Free Starbucks Coffee ***Dead***

When I printed out two and took my girl to the Starbucks where I always go, they told me that Corporate told them it was not real. They offered to make the drinks for free, but I couldn't rip these guys, who have always been good to me. I draw the line at "free stuff" when it hurts people I know. Do what you want, but they told me that Corporate doesn't send out email coupons. 'Nuff said.
 
This thread is hilarious. I love the ones CarlKillerMiller & commOdog made up too 🙂

As for the first coupon.. I'm sure it all depends on how smart the 16 year old at the register is. Hell, it's freakin coffee they're selling for $5 a cup. It costs them nothing to make. If they're smart, they'll take your coupon. If you even bought a piece of coffeecake to go along with your coffee they'd make a profit off of you.
 
went in asking for a free iced mocha today, the guy said it was only good for a free iced coffee... so, i got a free iced coffee instead 😉

Here is the full original coupon scanned. It was an insert in the sunday paper.

worked great for me, the person who took my order looked like he was about to ****** a brick for some reason...but the coupon went through fine.
 
So far ive used atleast 12 of these babies. The coffee isnt so good iced IMO. Its free but you have to print in on a whole page and in color... So yeah... Not really that good...

They did this on purpose to discourage people from printing a bunch of them...
 
It seems that some gave Iced Coffee Only.
Others gave ANY cold coffee beverage such as Frappoccinos.

One of the three near me had a sheet of paper taped to the counter where you pay stating that they woud not be honoring the coupon at their location (Massachusetts).
