Buying Daily Coffee

What is going to be better for buying coffee?  Are you thinking about getting one of those cash back credit cards?  People are spending lots of money every day on their coffee.  Do you have a special cup of coffee that you get every single day?  The mocha venti with or without whipped cream is one of my favorites.  The seasonal coffees like the pumpkin spice latte might also get picked during those colder days during the fall.  Sometimes I find that the venti coffee size is just too much.  There might be a little bit left at the end of the coffee drinking for the day.

Some people might be considering using rewards cards to pay for their daily purchases.  Why not use it for the daily coffee run?  The gold level kind of makes you want to countdown to 30 starbucks stars.  Learning the places where you can get cash back points might be sources like buying gas, but your ultimate goal might be getting big cash back that could be used to buy more coffee.

Download the starbucks mobile app for your mobile phone.  Get started quickly.  The faster you pick up the stars the better.  Registering a starbucks gift card is simple.  Getting up to the green and gold levels might even get you a free birthday drink.  
 The gold level rewards might really start kicking in if you are one of those people that likes daily coffee.  Now, the question of finding the good credit cards with cash back will be running through your head.  Is it worth it to get one of those cards for your coffee buying?  You might still just be paying off the balance in full every month, but the cash back is a good perk.

Weather is changing

Seasons are changing and the weather is getting into the really great football temperatures.  The teams are lining up and putting up points on the board and before long, it will be the holiday season.  The halloween costumes are just about ready for the party and the coffee will be needed from here to the beginning of the new year.

The starbucks car line for the drive thru windows looks like they are really long now.  Can you imagine as we get really deep into the holiday shopping season?  The hot coffees are probably going to be hot on the menu.  The frappacinos will have to wait a while.  The hot mocha, the largest size is what is going to be on the starbucks card.

The starbucks app must have been updated because it didn't work on my smartphone any more.  I guess it is time for a new smartphone.  Now, checking points on the starbucks webpage is going to be the daily routine.  Dropping back down to the lower rewards level is not that big of a deal.  It doesn't take long to get to the gold level.

The starbucks gold card is still going to be the card that I use at the window.  Just have to get around to loading it back up with money.  The coffee is not the only thing that I like picking up.  The pastries are probably the other items that I like to get the most. 

Getting gift cards for coffee can be done with online survey and rewards sites.  It is just another way to add extra to your starbucks cards.  If you are doing searching online and who is not doing search?  You can be on the way to getting points and gift cards.

Fell Down to the Green Level

Fell down back to the green level.  Have not been going through starbucks on a daily.  Did drop through for a birthday, but didn't get the birthday free drink.  Not a biggie.

Just been enjoying coffee from the home coffee maker in the morning.  The lines at starbucks are still long when I drive by.  

Will I start getting back into the starbucks lines during the fall?  They have some special drinks that might cause me to go through there.  The price increases keep on happening and I wonder if the money could be better used on paying down some debt instead of getting a great cup of coffee in the morning.
