’t seen it come up yet.

    • Tracey

      Over 24 hrs (bought a drink on Friday) and no coupon. And now the message about this deal that was in my app is gone. This is ridiculous!

  21. Mary

    Made purchase and still have not received my free drink does anyone know if the purchase had to be for a specific amount

  22. Missie

    Was in my app, but after i opened it to see details and went back to home page, it was gone. ☹

    • Jessica

      You didn’t have to click anything. If it was in the app, then it’s still on your account. Just make the purchase and it should work.

  23. Amy

    Had the offer in my app. Purchased yesterday. No coupon yet and offer no longer shows anywhere in my app. “In box” message in app about the offer is even gone. Hopefully they fix it all soon. Glad not just me!

  24. Erik

    Same here. Made the purchase on the first day and it’s been over 24 hours. Nothing. I even asked at a store today and the baristas had no idea what I was talking about… felt dumb and desperate for free coffee… I can’t help myself…

  25. Suzy

    I did it on the 24 and 25 with different drinks. Thinking that was why no coupon. But still nothing. Also my barista had no idea about it either.

  26. Jennie

    ***For anyone who purchased a drink over 24hrs ago and did not receive the coupon for the free drink: I called Starbucks customer service and immediately got through to a representative who verified my purchase from two days ago and added the free drink to my card in less than 5 minutes. The number to call is: 1-800-782-7282

    • AngelHao

      Thanks, just called the 1-800 number, waited for about 15 minutes before spoke with the Rep, she verified my purchases and loaded 125 stars to my card within 5 minutes.

  27. Bebe

    I sent Starbucks an email yesterday about this and they added 125 stars to my account which is the equivalent of one free item. This was clearly a glitch in their system and anyone who hasn’t received the reward should also reach out to them.

  28. Lisa

    OMG I thought I was going crazy. I received an email as well as a message in my inbox in the Starbucks app. I made a purchase yesterday and now there is no trace of the offer anywhere and no coupon! It’s like they sent the offer in error and later decided to delete it from existence. I will be calling Starbucks. Thanks to all!

  29. Marianne Rojas

    I just called them and they are loading $7.00 onto my account and did not offer to load the 125 stars.

  30. Amanda

    I called and the rep said the official word is that it will load 24 hours after the promotion ends. It ends today, so we shall see. If it’s not there, bet I will call again lol!

  31. Susan

    Screwed by Starbucks! Didn’t get anything free and bought venti lattes every day of offer, Nov. 24, 25, 26. It disappeared from my message box today and I did not delete it myself. So wrong!

    • Jessica

      Did you contact customer service yet? I had the same problem. I e-mailed them, and they credited my account within a few hours.

  32. Kerri

    Got the offer, went and got my drink. No coupon. Now the offer has disappeared from my app AND my email. Did the same thing to my husband. What’s up with that??

    • Ellen

      Same here! I bought a drink yesterday, and when the coupon didn’t show up, I looked in my email inbox and Starbucks app, and the offer had disappeared from both!

      • Lisa

        Same thing happened to me. I emailed Starbucks yesterday (11/26) and today I was credited 125 stars to my account, which is equivalent to one free item. If you don’t receive your credit today, I would recommend calling or emailing their Customer Service Department.

    • Lisa

      I would also recommend that you check the Pay section of your app. This is the response that I received from the Starbucks C/S Department:

      Response (11/27/2017 04:08 AM)
      Dear Lisa,

      I am sorry that you did not get your Free Beverage Coupon for your purchases made in order to qualify for the Something Fun Something Free promotion. This experience sounds truly disappointing especially when every star brings you that much closer to your next Reward. I know I would be disappointed as well.

      I can see that you are a frequent customer who consistently earns exceptional rewards by using their Starbucks Card, so I want to get you back up and running towards earning your next Reward! If you will, I need for you to look at the PAY section of your app and tell me if you see the free beverage coupon in that section. We have been having alot of issues with noone receiving their coupon in the normal space on the app but mine was in my PAY section. I was just curious if this happened with your as well.

      I really appreciate you being a loyal Starbucks customer so I am going to go ahead and add 125 Bonus Stars to your account today for the free beverage. It usually takes up to 24 hours for these Stars to reflect on your account.

      Thank you so much for letting me fix something that went wrong. I hope you have a wonderful day.

      Sincerely,

      Vanessa L.
      Starbucks Customer Care

  33. Carl

    My fiance and I got the offer on our app. We each bought a drink on the 25th and still haven’t gotten our coupon. Anyone here actually get their coupon?

    • Carl

      And yes I looked under the pay tab in the app. All it has is my normal free rewards and my card.

  34. Mommiemy3

    Had to call yesterday and then email today. I finally received 125 stars.

  35. Riss

    I purchased a drink on Saturday and still didn’t get the reward so I emailed Starbucks customer service this afternoon, and got a reply late afternoon saying they’d put the one free drink reward within 48 hours. I checked my app and it’s there! 🙂

  36. Steven

    Came here to check! Never got my free reward. I guess I’ll be messaging them tomorrow!

  37. Dee

    UPDATE: I too hadn’t gotten my coupon. I emailed customer service and after 24 more hours it appeared this morning! 🙂

  38. veeRob

    Pretty pissed it’s not just me. I just emailed Starbucks customer service, but what about all the people that did this promotion that didn’t even check for the free drink or forgot about it? Shame on you, Starbucks. You should be giving us all TWO FREE DRINKS for wasting our time and not running this promotion correctly.

  39. Jame

    You made some decent points there. I looked on the web for the issue and identified most people will go together with together with your web-site.

  40. David Kelsey

    What counts as handcrafted? I had a coupon that required purchasing a handcrafted beverage, but I was told the cotton candy Frappuccino I ordered was not handcrafted. So I don’t know what’s handcrafted and what’s not. Can anybody who knows clarify?
