Enjoy a smooth start to 2011 with a free fresh filter coffee at Starbucks.

On Monday 10th January you can enjoy free fresh filter coffee from participating Starbucks in the UK or Ireland. It’s the perfect start to the morning ... or afternoon... or evening.

All you have to do is:
1. Print or download the voucher to your phone: http://wish.starbuckscard.co.uk/filtercoffee/voucher.html
2. Go to your local Starbucks, anytime, on Monday 10th January
3. Show your voucher and ask for your free fresh filter coffee
4. Add sugar, whole milk or skimmed – however you like it best
5. Sit back (or take it to go) and enjoy the taste of fresh filter coffee!

We’re really looking forward to seeing you, and we’d love to hear what you think – click ‘Accept’ and we’ll stay in touch.

Hope someone gets some use!

    Pity they increased the already sky high prices by over 5% during the week disguising it as the 2.5% vat increase,hopeing people wouldnt notice.

    A tall latte/capp went up from £2.10 to £2.15, that's not a 5% rise....

    Erm, you emailed a large multinational company to try to dictate to them what their prices should be, and you're calling them arrogant?

    At least you agreed with me that they are large.
    I emailed them to ENQIURE why in the same week we had a vat increase that the prices on the things we bought in there had increased by double that.
    Now somewhere with good customer services might reply back,citing the cost of beans ect to try and justify it.
    We will never know.
    So to my eyes it remains an example of one of several companies who have used the vat as a cover to ramp up prices,while others have held at pre vat rise.
    No matter,we will go elsewhere.Just pointing it out on this money saving site.
    Hope everyone enjoys the free one.And MK 14,feel happy to pay them an extra 5%,unless you are staff,then it wont apply.
  • About time they gave us a free drink.
  • My local sandwich shop I use M-F on my lunch hour has increased their prices by 9%

    ...
    Rest in Peace Fred the Maddest Muppet in Heaven :heart:
  • Passing this one on, thanks OP :D

    I work for quite a small company that doesn't make masses of profit...we've absorbed the VAT increase so that our customers won't have to pay the extra. Big companies that make billions each year are just greedy.

    A small (family run??) local sandwich shop I kinda get why they'd put their prices up; it's hard enough to make a living doing that sort of thing as it is!!
