I was annoyed enough to write all of this up. I used to go regularly, and the rewards program was genuinely a good deal, and made it worth going to Starbucks. Now, even if I set aside all of the horrible things they’re doing, I wanted to show just what an absolute shit program this is, and why there is absolutely no use in trying to “gain starbucks status”.
It’s tough because corp people that I have worked with congrats with Starbucks gift cards. They ignore everything else. I just have to smile and say thanks, 😂
