In participating stores, buy a £10 gift card and get a free tall Christmas drink (Eggnog latte etc). You then add the gift card to your app and transfer the balance.
= 2 free drinks for £20 spend (obviously limited to only Christmas drinks). Ends Xmas eve.
You also walk out with your drink rather than waiting 7 days for a voucher!

Does this work for everyone, or only people who were sent the email?
I got the email saying I can get a free bakery item, but not this one.

I received two emails, one for free bakery and another one for free drink when topping-up £20.

I've received an email for free bakery item too. Now wondering whether topping up via topcashback oncard offer will work.... They give 25% cashback when you register your mastercard with them and enable oncard offer.

I wouldn't have agreed in the slightest with this comment a year ago, subjective I know, but anyone else finding their coffee has gone downhill in the past 12 months? Maybe change of roasting process or shot size? I've found this in several London shops.

This is card specific, different emails sent to different cards. Ours was free bakery which was sent incorrectly was supposed to be for new cards only but later changed and auto top up and get free stars.

Voted cold. Support your local coffee maker or Costa (British owned).

What he said. We all pay our taxes. This mob can too.

I would argue that Starbucks sells an image first and coffee second

Which might be true but you cannot sell millions of cups without doing something right and selling bad coffee wouldn't have got them to where they are today. What you have to concede is that everyone tastes are different it's as simple as that but oddly the coffee moaners don't moan on Branston bean threads. :smiley:

Not sure how it works. Topped up £20 yesterday and had a drink. Will it get re-credited back onto account?
