I just confirmed the coupon works at Starbucks.
 
My Starbucks says it isn't a coupon and they won't take it. :(
 
Thanks...I'll be trying this out on my way to class on Monday afternoon. Here's hoping it will work!
 
Worked for me in Long Island. I gave it to my friend, she said it was the first one she's seen all day, but when she put in the code at the bottom, she said it worked. So yes, perhaps it is a YMMV coupon, but I find it odd that some register systems have the code programmed in and others wouldn't, considering Starbucks regulates all of its stores. Unless the baristas just didn't want to hand out a bunch of freebies.
 
It's worked all around Connecticut - Orange, Milford, Stratford, etc. I know Fairfield County areas are a little more finicky (i.e. Bridgeport) but so far haven't had an issue and the baristas are always surprised when I leave a tip. So make sure you all do! They're still making you a coffee after all!
 
Still working in Cleveland. They asked if it was emailed.
 
It's not counterfeit. It's a legitimate coupon that they made available to the public - we are just sharing it. The discount code is also accepted VERBALLY - therefore it's not an actual UPC coupon that would run risks of being improperly distributed or reproduced such as a $1.00 coupon you would use in the grocery store.
 
How does that apply here? If this was something that they were concerned about ripping people off, then they wouldn't accept anything but the ACTUAL printed flyer across the US. The baristas and managers are accepting ALL forms of this - mobile phone, printed, and verbal. Therefore it's not applicable if they're choosing to allow liberties with the fine print. If I went in and they made me pay, I would happily do so. Get it straight.
 
When Starbucks hands out their recovery cards (cards that are given to customers when a wrong drink is made) they are labeled in the bottom corner with a unique stamp and the number of the store on it. This way they ensure the card is legit when it comes back. If they were that concerned, then they would do the same with the free drink cards they give out on a regular basis. And if you gave out 100 and got back 1000 then you didn't properly train your staff. It's on the baristas and managers to discourage against these things or as others have noted - simply refuse them outright. I understand it says not to be reproduced, but if they're choosing to take them at all of these locations, then that's their choice. The baristas see the coupons, they know the terms, so they're the ones with the power to say no.
 
Thread closed. If Starbucks is giving these coupons away simply by a customer asking for them, then maybe that is the route to go if you don't feel like printing the coupon from the first post.
