I was ordering a Starbucks drink ahead and t came to a grand total of £0, not sure why but it only works with java chip LIGHT in a VENTI size when you order ahead. Must be a glitch in the system.

Have had five now in 3 different branches in couldn't two just now at Manchester Piccadilly station 24hour branch. Lucky in Manchester nearly all the five million branches in City centre are doing it. In Leeds only the two in the railway station are. When you arrive they're waiting at end of counter with printed stickers with your name as it is in your app account. Just take them.

I tried it on my phone and it works as well! Not sure that I won't be paying anything for this drink. Very intrigue indeed. You can customized according to your taste as well and it is still showing nil.

just tested here too - showing £0.00. i'm just not sure it won't take a charge off me.

I was also getting charged £1 when I customised it by adding topping and syrup. I removed those and it became free again.

Using the starbucks app you use their newest feature of ordering ahead where you put what you want in and pay in advance. It will be ready for you to pick up when you get to your selected store

You can change the mocha sauce in it to white mocha sauce for a change (nice even if you don't normally like white chocolate). I also reduce the pumps of syrups now to make it less sickly (and a bit healthier). Still free with the mods, ordering one now.

Didn't want to miss it before it went :wink: Besides, it's not so bad when there's a Starbucks 4 minutes from your front door.

You do indeed get a star so make sure for every two you get you set up a new account, as 13 bonus stars are still being given out on new accounts. So for every 2 of these freebies you get, you get a free drink of anything to use within a month so save those for when this ends.

Just picked up another two. I am getting concern if this keeps going on, I will be a fat boy.
