I've sort-of-known about this perk but didn't take advantage of it fully until recently. Here's what I'm talking about. For the low low price of $2.93 I got not one, but three Grande drinks! It was such a great deal I did it three times in the last week.
Drink #1 - A "Misto" my go-to favorite winter drink. It's basically a cafe au lait, 1/2 brewed coffee (I get the dark blend) and 1/2 steamed milk. I ask for extra foam and 2 sugar in the raws (for a grande) and a "to-stay" cup whenever possible. Because it's much better to drink out of a cup and the other customers give you inquisitive and somewhat envious looks. This drink cost me $2.93 including tax.
Drink #2 - My first refill, a dark brew coffee (still grande) and I add 1/2 and 1/2 and sugar packets. It rings up as $.50 but when you use your Gold (or Green) Card it zeros out. Cost = FREE!
Drink #3 - After reading, chatting with friends or just chilling for a couple hours I'm ready to actually leave Starbucks so I ask for my next refill to go. A (grande again) 2 pump peach green iced tea, easy ice. Cost = FREE
How great is that? The free refills FYI include: iced tea (not w/lemonade), iced coffee, hot coffee and hot tea. No matter what drink you get first (even a frappuccino!!) you can get refills of coffee/tea for free with the Gold (or Green) Card.
If hanging out in a coffee shop for a few hours isn't in your schedule you can also get the refills while you do errands. A few of my local grocery stores (including Target!!) have Starbucks inside. I get an iced coffee when entering the grocery store and a refill as I'm leaving. Two drinks for the price of one ($2.75 for a Grande Vanilla Iced Coffee).
So go caffeinate up before they change this reward!!
