Everyone had their morning doze yet?

Got a question. If my transaction amount is RM10, and I pay with Card A RM2 and Card B RM8, where does the drink point goes?

I believe the last card used in the transaction will get the Reward Tracker

The point/tracker/reward goes to the last card swipe in the machine

Congrats on V2 thread!

Noted with thank!

How does this RM2 per transaction work out? What drink can you buy for RM2 at Starbucks?

Good card..alwayz using it ^^

You charge RM2 to the Starbucks Card only, the balance pay by cash/credit card

Wah.

Even Starbucks thread got v2 already. Lol. Bravo

ronnie
May I suggest in first post under tips and tricks.

Agreed...
Yesterday filled up My grande tumbler with Java Chips, I seen so many Leftover, What a Waste...
So, I need to a New Tumbler... Venti size now

Errr... tumpang tanya what the Price of a (cheapest) Venti Tumbler ???

Venti Frappucino tumbler : RM52

Tq, Ronnie...
Btw, I will Redeem My Birthday Cake this Month, pls Recommend Which Cake yang Paling Sedap...

I personally choose the Espresso Tiramisu or Marble Cheesecake.

TQ... will get it in 2 weeks

Noted. But it seems weird to pay only rm2 with a card that have enough balance to pay for the bill.

Weird yes... but why not ?
Nevertheless, I no longer employ this method as I feel getting new cards has better "perceived value" than "Buy 10, Free 1"
Most of the Barista don't know how to deduct just RM2 from the system (or maybe their system no longer allows it)

Awesome deal man, i got my free food item when i reload my Starbucks card via my ATM card... hehehhehe Kudos Starbucks for this wonderful promo~~~

wow...V2 already? i'm getting old

what is the min amount to reload if using the ATM to entitled the promo?

Did you read the promo poster image ?

Its RM100

Great thread! just found out. may i ask, what is the meaning of this

"Best way to utilise your Starbucks card RM20 x 3
With a Starbucks Card at RM60, you can
- get RM3 back (from 5% Cash-back Rebate using Maybankard 2 AMEX or OCBC Titanium MasterCard)
- get 3 Free Grande-size handcrafted beverage, upon card activation
- get 1 Free slice of cake
- get 1 Free Grande-size handcrafted beverage, when buying a Starbucks Tumbler using Starbucks Card
- get 16oz Starbucks Tumbler @ RM48
- get RM12 balance for the next Starbucks drink you buy (additional top-up with cash/CC)
Total Discount Value : 119.8%"

is that getting 3 card?

"Get a free food item* when you use your ATM card to load OR reload RM100 into your starbucks card"

It stated as OR. So for the part of "when you use your ATM card to load" it didn't stated that you need to load for an amount of RM100. So my understanding is the amount can be any amount as long as u are using ATM card etc. Or you can reload RM100 into your starbucks card using cash/credit card etc and still entitled for the said promo. That is why I'm asking. The promo advertisement is kind of confusing (atleast to me).

Thanks anyway for all feedback.

wah, not worth it. It's better that we just buy RM20 x 5 starbucks card using credit card, then we get the 5 free drink upon registration and 5 birthday cakes. In addition, we can accumulate the point on credit card

Which outlet you can deduct RM2 from the card then balance pay by cash? I have tried many outlet, they only let me deduct all the value in the card, then balance pay by cash.

Not really man. It's better that we just buy RM20 x 5 starbucks card using credit card, then we get the 5 free drink upon registration and 5 birthday cakes. In addition, we can accumulate the point on credit card

I hope you win your "argument" based the English dependency when you are at the Starbucks Outlet.

It's suppose to read in this manner "Get a free food item* when you use your ATM card to, load OR reload, RM100 into your starbucks card"

Yes, sir. I do that everytime as well.

Great tips to share

yes. Starbucks now selling minimum top up rm20 for new cards.

Hi , Can I know how long it take for registration to entitled 1 free drink?
Let say I registered 19-oct, 12pm immediately after purchased, will I entitled a free drink immediately? If not, how many hours after that?

Immediately after you register successfully

Almost immediately on successful registration online
The delay is probably the email verification in STep 1 of the registration.

Taken from Starbucks FB

Treat your plant to some coffee grounds! Did you know that, coffee grounds contain useful amounts of phosphorus and potassium, which are a low-level source of nitrogen and also contain minor amounts of calcium, magnesium, copper, and other trace minerals, carbohydrates, sugars, some vitamins, and some caffeine?



Anyone here got collect the coffee ground from Starbucks?

one of the reply in FB

I'm a regular collector of this fertiliser. It makes my garden and my plants really healthy and growing fast. My advise is to mix one box with 20L of water and spray or spread on the soil. First you get a healthier soil and second you can smell coffee whenever you pass by or better when it rains. In my case after passing by..I run to starbucks to get my expresso macchiato. .hihihi..

I had RM10 in my Starbucks Card.
Purchased a drink Ice Passion Lemon Tea for RM11.15. Balance paid in cash. The system did not put the Cake Slice reward after 24 hours.

I made a call to Starbucks CS and they told me I need to paid fully the drink with my Starbucks Card only entitle to Cake Slice.

