FREE Cocoa Cappucino from Starbucks - Thursday 17th March

Recieved an email for this week's offer:

Have you tried our new Cocoa Cappuccino yet? We think you’ll love the delicious combination of rich cocoa and smooth espresso flavour, layered with a creamy topping of steamed milk.
Stop by your local Starbucks on Thursday March 17th and enjoy one FREE Tall Cocoa Cappuccino (hot or iced) when you purchase your handcrafted drink* and present this voucher(http://mail.starbuckscard.co.uk/_act/link.php?mId=J821934553713152403214532167&tId=26927768), either as a print out or on your mobile phone. Enjoy!



I was hoping for a free coffee without having to buy another one, I don't need 2!

    Thanks for posting! Any idea how you get the mobile voucher and is it valid if I bought a tea?

    Thanks Anna x

    Last week it included filter coffee as it was in the photo used on the voucher. Won't include tea, I think, and doesn't include bottled 'beverages'.

    Picked up this morning - now buzzing after two coffees.

    It is a free tall Cocoa Cappuccino value £2.85. I was the first customer to present the voucher this morning and they didn't know what size it would be for (I did suggest the smallest), so gave me the Venti size. When they realised their mistake, they said 'Oh well - you're the first one, have the Venti anyway'.

    Hi

    Is this a freebie or do you have to purchase another hot drink to get it,

    Sorry for being a bit dim

    TIA
  • Gemma I totally agree with you, why not just give us the free coffee! I don't want two, Starbucks are getting meaner and meaner as the years go along with the Starbucks cards.....

    Meaner and meaner? You can have a filter coffee with extra shot, whipped cream and syrup, and a cocoa cappuchino for £1 total. It's a generous offer. Just take a friend out! Next Thursday they're giving out a bag of beans with a coffee purchased (you've got to have a voucher).

    Hi Alioth
    how do you get all that for a pound. The coffee alone without the cream etc cost me 1.50 last time i went in
    cheers in advance x
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    You need to get a starbucks card. It's a prepay card, I just top it up a couple of pounds at the till before ordering coffee, and then pay with it. You can get it at the store for free. You get 50p off filter coffee, free extras, and if you tick the box to receive the postal 'spam' you get vouchers through the post.
