Starbucks Sweets

Now I just have to wait.  I didn't even buy a coffee today, but the day is still young.  I took the time to go inside a starbucks today.  I was hoping to see some of the sweets.

They had a few donuts, but I just went with the iced lemon pound cake.  It is good and it is expensive, but it is consistently above par.

The line was not that long when I walked in, but just like the drive through window, it started to fill up quick.  The cinnamon roll looked interesting, but it was kind of small.

I might roll through that starbucks again later.  I wonder how long it will take to get the new gold starbucks card?

Do you know what day it is?

Later on today, I will be crossing the finish line when it comes to getting the gold rewards card from starbucks.  

How did I get there?  I have cut back a lot on my starbucks coffee habit.  There was a time that I would go through there a few times a day.  Now, I drink more coffee at home.  I still enjoy getting a good mocha going through the drive through window.

One reason that you want to get a starbucks gift card and register it is because of the promotion codes that are offered.  Sometimes, they offer special promotions that you can use to save some money.  

I don't just get coffee.  I really like the pastries too.  They use to have a cinnamon twist, but now it is gone.  The twist was the perfect associate to the venti mocha.  They have some other good sweets at starbucks, but when I find something that I like, I tend to stick to it.

Checking the starbucks website gives you some clues to interesting items.  I might even venture into trying something new for the last order for the gold card.

What will it be?  A slice of lemon pound cake, a piece of coffee cake or something completely different?  It has been a really long time since I had a muffin.  

I will make up my mind before getting into the drive through.  You don't want to be one of those people that holds up the line.  It is best to go through there when there is no traffic.  

I hope that starbucks has a good deal for this month.  The last starbucks promo code was good.

1 star away from a starbucks gold rewards card

I was going to go ahead and get a piece of lemon pound cake to cross the finish line.  I am only one starbucks star away from getting the gold rewards card.

It is not really a big deal in the scheme of things. You just get a gold rewards card to pay for your stuff.  They do give you a free drink on your birthday and I think they give you a free drink every 12 or 15 purchases.  I am not sure about the number of times you have to buy something before you get a free drink.  

One feature that I have to get clear is the free refills.  I think that you have to pay with your rewards card.  I might actually sit in a starbucks instead of rolling through the drive thru window for a refill.

You have to get 30 stars to get the gold card.  You can download the starbucks app on your smartphone and use that to pay also.
