Starbucks Odyssey got me to try out an Oleato drink in the name of getting bonus points in case the Delta GCs ever reappear.
I was not impressed. It wasn’t horrible, but then I used a straw so I could drink my shaken oat milk thing from underneath the ‘golden foam’.

I tried one of the hot Oleato drinks for the same reason and wasn't impressed either.

I decided to try it. They just put the drink in a regular cup, so it was kind of pointless. I imagine it depends on who is handling the mobile orders.

Thanks for the information. I primarily use the refill option for the 25 extra stars per refill cup. Also, the lockable mugs make boarding easier,

Oh, I didnt know about that. How does it work? So if I bring my own reusable cup...does it have to be a Starbucks cup? What if it is larger than their standard venti size?

I have only used the standard Starbucks sized cups (hot or cold) for the 10 cent discount which is required to receive the 25 star bonus. The in app refill discount was added this year. If the discount isn’t applied at the register, request the refill discount.
My wife ordered a tall mocha which was waiting in an insulated tumbler. The barista warmed her grande mug and included the extra mocha in her mug. My brewed coffee was poured directly into the mug.
