I have to confess…\u00a0\"Starbucks<\/a><\/h1>\n

…..I am a Starbucks Star Collector.<\/h2>\n

Anytime there is a promotion which offers Bonus Stars, I sign up and then just hope I can find myself in a city with a real Starbucks store. Alas, in my small town we only have one and it\u00a0is located in a local grocery store. \u00a0As it is not a stand-alone store, it typically does not participate in promotions.<\/p>\n

Believe it or not, there are those individuals who do not know about the Bonus Stars program with Starbucks. I was talking with someone today and when I began talking about earning Stars and how one could do so quite easily, she replied with “No wonder my friend is always willing to use her app to pay for my drink!” Hopefully after we chatted, she will now be earning her own stars and her own free drinks from Starbucks!<\/p>\n

For several years, Starbucks ran a special 12 Days of Christmas promotion offering where the company rewarded coffee drinkers for their patronage and loyalty all year long by offering fun \u00a0gifts and deals every day for\u00a012 days in\u00a0December.\"Starbucks-12-days-of-Giving-550x267\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, in 2013, the unthinkable happened. \u00a0Starbucksters<\/em> learned that there would be no special 12 Days of ChristmasDeal of the Day. Instead, coffee lovers were only offered two special Christmas deals each week instead of the daily deals as in past years.<\/p>\n

This year, it looks as though Starbucks is going to run its 12 Days of Christmas again with the focus this year on earning Bonus Stars. \u00a0I received an email offering me bonus stars for purchasing one of the new Winter Drinks (my favorite is the Cr\u00e8me Br\u00fbl\u00e9e<\/em>\u00a0Latte). At the bottom of the email was this\u00a0graphic:<\/p>\n

I am not sure if this is targeted, but I would think that it will be available to everyone who is registered and\/or uses the Starbucks App. The app also works for purchases at Teavana Stores and you can earn Teavana Rewards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I know not everyone uses the Starbucks app because I still see individuals pull out a Starbucks card to pay for their purchases. \u00a0If you haven’t downloaded it yet,\u00a0the app is available for the iPhone (in iTunes<\/a><\/strong>) and for Android \u00a0(at\u00a0Google Play<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n

With the app you can:<\/strong><\/p>\n
