The perfesser like his trenta iced teas so I guess that’s what I use stars for now. So in some ways, not a horrible change for our household- just have to switch up cash vs. award redemption a little.

My remaining star balance is below any redemption level. The balance will stay low. My last visits have been for the 25 star bonus for using a refill mug which has been devalued from buy 2 get 1 free to buy 4 get 1 free.

Starbucks making a big deal out of adding olive oil to coffee/espresso drinks. New olive oil drinks launch tomorrow in Italy, coming soon to the US.

Has anyone ever said their latte is almost perfect but just missing olive oil?

It’s probably their response to that silly keto thing where people put butter in their coffee.

That is exactly what I was going to say. I heard someone asking for Kerry Gold butter for their coffee at SBUX last week. The barista was definitely confused.

Are you able to log in and play while outside of USA (or do I need a VPN to play?)? My account is a US account so not sure why it won't even let me sign in

Starbucks Summer Game started on Monday. The free entry method requires you to answer 3 questions and to watch the video for each entry. I have won 10 stars. This maybe the most annoying game

Lucky for you that you're playing in USA, US-based members traveling abroad can't log in to play at all. So silly.

A confusing and overly complex game.

Past games have been location restricted. I used a VPN to play the game from Germany

Not much to like, but able to pick up 15 stars with little effort.
