Brew your own Bliss 

On the second day of Starbucks 12 Days of Bonus Stars (December 5th) you will receive either 3, 5, or 8  Bonus Stars with the purchase of any Christmas Blend Coffee. The coffee must be purchased in a stand-alone Starbucks store using your phone app. I happen to love the Christmas Blend coffee so this one is a no brainer for me.

The only issue I am having is that I have to drive 40 miles roundtrip in order to access my nearest stand-alone establishment.  Yes, we do have a Starbucks in our small town but it is located within a Kroger grocery store.  I called today to see if they were participating in the promotions and was told that they could not. Not that they chose not to… but ‘could not’ because Kroger will not purchase the app scanner. I see a mission in my life now.

At any rate, make sure that you are using your app for all of your purchases. The offer I received was:

Have you registered your Starbucks card? Don’t forget… in order to receive the bonus stars, you must pay with your registered Starbucks card or app.  If you haven’t downloaded the app yet, it is available for the iPhone (in iTunes) and for Android  (at Google Play).

Also if you live in Southern California, check your local store to see if they are having a sale. Some stores are actually offering a $5.00 gift card with the purchase of two half pound bags of Christmas Blend.
