I think the Code 2012 is expired as it was day specific (I used it)...

There was a post on it too:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/free-bakery-item-starbucks-with-starbucks-rewards-update-actually-now-2-free-bakery-2353572

no I used it today I think it expires on 2nd jan 2016. I will call customer care and ask.

When you add the card on your app it pops up. If someone does it kindly post a photo for us.

£10 is only 2 coffees though isn't it? :wink:

must be dumb but I can't see where you enter the discount code. do you do it on the app or website. I've tried both.

Top up £10 to receive an instant tall drink, once you register you will be sent a voucher code for you free bakery item. If you top
up by £20 you will also be sent another voucher code for a free drink. After 2pm you can get any grande drink for £2 if you are paying with a Starbucks card up until 1st Jan 16.... I work for a Starbucks. It's all very confusing

which stores do the offer?

any that accept Starbucks cards. Some franchises don't but most do now, so you would have to check with the individual store

activate a new card in store and register online, or In store or online with an existing card I believe... and yes with the app too

You tell the person in store the code.

how did you guys find out about the gift card offer, was there an email sent about it?

Thanks

thank you x

I'm confused. :confused:

Have bought a Starbucks gift card to take advantage of the recent Nationwide Rewards offer.

Now have I bought a gift card or the card people use for loading up or are they one and the same?

If I create an account and use the app on my phone does that mean I don't use the card anymore?

Please someone explain to a simpleton like me.

​thank you

Johnny, they are one and the same. You can STILL use the plastic card if you like (say to help if phone had died for example).

You can load up the card online (not on the app) to your account, or create account if you don't have one. The Balance of the card will go into your App once you have signed in on your phone. IF you already have another card (suspect you don't but others may), then to go into that card and move balance (unless you do want multiple cards, I prefer not to), Click Pay then go to the card that you have just loaded (topped up). Then click Manage and Transfer Balance to your Main Card. You can delete the card then from your account to make life easy.

Simples:p

Thank you PowickAV for taking the time to explain. I think I understand so I'll give it a go and see. I have enjoyed the odd SB and Costa along the way but not too frequently as I'm trying to watch the waistline. It's just my daughter has started to take a liking to them so I'm thinking the NW offer and the bonus cups and cakes along the way will help save the pennies.

If you add the card to an existing account you will not get the free bakery item. It is for new registered accounts only, no good if you collect stars.

There was a 2012 code for all starbucks customers as an apology for sending a welcome email out to all custo.ers instead of the new ones only.

Also the free tall drink with a £10 Gift card was posted by me last week or the week before.

i added the card to my existing account and got the free bakery item.

It's only allowing me to top up in dollars? Can I put in $10 or does it have to be £10?

You can also use the Nationwide Cashback offer to get 50% back off a max £15 spend. So technically you can get a £10 card plus a drink and a cake for £5! THATS A HOT DEAL!

I topped up £10 last week on the app and didn't get anything!

Depending on how thrifty you are, in theory you could buy the credit, get the freebie and then request the cash on the card to be paid back into your bank account:

So I can get a grande frap for £2 after 2pm that's a great deal !!!

I recently lost all my stars as I hadn't earned enough to stay gold!

This from the company renowned for exploiting tax loopholes, good luck with that

PowickAV thanks for the explanation, I was feeling quite short changed.

The cake is a lie. Cold.

Still bit confused, got given the card instore yday, so if I register it and top up £15 using nationwide card, I'll get £7-50 cash back,the free drink and cake?

Only valid in GB so excludes Northern Ireland. Tried it in Derry yesterday and was told it was GB only.

Quite right. Maybe Starbucks have even more special deals with the porcine contingent at Westminster.

anyone know if you have to register for the nationwide rewards??

For Science

Here's a better deal - support your local non-chain coffee shop instead of one of these damned chains.

OR, buy a really good coffee from the supermarket and make your own to take to work in an insulated mug.

If it costs £10 for 3 coffees or 2 Christmas coffees, you people must have more money than sense!

*not really, but you get the idea...

Avoid Starbucks if you use the NHS or your children go to a state school.
