The new reward program took effect today and they are offering either a year extension of your gold or a bump to Gold if you are currently green as long you make a purchase by May 2!

@jetsa: ooh- thanks for the heads up!
-
@jetsa: thanks!!
-
Now that's good customer service!
-
Nice perk but I'm still not thrilled about the change. It will take me so much longer to get anything for free. Boo.
-
@pregnantbee: Really? I did the math and it'll be faster or the same for me. Maybe I'm calculating wrong?
-
@Torchwood: I visit all the time, but the total dollar amount per purchase isn't that high. So with the old system, I was rewarded bc of my frequent visits. Now, the focus is more on dollar amount spent rather than number of visits.
-
@pregnantbee: Yeah it is going to take me forever too. We just got a dunkin in the biggest town in our area and the rewards are better than starbucks but there is less coupons so it'll be interesting to see how that plays out moving forward. Dunkin is 5 points per dollar and 200 for a free drink as compared to 2 points per dollar and 125 for a free drink.
@Torchwood: I ran the math too and its about the same provided you are buying $4-$5 drinks each time. I prefer regular coffee and iced coffee so it is quite a few less points each time.
-
@jetsa: I do get $5 drinks every time, so I guess I was right, whew! DH drinks the cheap stuff, so he won't be as much help. Though I didn't think his counted under the old system? (He gets black coffee, that's it.) And the occasional pumpkin scone will count now!
-
@jetsa: LUCKY. There are no DDs in my area. I'm still sad about that, and I've lived here for almost 9 years!
-
@pregnantbee: it's 30 mins away but close-ish to my work so I've been making excuses to go lol. I
coffee.@Torchwood: I have always had coffee count, who knows?
-
@jetsa: @Torchwood: regular coffee counted too. But the old way it was only one star per transaction. So it didn't matter if the transaction was $2 or $15, still just one star. I think it's better for those that go to Sbux for fancy drinks but not so much for the regular coffee drinker.
Good for me since Sbux is a treat for me and I only go for fancy drinks about once a month!
coffee.
