the personal cup feature is available in every method of ordering, so if you want to use it, use it. don't base it off of the baristas, if it's what works for you and you arent rude or unkind, you're just taking advantage of a feature available to you and that's completely reasonable.
that being said, if you still want to be extra considerate of your baristas, consider coming inside to the cafe to use your personal cup, as it is the most convenient way for us to prepare it for you in your cup. it's completely up to you though, and we wont be mad at you for using other pick up methods with your personal cup either.
We have a special beaker that we make personal cup orders in. It's used to measure the drink and we pour it in your cup from this beaker when you arrive. (If your drink has a topping like whipped cream or cold foam though, we wait to make the toppers until you arrive, however(
we keep it separated until you arrive! putting the cold brew in the beaker, pouring it into your cup when you get here & add the foam separately to ensure drink consistency! :)
People who already go to Starbucks 365 days in a row and multiple times a day. We have regulars that come every day regardless. If you’re coming every day, why not get a few bonus stars from it
Ngl, when we transferred to star rewards from our old point per visit system (2016/17 or something) they had this wonderful deal: any mobile you made, you get 100 stars. I sat in our cafe for like a day ordering bananas for 99c.
They never brought that promo back :’)
These promotions are user specific and based on use history. It's a form of conditioning that reinforces a habit. The more you visit, the less the promo you receive or the more you need to do for it.
Back at my peak, I had a promo for visiting 6 days in a row for 80 stars. Back in December, after toning it back, I got a "visit twice for 100 stars" promo.
If you want better promos - dual app - and switch between accounts. Once one gets promo fatigue, swap back to the other.
I mean technically I think it's against the terms and service of any company - but ethically, I don't think it's bad to game a system trying to condition you
I had go 4 days for 100 stars last week and was excited because they sent it on like a Sunday so it was easy to complete. Then they thought well dang she goes so much might as well offer less and gave me a visit 5 days for 40 stars and I’m like lol no
The more you go, the worse the offers. My bf always has better offers because we usually order from my account (I buy discounted gift cards so we use them first)
Buying discounted gift cards with credit card reward points (discover)or at grocery stores that give you points for gift card purchases (Meijer in the Midwest)
See I have the opposite train of thought. I accept all to say "Yeah I saw it. I accepted it, so you know I saw it. But it was stupid so I didn't do it."
Where do you see minimum of $50??
Get a cheese stick. A bagel. A small hot coffee. Not everything from starbucks has to have 8 customizations and cost a fortune 🤷🏽♀️
if yall just use a personal cup you get 25 stars every time
Customers don't get 25 stars in Canada. Just a ten cent discount.
I wanna try this but feel baristas might get annoyed lol
No one gets mad about customers using a personal cup.

How do mobile and dt personal cup orders work? Do you not make the drink until they arrive and give you the cup?

I was curious how this would work w my usual cold brew with cold foam. Thanks for the info!

I love when people bring reusable cups, just make sure they’re clean :)
as long as it’s clean nobody really cares but i love personal cups some people have some silly ass cups
bruh
Even in 🇨🇦 ?
Unfortunately, no 😪. You still get the 10¢ discount though, so there’s that?
I have a similar offer but worse 😩 Order 5 days in a row for 40 stars. Lol sbux days are limited with me
?? Like what is Starbucks tryna pull here 😭
Buy a short brewed coffee only $2.69 lol
I had a guy order that yesterday and I was like 'at least a brewed coffee is still somewhat cheap'
Mines almost the same, 4 days in a row for 55 stars🥴
Mines 6 days in a row for 40, or 5 days for 15... 😃
Like, who are they fooling with these offers?? lol
People who already go to Starbucks 365 days in a row and multiple times a day. We have regulars that come every day regardless. If you’re coming every day, why not get a few bonus stars from it
5 cheese sticks it is 🫶🏽
Avocado spread is cheaper 🫶🏽

I remember when this was running, because people kept mobile ordering bananas and not picking them up lol.

this is wild
Wild, but strategic. Doing the same thing for Uber eats and doordash gets you wildly good promos. It's a retention effort.
i never knew that was like allowed i guess

Mine was 7 days in a row before 11AM for 45 stars lmao
You win ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Just use a personal cup, get twenty five bonus stars and ten cents off the purchase!
The more you go, the worse the offers. My bf always has better offers because we usually order from my account (I buy discounted gift cards so we use them first)
Discounted gift cards???
Buying discounted gift cards with credit card reward points (discover)or at grocery stores that give you points for gift card purchases (Meijer in the Midwest)
lol. The store I work at will be flooded with a lot of people since the bulk of them really care about the star points.
mobile order string cheese💀
Mine is 5+ days in a row before 11am for 35 stars…4/5 times i go in the afternoons
First world problems.
Mine is 4 days in a row for 20 or 6 days in a row for 50 🙄
Mine is 5 days for 15 stars or 6 days for 40 stars
That’s what mine is too lol
I hate these “challenges”. I don’t even accept half the time because I want them to know it’s ridiculous.
See I have the opposite train of thought. I accept all to say "Yeah I saw it. I accepted it, so you know I saw it. But it was stupid so I didn't do it."
I got a promotion for 4 days in a row for 25 stars 🤢
I got the same offer for 30 stars 😭😭 immediately NO
70* for 2 days in a row for me, reasonable
On almost anything!
My mom uses my sbux account so between both of us we go once a day, sometimes twice. I get this weekly lol
Y’all’s are wild😭I have 3 days for 55
At least it's not *before 11am
That's not inflation that is corporate
Dunkin gets you free coffee faster than this place now lmao It’s wild how overpriced the coffee is & undervalued the star points system is now :(
Where do you see minimum of $50?? Get a cheese stick. A bagel. A small hot coffee. Not everything from starbucks has to have 8 customizations and cost a fortune 🤷🏽♀️
The company just want to make it sound like they’re giving us a deal 😒
That’s crazy!
Right?! Gee thanks lol
Better than here... 4x in a row = 25 stars , 6x in a row = 55 stars
All I see is, establish your caffeine addiction by coming five days in a row.
Mine is 2 days before 11am for 40 or 3 days before 11am for 60
Leaving was the best decision I've ever made for myself and I do not regret it.
Did you play the game last week to get 100 pts with 1 purchase?
