Starbucks: FREE drink card in Sunday’s paper!

by crystal on July 3, 2008

I know, I know, I’m really behind here. I’m trying to clean out my inbox before the long weekend…

Many areas received an insert from Starbucks in their Sunday newspaper. This insert included a free drink card redeemable DAILY for a free 12 oz. hot or cold coffee drink from Sunday through July 14, 2008!

Okay, since we’re not getting the paper right now (long story!) and I’ve yet to find a paper from Sunday in the recycling bins yet, can someone tell me whether this coupon was in the Kansas City Star? If so, I’m going to turn the recycling bins inside out till I find one!

Rebekah July 3, 2008 at 2:16 pm: I have two that I can mail you if you want them.
Email me at rebekahdawn_ak@yahoo.com if you are interested. I wont use them and would be glad to give them to you.

Money Saving Mom here: Seriously, Rebekah? That is way too kind of you! Does anyone know if these are good nationwide? If so, yes, I will gladly take them and use them. I loves me some Starbucks. You are my new best friend. :)
katie July 3, 2008 at 2:29 pm: only good in IN and GA, but there was a different coupon for TX, I believe?

So annoyed, cause I’m in GA, but couldn’t get a copy of the AJC on Sunday.
Lea Ann July 3, 2008 at 2:48 pm: Texas only got “good for one iced coffee”. Not daily. only once. boo hoo. (but it was good!)
Mary July 3, 2008 at 2:50 pm: I would LOVE this. I didn’t see it in the Charlotte paper. Does anyone know if it’s good in NC? I would trade tons of coupons for one of these!

Marla July 3, 2008 at 3:14 pm: Someone else already explained that the cards are only good in GA and IN (I’ve heard of other states getting them too but they aren’t good nationwide) but I wanted to add that they are ONLY for a free “brewed coffee” – and that my local Starbucks couldn’t even give me an iced decaf. (I wrote to Starbucks and they confirmed that not all stores offer iced decaf brewed coffee yet.) So while it’s a great thing, it’s not like you can go in and get a 12 oz Frappucino.
Sheri Fleming July 3, 2008 at 3:27 pm: I get the KC Star and the Q was not there. i was bummed to say the least.
shel@lifewithseven July 3, 2008 at 3:29 pm: Darn it, we didn’t get any of those coupons around here. Wish we did though, I love Starbucks!
Margery July 3, 2008 at 3:47 pm: I received one of these in the Atlanta paper. I tried to use it in a Starbucks inside Target, and they wouldn’t take it. The barrista said her manager told her they have to be used at stand-alone Starbucks. The fine print only says not at Barnes and Noble locations. Bummer. I’ve yet to get any free coffee with the card.
Karen July 3, 2008 at 3:53 pm: Here in TX the coupon came on separate cardstock type paper, all brown, with a punch out card noting “receive one tall cup of iced brewed coffee”.
Robin July 3, 2008 at 10:56 pm: Whew glad I caught this, I am going dumpster diving!
cherist July 4, 2008 at 8:04 am: Love ours in Indiana! It is good for a coffee or an iced coffee – the Iced is my favorite starbucks offering during the summer. The other drinks are much too sweet. You can use it every day til the 14th, I believe.
Heather July 5, 2008 at 11:25 am: I bought 3 of the Savannah Morning News and didn’t see any of these. I got all excited, too.
Francis July 5, 2008 at 12:39 pm: In which paper did you find this in Texas?
SaverChic July 5, 2008 at 5:37 pm: No coupon in the Chicago Tribune either. Too bad! Sounds like a good find if you can get it!
Joy July 6, 2008 at 7:36 pm: No Starbucks coupon in the Vancouver WA paper. Seattle WA, the home of Starbucks and no coupon in Washington papers…what’s with that?
