It's been awhile since i've made a Starbucks post. Not much at Starbucks thrills me these days, but just today i discovered something awesome at the store and thought that you should be informed. I came across a new Starbucks card that we have. Called a Starbucks RED Card.
Every time you use your (STARBUCKS)RED Card to pay for purchases at participating Starbucks stores between 1/3/09 and 12/31/09 (the entire year of 2009!!), Starbucks will donate 5 cents to the Global Fund to help save lives in Africa.
How awesome! I know that I've posted before about Starbucks RED Campaign and about all of the awesome benefits of now having a Starbucks card. Just a refresher:
When you make any purchases with a registered Starbucks card, you will get:
-free syrups and specialty milks (soy, etc...)And don't forget the idea that having this card will help you to budget your purchases.
-a free tall beverage with purchase of 1lb of whole beans
-2 free hours of wi-fi every day
-free refills of coffee when you're chillin in the cafe'
I got a few Starbucks cards as gifts for Christmas so i loaded the amounts of them both on a new Starbucks RED card and registered it online today. I usually spend about a dollar every day that i'm working at starbucks - so now, 5 cents of each purchase goes to the Golbal Fund. That's pretty cool. It's not like i'm BUYING the card - all the money i put on there goes directly back into my purchases.
So, why not?
That's awesome! I'm totally obsessed with london fog latte's right now, so I'll have to check it out!
ReplyDeleteAt first I was like, "WHAT?!?!, Why would someone get a girl that works at Starbucks a Starbucks card, isn't that kind of dumb?!?!" But then when I kept reading I realized that you probably pay for part of your drinks while you work. Can you load one card onto a different card for free?
ReplyDeleteyeah, i actually do get free drinks while at work, but i stop by often on my days off and during my lunch i always buy a sandwich or something and landon likes me to bring him home a yummy pastry, so i do spend some mullah there. and you CAN load old cards onto a new card for free - no prob!
ReplyDeletewe are so ahead of the game...been using our red card for a week:)
