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?

Noted with thank!

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

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

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

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?

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.

Tested before?

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.

Yes... all 3 designs are out. Got them last Wed when they launch new card and Xmas merchandise. Min reload RM30 per card. 2 glossy and 1 matte. Now lazy to upload.... tmr I upload and share here.

Several outlets in Penang that I asked say NO.

There you go..

Yeah... nice! Its called matte surface. The usual plastic look is called glossy.

YES!!! Finally my free birthday cake has been updated in the system!! And yes... my method works!
But please take note, sometimes it takes quite some time for the Starbucks IT dept to update the system, so if you use it near end of the month, by the time they update the system it could be already in the next calendar month.

I didnt call the CS. Not sure how many days it took but from the last check, I think it takes at around 2 weeks for them to update. The free cake is not singled out as the drink that I bought was also not updated until after 2 weeks later. Thus, as soon as the CS update the purchased drink, the free slice of cake is updated as well.

Of course you may if you would I don't go Sbux everyday so its fine.

Anyone tried using other tumbler(non-starbucks) at starbucks? Is it entitled for RM2 discount as well? Or the tumbler has to be starbucks tumbler????

Yes I do collect.

This is the card I got from London last week.

Poor British... they must reload ₤20 (around RM110) to get a free TALL drink.
And yet, registering a new card DOES NOT give you any free drink. I bought a tumbler there, NO free drink too. There's no buy 10 free 1 drink, the card is for Stars collecting that grant you a different level of priviledge like free add shot, free whipped cream and etc.
After all, our Malaysian version of Starbucks card seems to be a super vip status!

The most expensive Starbucks I think is in Switzerland (though I havent travel the whole world yet). A cup of Hot Venti Caramel Macchiato cost CHF8.30 (around RM30) each. Was stunned when I pay for the drink.

Not quite true. There was once after I bought the drinks, then I checked the Reward page after 5 mins and saw the Free cake has been updated. Went back to redeem the cake but the barista say its not updated yet. Went back again after another 5 mins, the barista said the same thing, no rewards in the system yet. Gave up then.

I assume you know you must buy a drink in order for the cake to appear right?

Not sure. But after checking twice, I let go as it wasnt near month end yet.
