I love this deal, I bring in my reusable cup all of the time for extra points
This very disappointing because my 50 points coffee is now 200, & if I buy it it’s $7.50? Changing to McDonald’s.
Wow that sucks
That’s horrible… especially when they know that they’re competition is increasing. Glad I purchased the vertuo pods deal last week, thanks again girly 💕
You are so welcome Leslie!
Start the rioting
Coffee+shopping= my happy place
Thank you for keeping us updated on the best deals 🙃 I tell everyone about your IG page!!!
You’re most welcome! Thanks for being here and sharing!
this is so disappointing. I feel like we are being penalized cause we have been using the app for so long.
I will have to make sure I use my app for every purchase
Kind of disappointed with the changes, but also understand where they are coming from.
