Starbucks Gold Card update- rewards program no longer offers modifiers

I am so glad to leave Seattle on the 16 October. Starbucks just announced that they will drop free drink modifiers from it's starbucks rewards program!!

There is no longer an incentive to drink starbucks. Hello other coffee shops!

We've got a few My Starbucks Rewards™ updates coming on October 16. Here's a quick summary of what to expect as a Gold level member.

HELLO faster, tastier rewards. Free Drink (or Food) Now you can use your "free drink" on food too. Whatever looks delicious.** Lucky Dozen Earn a free drink (or food) every 12 Stars instead of 15. Watch 'em roll in even faster. Keep your Gold benefits This hasn't changed: earn 30 Stars every year as a Gold level member and you're Gold for another year. Just like that. No More Postcards (#1 member-requested change) Your free drink (or food) will load right onto your Starbucks Card account. You'll receive an email alert when you've earned your reward. Just bring your registered Starbucks Card or the Starbucks Card mobile app to a participating store and tell your barista. To learn more about redeeming postcards and digital rewards visit Starbucks.com/rewardsfaster.

GOODBYE to the benefits going away. Soy & Syrup Unfortunately, we will no longer offer syrups and soymilk on the house. Tall Drink with Whole Bean Purchase We also will no longer offer a free tall drink when you buy a pound of coffee.
