most drinks are not under $3.00 I worked for Starbucks for two years. The other savings are true though

Visit a store and load one up with money. In uk the minimum is £2 (the price of a tall latte). You receive the rewards when you register your card, online or by calling the number on the back of your card.

ok im an employee of starbucks

first a registered starbucks card can only get free refills on hot brewed coffee and iced coffee

second V.I.A is a ready brew packet of coffee that dissolves in 8 oz of hot or cold water it was released in certain areas but not nationally till september 29

and third if you really want to save money their are different ways to order your drink it works for any off them but since i work for the company ill let you figure that out your self

Wow. Those are lame suggestions. Here are my alternatives:

1. Instead of ordering an iced latte on an infernally hot summer day, go for an iced coffee and add copious dashes of milk. You just saved over a dollar.

2. Forget the orange, mocha, toffee laden something-chino, and try a regular latte with a syrup. You just saved 200 calories and about 50 cents.

3. If you're in a touristy area and the line up is long and disorderly, take someone else's drink and walk awya casually but briskly
