There's a coupon for a free starbucks iced grande drink floating around, just use google for "free starbucks" to find it. Apparently it's real, but I've emailed to ask lol

it's a copy, which is why it has to be hand-entered

starbucks coupons don't scan period. Even the free ones from corporate don't have barcodes. I read that it was an email sent to a region that said to pass along to a friend or two, but it got out of the region and starbucks is honoring, several people have already called, but I figure I'd email to make sure. I'm just checking Smile

I hate to inform you but that coupon is fake. Starbucks from time to time does run promotions but they are for one day only and they NEVER give away Grande size ever.

Google it and you will see it is fake.

That's thee link on the board with more info.

I spoke with a woman on Saturday night who had personally called corporate on Friday and was told it was a fake. According to Snopes as of yesterday this is legit. I would just say, AYOR!

I went onto Starbucks to see if they had any info. Below is a direct quote from the Starbucks site:

I got an email from Caribou Coffee (pretty much only in the Midwest, I think) saying that on Friday, Sept 8th they will honor the Free Starbuck's coupon, since they heard so many Starbuck's will not even honor their own coupon. According to other boards, they are real. Employees were just told not to take them.......Caribou is WAY better anyway, IMO......

I think Caribou goes to the East Coast as well. They frequently have "free coffee" days and coups out there! Very Happy

Wish I was closer to one!

Starbucks is not honoring the free iced coffee coupon any longer per a sign I read in Starbucks today. Sad

Ok. I called My personal lawyer about this coupon. And if it is indeed lagit and they just won't honor it you should stock up on these. Because he said if they lose that lawsuit that they have on this that they will have to honor them. Wouldn't that be great? I love starbucks but normally cannot afford it.

It was altered from the original wording, and that is why they aren't accepting them. It originally was for a small, not the large. Someone altered it to get a little more free coffee. Starbucks has the right to pull it because it is no longer legit. They issued a statement saying why they are no longer honoring it. I think they have every right to.
