Complimentary Beverage Drink from Starbucks
We won (that’s how they said it at Starbucks) a complimentary beverage drink when we visited them early evening last Christmas eve. It must be their Christmas treat to a few loyal customers.
We were lucky we went to SB for coffee while waiting for my friend who we were to meet there for a short meet-up. She was somewhere in the mall that time doing some last minute Christmas shopping and looking for leather briefcases which at first I thought would be a gift to her dad but as it turns out she needed one to bring and use for her official trips as part of her field work since her work requires her to travel and do some inspections several times in a month. A briefcase I once saw while doing some online window shopping would be great for her to use with her field work with a lot of documents she had to bring along just in case she could not find one what she wanted anywhere within the mall.
Well actually in order to claim this free drink, I had to visit a Starbucks site and answer their online survey. It was just an easy survey. After I answered that, we were able to claim the free coffee yesterday which is exactly New Year’s day. I hope this would become like a tradition whole year long that we do get a free coffee drink from Starbucks! Lucky are we if that would actually come true!
Anyway, we only got a tall size free drink but the barista at the register told us that we can upgrade to venti size by just paying P30. I went for it thinking it’s like having my fave Starbucks hot peppermint mocha in venti size for just 30 bucks. That’s a great new year’s treat already. Hubby and I can share with it since I cannot have too much coffee anymore after all those coffee I had to drink over the holidays after getting my Starbucks and The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf 2012 planners. Speaking of my Starbucks planner, I claimed it also yesterday and it’s like another new year’s gift for myself. I have to thank two friends way back in college and their hubbies (these couples are vacationing from Singapore and Nigeria) for giving me four stickers when I met them by surprise at Starbucks a night before Christmas eve. That saved me four drinks… thank you my friends!
Yesterday hubby and I are simply grateful for this holiday treat! Thank you Starbucks! We surely want to win another complimentary Starbucks beverage again soon!
