Starbucks Coffee

Will this apply to purchases at Starbucks counters at Chapters?

If I receive a Starbucks gift card as a gift, can I transfer the balance to my Gold Card?

i don't understand- i'm in canada and have been collecting with my registered card for a year- i have a gold card and already have recieved free drinks.

The rewards system has been in Calgary for awhile. Now it's rolling out to all Canada!

I signed up today, October 2 and didn't start at the green level as suggested in the post....

"If you registered your Starbucks Card before October 4, you’ll automatically be enrolled as a Green Level member which means you get to keep enjoying the benefits from Starbucks Card Rewards you’ve grown to love – free select syrups and milk options, free same visit refills and free tall drinks with your whole bean purchases."

Can someone fix this or was it just a gimmick?

I purchased and registered my Starbucks card today, October 3, and like jujubeans, I never got my green level membership. What do I do? Is it an automatic upgrade on October 4th for everyone?

Please fix it!! I got the card today just because I thought I'd get the benefits of a green level membership right away!

I've had my card registered for over a year and did not receive a gold card although I was suppose too  Can you tell me how to go about obtaining my gold card?

Ditto what laviva said.... I HAVE been getting my reward beverage postcards sent, but never received the GOLD card.  How do I get one now ?

ive had a starbucks gold card since 2008. will this card automatically allow me for the rewards?? i got this when starbucks had a special promo and it was only around for a short period of time in canada. also can we get new gold cards because my name and membership date are almost rubbed off???

Finally !!!  Better late than never, eh?

Now It's on Oct 4.

Why do I am still a Welcome Level,not a Green Level member????

I saw this news and registered my Starbucks Card before October 4.

Thank you for your answer!!

Stars for drinks, not transactions- the loyalty program is really idiotic. Instead of buying four drinks at the same time I would have to order each drink separately  just to earn more stars.

Also, you would have to first order thirty drinks to get to gold level, and then order fifteen before getting a free drink. Espresso House, one of your competitors in Northern Europe, offers 10 % off on all drinks consumed on premises and 20% off on take away (the card is free of charge if you load it with 25 CAD). Also, most other coffee chains with loyalty programs in Northern Europe offer free drinks after six-seven drinks. No wonder there is no Starbucks in Sweden.

There's still no change in my membership level, and it is already the 6th. Why is this change so hard to program into the website?

I feel that it would be better to award stars based on amount spent rather than just on a per use basis.  I often spend more than just a beverage with my purchases and it seems like I almost get penalized for spending more if it's on a per use basis.

Maybe a per use basis would work for an initial purchase and then a star can be award for maybe every $5 spent over $5 (or whatever the average initial spending amount is for customers).  That would encourage users to use their cards more rather than potentially initiating multiple purchases to try and maximize the number of stars they can gain.  It'd save time and money per transaction for both the customers and the baristas.

I'm sure I could think this out better but this was just off the top of my head and I've encountered this issue quite a bit over the last couple of days!

javagraba.com makes very cool "Canada Maple Leaf" coffee sleeves that come in different shapes and are fully re-useable. The upc codes for starbucks cards could also be attached to these sleeves so that it could be used in the same manner as the current credit card style cards. These could be used to help support Canadian athletes in the next Olympics, and what a better place to start this than Calgary! www.javagraba.com has more info.

I have a Starbucks gold card in the U.S. but I am moving to Canada soon. Can I "transfer" that card to Canada?

We’ve crossed another milestone. Thanks to all the ideas, votes and comments from the My Starbucks
