-If you didn't know by now, Starbucks has come out with a mobile app which allows you to purchase drinks ahead of time and gain reward stars. To gain reward stars, you must make your Starbucks purchase with your phone. If you are afraid to link your card to your cell phone, Starbucks offers an alternative. You can purchase a gift card and upload the gift card onto your phone. When you run out of money on your gift card, you can go back into starbucks and refill it, with as much or as little as you want.
Step 2:Reach Green Level Status
-While this sounds expensive, Starbucks makes it really easy for members to earn free drinks and achieve Green Level status. Starbucks rewards has 2 levels Green Level status which is 0-299 reward stars earned and Gold Level status which is 300+ reward stars. When you first register for the mobile app, everybody starts off at Green Level status. Part of the benefits that come with just having the mobile app are free in store refills. What this means is that you can get free refills for any handshakes teavana drink or any plain coffee drink order.
Step 3:Learn How to Smartly Abuse the System
-Unfortunately, Starbucks has a in-store refill policy only, which pretty much means that they will only give you a free refill with the app if you stay in store. But a majority of Starbucks employee's don't care about that rule. They DO NOT have the time to make sure you stayed in the store for a refill. So, if you leave Starbucks and come back in store to grab a refill. Make it look like you know how the system works.
1. Look busy on your phone like your doing work.
2. When you ask for a refill, ask with confidence. Ask like you have done this before and know exactly how this works
Step 4: ENJOY YOUR FREE REFILL!!!!!
As a college student I love anything that has the word, free, cancelled and food. And your post combined both free and food (okay drink) i love teavana teas and havent had them in forever, thank you for reminding me of this cool hack!
