If you already have a membership to the Starbuck's rewards program and someone gives you a gift card as a birthday gift, get the cashier to transfer the balance on to your registered card so you get the points! Whoop whoop!! Thanks to all that mentioned the "per purchase" tip....totally did not realize it worked that way!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031856823903797217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-89726771333896150802012-04-24T13:49:34.294-04:002012-04-24T13:49:34.294-04:00I've been a gold member for years.

Did you also know you get free refills on drip coffee and free refills on tea (iced as well)? You can work this and get what you want with all of your add ins too. Love it!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453791558601335940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-78917511032535605802012-04-24T12:39:51.572-04:002012-04-24T12:39:51.572-04:00I have to share! I've been a gold card holder...I have to share! I've been a gold card holder for a couple years now and I *just* learned that you earn a star by a purchase, regardless of the # of coffees on a single ticket. SO, when you run by Starbucks for your daily fix and pick up an extra drink for your hubby, daughter or friend, ring them up seperately so they'll both count instead of just one! Does that make sense? I hadn't realized this but the barista just shared that with me this morning--maybe because we've really gotten to know each other? LOL Here I thought all those extra drinks counted. :o( If someone has heard differently, let me know but she swore that's how it's done.<br />Because there is a Starbucks in my grocery store, I can use a reloadable gift card to the grocery store to load up my gold card. 5% of the $ I use from the groc store card goes to my church--but can be any participating charity. Love doubling-up!Cheree @ The Morning Latte https://www.blogger.com/profile/05537258163077932864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-33837186693489922572012-04-24T11:54:07.381-04:002012-04-24T11:54:07.381-04:00My husband treats his Starbucks Gold Card like he ...My husband treats his Starbucks Gold Card like he has the Black AMEX that only the super duper rich and or celebs get granted... So it's kind of funny when we pull up to Starbucks and he whips out the Gold card - lol.... another advantage we found to benefit us is that we use our Southwest Airlines Visa card to reload so we get more Rapid Rewards points and rack up miles as we would have anyways... so we are getting 2 benefits out of this deal! PS - I did not think to do separate purchases... I am going to start doing that now.. get more freebies faster :-) Fave drunk is a Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte :)A Mom On The Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407385993717070559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-90595953524938567112012-04-24T11:49:19.630-04:002012-04-24T11:49:19.630-04:00I never would have had any idea about this, Amanda...I never would have had any idea about this, Amanda, so I'm glad you shared the tip! <br /><br />I'm late in wishing you a happy birthday. I was out of town this weekend and have gotten behind on several things. I hope you had wonderful day! (It was Saturday, right? Nice to have a weekend birthday!)Richella Parhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04353214472648623583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-3679714457847162262012-04-24T11:33:11.556-04:002012-04-24T11:33:11.556-04:00A few additional tips!!

Each purchase (not items in a purchase) counts towards a star. Plus, they send you offers throughout the year. I got 30% off beverage cups at the holidays, sometimes a free pastry or treat, plus the birthday drink. It's totally worth it to register! So even if you don't drink coffee, it might be worth it :) No affiliation with Starbucks, just an avid coffee drinker!Mrs Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775681174752338068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-75257500754117899822012-04-24T09:56:44.092-04:002012-04-24T09:56:44.092-04:00Neat!

I have a registered card through Starbucks but I never use it, I probably should keep reloading for freebies since I go there so often. I looooove Panera's freebies, I use that card a lot too. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4550079205854272848.post-64258590633209625232012-04-24T08:07:42.035-04:002012-04-24T08:07:42.035-04:00Yep I really like the lemon cake!