I've escalated it to their manager and expect a call back by today.

Another tips to share (well it's not really a tips, but more like a reminder).

If you're in big malls that have Borders store with Starbucks (The Curve & The Gardens, Midvalley), you can get 10% off for drinks if you present your Borders member card.

Pay with your Starbucks card + additional 10% off, it's a bargain rather than purchasing the drink outside Borders.

For example, if you go to Midvalley, there are 3 Starbucks outlets there, and one of them is inside the Borders. Purchase your drink there with Borders card and it's a real bargain.

To add on to the comment above on the Border, there's actually a few Wismas around KL that gives 10% - 15% when you buy.

Though they said you must be working in the building itself, but the barista don't really check

Thanks for sharing

I actually saw there are a few Wisma in KL that has Starbucks. I'm guessing almost all of them have staff discount. Next time you spot one, maybe can try asking. No harm asking also

Do we have to redeem the free drink on the spot when we purchase the tumbler or can we redeem the next visit?

Valid for 100 days for the free drink

Okay. Thanks.

Overheard from barista that, in conjunction with Christmas season, new card design and 2014 planner will be out on November 15.

So, hold on until then if you are planning to reload your card.

Hope the design is nice

Currently my primary card is the Malaysia anniversary edition.

oh oh ... change in rules ?
What's the outcome ?

The reward was given to me automatically after 2 days and on the last day of October.
I believe the CS's statement is incorrect. Maybe the Ice Shaken Tea is not updated to give the cake slice automatically.

how to order starbuck secret drink in malaysia?

If it's a secret, you need to know how to order it "secretly"

Is there such a drink ?

http://starbuckssecretmenu.net/

Then just order like what was recommended by the website lah

did any of you guys try before?

looks like the free food item with $100 reload is also valid using cimb debit mastercard.the catch is have to keyin PIN during payment

Just want to share, I am now in tokyo. Been using my malaysia tumbler for the past few days and still can get discount. Never thought it can be use outside malaysia.

Impossible. I tried many times with balance paid by cash, still got the rewards unless they changed the system

Most probably they suspected the multiple account with same IP address with different card registration

Their IT team is getting smarter ? But my registration is never 2 cards at the same time.

If i have more than RM20 balance in a card, can i use it to buy a new card?

or buy a new card and then transfer the balance over?

I mean buy a new card and open a new account.

I wondering whether did I see wrongly...now Starbucks doesn't offer tall size anymore?

left Grande & Venti option...

You mean the Menu on the wall no longer shows Tall beverages ???

yeah...

Lol! You guys really can think.... lol... thinking of a way to make starbucks bankrupt ar? Haha

Mine here still offers tall. Didn't hear any official news regarding removing tall size?

Only in Genting? Other places have this offer? Haven't heard of this yet.

i used my tumbler in australia & singapore starbucks once as well,think its 30-50cents discount.think no other place is more generous than malaysia starbucks giving RM$2 discount.singapore only give 50cents discount

You didn't multiply SGD0.50 x 2.6 = RM1.30

If I use an unregistered new card to buy a drink, then the next day only I register the card with the birthday this month, will the free cake still be entitled? Or have to register bday first only buy drink?

event after multiply still less than RM$2.

Untested .... but I wouldn't risk it.

Oke, I'll test it when got chance. If it works then its easier to plan for the free cake.

It will be paying the drink with card first, then register, and revisit in the same month to redeem both the welcome drink and free cake.

Will wait for your report and post as Tips & Tricks

nobody mention about the 3 new starbucks card ?

design can check at their fb

Cannot la...

Tested before?

if not mistaken last few months only.

coz without ur profile inside the card...

Well, I've bought a drink with a new card today... after come back only I register it.
The drink that I bought havent updated in the system as well. So let's see how's the mechanism work.

How many cards are we allowed to add into 1 account?

max 5

Got my 1st FOC beverage from Starbucks card.

Also noticed that they have changed their CC terminal from AmBank to AMEX.

Bought 1 pack of 250g Starbucks Dark Roast Christmas Blend (20 | 13) grind to espresso.

I understand that we can use up to 5 cards per transaction but I was wondering how many cards we are allowed to add into 1 account. Could not find it anywhere in the FAQ.

no no... i called their customers service. they told me so.
may be someone can try call again?

Saw my payment slip with huge AMEX logo when I signed today.... Got my first out of 3 Starbucks Card X'mas design

i have a smaller size card but recently i want to get a new one,becoz the size is too hard to manage and keep..
wanted to get new one but dont wish to change the email/missed the free drinks upon register
is there any way i can use back the old email but still getting the drinks?

You cannot use old email to get free NEW REGISTRATION drink

A question. What kind of 'food' I need to buy in order to get a star for the Food tracker? I have bought slices of cakes and rolls before and didn't get the stars

What is the current promotion now?

10x beverages ---> FOC 1 beverage
10x beans ---> FOC 1 bean (?)
10x slices of cake ---> FOC 1 slice
Birthday ---> Gift 1 slice (?)

Some branches starts to introduce new food menu like spaghetti and etc. I guess it may refer to those rather than cakes, rolls, breads, pastries and etc.

pie, donut, etc...

any news on the coming planner?
