Who doesn’t love Starbucks!! I wish they give you a week to enjoy your birthday drink!!
Ehhh 🫠 I use my points for cups because I’m too cheap otherwise 😅.
Guess I have to start remembering to take my resusable cup!
I do not like the changes
That’s sucks
So bummed about this, I’m going to start going less I think because of this.
on no must keep my granddaughter out of Starbucks until this cup is sold out LOL
I’m still mad about this, for 150 you can to spend about $20.. however if you bring your own cup then you get 25 extra stars each time!
Here is the update
Well that’s a bummer. I didn’t know about the changes. The price of my drink seems to be increasing every other time I go.
