Starbucks just announced that it will be offering free coffee to front line responders now through May 3rd.

Effective immediately, any customer who identifies as a front-line responder to the COVID-19 outbreak will receive a tall brewed coffee (hot or iced) at no charge. Awesome!

The company also announced that The Starbucks Foundation will donate $500,000 to support front-line responders in the US with half of these funds going to Direct Relief in support of the delivery of personal protective equipment and essential medical items.

The other half of this donation will go toward Operation Gratitude to deliver 50,000 care packages and handwritten letters to first responders and health care workers.

Starbucks Suspends the Use of Reusable Cups Amid Coronavirus Concerns

The links in the post below may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

As Starbucks lovers know, the chain offers a 10¢ discount for customers who bring in their own reusable cups. In an open letter to stakeholders, Rossann Williams, EVP and President, U.S. company-operated business and Canada, announced that Starbucks is pausing the use of personal cups and “for here” ware to help prevent the spread of coronavirus.

First and foremost, the health and well-being of our partners and customers remains top of mind and our highest priority, and we will continue to act thoughtfully and courageously despite the disruption and uncertainty COVID-19 brings to our daily lives. We will continue to stay close to our partners and local health officials, and we are optimistic this will be a temporary situation.

Starbucks has also updated cleaning procedures across all locations nationwide, and the company has canceled all business-related air travel through the end of March. These changes, along with the suspended use of reusable cups, have already taken effect.

FREE Unlimited Starbucks Refills with ANY Beverage Purchase

The links in the post below may contain affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

Did you know that Starbucks Rewards Members can score FREE refills of brewed coffee (iced or hot!), Cold Brew or iced or hot tea with any beverage purchase!

This is an awesome reward perk for those of us who head into Starbucks and plan to hang out for a while to visit with friends, enjoy a book, have a study session, get in a few hours of work, or just enjoy some time away from the regular home or work environment!

How to score your free Starbucks refill(s):

  • Become a Starbucks Rewards Member by signing up here it’s free
  • Order ANY beverage in-store or via mobile order
  • Enjoy your original beverage in store – this is important as you must not leave the restaurant or you will forfeit the refill perk!
  • Take your empty cup to the register
  • Order any cold brew coffee or hot/iced coffee or tea
  • Scan your Starbucks Rewards Card
  • Enjoy your free refill! Easy peasy!

And the best part – you can do this process as many times as you want as long as you stay inside the Starbucks store. You cannot leave and come back later OR take advantage of this offer via the drive-thru. Once you leave the store, your visit has ended and any new coffee or tea refill thereafter is considered a new purchase.

PLUS, if your Target has a Starbucks cafe inside, you can enjoy the free refills perk there, too!

Tip: Order your beverage before shopping and grab your refill before you leave! So smart!

Some things to keep in mind…

  • Your refill drink needs to be the same size as the drink purchased. So if you order a Grande, your refill will be Grande.
  • The refills do not include lemonade or iced tea infusions, such as the Strawberry Acai Lemonade Starbucks Refreshers.
  • The refills do not include handcrafted beverages, such as the frappuccinos and espresso drinks.
  • There is no limit on the number of refills or the length of the visit.
  • Starbucks Rewards Members of any level will receive a free refill. If you are not a registered Starbucks Rewards Member, you can still enjoy a refill for 50¢.
  • For more information, head here or check the Starbucks Rewards Terms.

Heads up!

Have you purchased a Starbucks Bodum Recycled Coffee Press over the past few years? On May 1st, Starbucks issued a recall on their Bodum Recycled Coffee Presses because they had received nine total reports of the plunger’s knob breaking, resulting in lacerations or puncture injuries.

These coffee presses were sold at Starbucks stores nationwide and online at Starbucks.com from November 2016 through January 2019 for about $20. The affected coffee presses have the SKU number 011063549 printed on a white label on the bottom of the base. Also, “Bodum” and “Made in Portugal” are embossed on the bottom.

If you believe you have one of these recalled Coffee Presses, you can register your product on the Bodum + Starbucks Recycled Coffee Presses Recall website. According to the U.S. CPSC site, you can return it to any Starbucks location for a refund in the form of store credit to Starbucks.

Have more questions? Contact the Starbucks Recall Hotline at 888-843-0245 from 8am-5pm ET Monday through Friday or go to Starbucks.com for more information.
