Will do. I suspect I've already qualified within the last week if that's all it takes.

Funny thing - whenever I'm out of the Bay Area, everyone always comments on my Golden Gate Starbucks card. I feel so special.

I didn't until the most recent upgrade.

I'm just annoyed that it always alerts me to leave a tip and then I have to swipe the alert away.

Got an email tonight that frappe happy hour starts early tomorrow for SBUX members! Yay, 50% off my delicious but calorie laden beverages.

I have one with London on mine and get the same when I am in the US. I must look out for a GG one next time I am over. Although I cannot be bothered to ask the Googletron I am sure that there are people collecting these and selling them on a well known auction site.

It actually has "SAN FRANCISCO" on it with the picture of the Golden Gate. I see them around for sale occasional at Starbucks here.

If you're interested, I could look for one to send to you.

That would be great if you happen to see one, don't spend money on it though! I can get it sent to a CA address too. I will have a look out for the ones here and if there is anything good, grab them and post back here and if people want them I will post them.

Received an email that if I sign up for Spotify Premium, I'll receive 125 stars.

Spotify Premium gives you ad-free
access to millions of songs. Just search
for the music you love and hit play.

As a Starbucks Rewards™ member, you're
eligible for a very special offer: 125 Stars as a bonus when you sign up for three free months of Spotify Premium by May 15th.*
It lists what I assume is a one-time use code, and indicates that they will email me a star code if I sign up.

I got the same thing, as did Mother Krazykanuck, according to my chat with her. I'm just slightly peeved that it excludes prior Spotify Premium subscribers, since thats the category I fall into. Will probably try to register anyway..

Gold banner reads "you have multiple star rewards" when I reached 250 stars.

Drip coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon/evenings. So the new system is terrible for me.
