Sept 8-14: 25% off lunch item for Starbucks Rewards members

If you are a Starbucks rewards member, check your email or your app inbox. There’s a new promotion circulating for their Rewards members that gets you 25% off the purchase of any lunch item. There is a promo code for this offer (2281) which you have to show the barista. This offer can only be used once during the promotional period of September 8-14 in 2015.

Eagle eyed readers may have noticed something off with the above screenshot. Yes, *spoiler alert*, they mistyped “lunch” as “luch”. Which humanizes Starbucks, they are not a giant coffee robot after all 🙂

Which of the Starbucks Sandwiches are Breakfast and which are Lunch?
One thing to pay attention to: the sandwiches offered by Starbucks are divided in breakfast and lunch. Some of the sandwiches (eg the English muffin sandwiches) are considered breakfast items and I believe are not eligible for this promotion. Most of the other items are eligible though, salads, bistro boxes, paninis, wraps, and …non-breakfast sandwiches.

Their new Android app is now updated with Material Design and they added the Food Menus (with calorie information *don’t look!*) in one of the main app-menu options. (This is just the beginning as Starbucks has plans to load and bloat the app with all kinds of third-party offers and digital content 🙂

The Food Menu in the new app can help you sort out the breakfast vs lunch confusion. The breakfast sandwiches are under the “Hot Breakfast” sub-category under Food, while the lunch sandwiches are under the “Sandwiches, Salads & Wraps” sub-category.
