Let's face it, money runs the world. So when an opportunity comes to get things free we go grab it by the throat and not let go.
So long as there's no catch right?
RIGHT!
Starbucks ain't the best place for coffee(depending on where you live) but they do make above average drinks, pastries and services right?
Here's my tip on how to get those two FREE drinks.
Step 1
Order at least 300php (6$) Worth in one transaction
Alright, before you dismiss me as a scam, hear me out. Always remember that magic number, 300php/6$ because that will automatically grant you a free Starbucks card! Most baristas won't even mention that and people who buy over that amount are oblivious to it.
Step 2
Register your card online
You've probably heard of the Starbucks card so what's new? Did you know there's not limit to them? it's not tied to an individual so you can have as many as you want. So what? well it means you're getting one FREE drink from just registering. You can register your card here http://www.starbucks.ph/
Step 3
Be sure to set your fake birthday at your desired date
So you got 1 Free drink from registering right? well, you can have TWO if you avail it on your birthday or a day after your birthday. So you can set your birthday at your desired date(when you're making your thesis or whatever) and voila! One more free drink.
Step 4
Give the barista your poker face
Show the card that you've registered online, and he'll notice that it's your birthday!! so much wow, stay calm and act normal HAHA He'll offer you 2 free drinks (you can avail the other one at a later date if you wish)
Step 5
Upsize your drink for more power!
Upsizing costs around 15PHP or a fraction of a dollar, which normally would range from 30-50PHP/1$ so take advantage of this!
Step 6
Starbucks Hack: LONGSHOT
Be sure to tell the barista you want a long shot, basically they'll add more coffee in your drink if it's a frap and we all want that right? Other coffee shops charge you for that, in Starbucks its free and it will change how you look at fraps forever!
Step 7
Rinse and repeat
That's it! There's no limit to this and you can even collect the cards! so for the price of 300PHP/6$ you could potentially get 4 drinks. That's way cheaper than most local coffee shops offer and you got the Starbucks taste and ambiance to boot! :)
Thank me later!
