It looks like Starbucks was prepared with some damage control measures to counter the disappointment by many regular customers over the new Rewards program that favors big spenders instead of frequent visitors. So the new balm Starbucks is trying is FREE GOLD for everyone 🙂
Well, not actual gold, but Gold membership in their Rewards program. If you are a Green level reward member and you make at least one purchase by 5/2/16, you will get one year of Gold membership status. Your free upgrade will be reflected within 48 hours of purchase.
On the other hand, if you are an existing Gold member, you will get an additional year added to your account. This change will take place after May 2nd, as Gold members are in no danger of losing benefits shortly (unless you happen to fall into this tiny window).
As usual, for all Rewards related purposes, you have to pay using the Starbucks app or a Starbucks gift card that is registered under your Rewards account. This goes without saying for all Rewards-related posts, I don’t want to repeat the whole thing every time 🙂
