[@MrZola1234]

The fine print also includes the condition clause, “At participating stores.”

[@cristoferchanimak]

Yes but that condition is literally on everything. If the store participates in ordering via app and in the Starbucks card, it is participating.

[@allahsslave8339]

Me embarrassing myself in the line

[@CoolXGamer14]

You're awesome Erika. Thanks for showing the importance of reading the fine print. Now this is real entertainment.

[@no_way4165]

No, the importance of NOT reading the fine print, so she can do it for you.

[@Bitcoin-Busa]

As soon as I found out about free refills I made a deal with my partner! I’ll get a drink, quickly drink it then have them refill it for my partner, thus both of us get drinks and only pay for one👍🏽

[@nikissaltedwatermelon]

did it work?

[@johngatsby1473]

I do this almost everyday....I only drink coffee and she likes those fancy coffee drinks. Not expedite the process so you can both drink together you can ask for a cup, pour her drink into said cup and walk back up for a free refill of tea or coffee....the label from her drink let's them know you purchased a drink earlier making it hard to dispute. You have to use your Starbucks card and be a gold member for free refills.

[@ana419]

​@@johngatsby1473The trick is still getting you to go in and spend on Starbycks almost every day.

[@user-sz4uq6lv2i]

As a former Sbux employee, She forgot to mention the policy states “Same Store, Same Visit” You can’t just grab free refills all day long. Once you leave the store your refill is Void.

[@SnoozeAddict]

It says it on the writing behind her

[@user-sz4uq6lv2i]

I know, she should mention that though so people don’t just assume they can just show up and do this. Most people are not going to read the quick clip of the policy.

[@psalms2928]

Watch what you say because Erica might show up at your door with some fine print just to prove you’re wrong 😂

[@craciunlabs]

great to spend all day at that store. can i get refill all day long every day? as long as i do not exit the store?

[@cristoferchanimak]

They are participating if they are using the Starbucks app.

[@tropicalbreeze-hh3sh]

Right on, thank you

[@ana419]

It says at participating stores. So how do you know which stores participate?

[@s_ondae]

this is true and it's definitely not a secret. for corporate locations the refill deal applies if the costumer scans the same starbucks card they used during the original purchase and they have remained at the starbucks location. once you leave, your visit has ended and the offer does not apply (hence the offer does not extend to drive-thru costumers). as for licensed locations i've heard it can differ as they have different policies, in that case it's best just to inquire with your barista :)

[@AxolotlIdiot]

Oh my gosh Erika thanks so mUCH!!!

[@fadinreigne]

I think you forgot the IN STORE part

Starbucks has updated their terms....check first...thanks Erika!!!!

[@Catfish_Strongswim]

**within the same store visit, you can’t use this through the drive through or at another store location

[@AmieCreationsx]

“Reads the fine print for us” but doesn’t mention its at PARTICIPATING STORES. Or that it’s only if you’re sitting and staying inside of said store.

[@cristoferchanimak]

If they use the app they are participating.

[@ClutchingPearlz]

Where is Dustin? I need his rebuttal on this. 🤣

[@SignWithCourtney]

How do you know if it's a "participating store". I literally had no idea about this.

[@M4YPL3]

at mine it's only honored with the original ticket, meaning only the previous drink can be remade, it seems kinda like a stretch to suggest all Starbucks both corporate and licensed will honor these terms as you described them. If you can order a short hot coffee with nothing in it, then try get a trenta blank tea lemonade as the refill when it's literally twice the cost take it small claims court lmao

[@jazzster1234]

Terms and Conditions. They agreed to them when they become franchises.

Damm why dose star bucks not have any coffee beans anymore?

Erika NEVER EVER ANGER ANYONE WHO MAKES YOUR FOOD OR DRINK. yes this is true but you didn't have to be witchy about it. My advice is way more valuable than yours .

[@truethought7288]

Might be true, but this would be pathetic to be in line to fight your way to a coffee refill when tea was bought

[@brianne486]

It has to be the same store and same visit. Like if your hanging out in the lobby area doing work and want a refill. You can’t go through the drive thru and get a refill

[@muistul8999]

will not work expect to get beat up by minimum wage employees who dont give a sht about their job

Yes you do get a free refill or coffee but you must stay in the store. We aren't going to give it to you 'if you just come in with a random cup

This is wrong. You can get a refill during the same visit. It is free if you pay with your registered Starbucks card. You cannot leave the cafe and come back asking for a free refill. K thx!

[@joshmccain6061]

It’s not well hidden everyone knows as it’s advertised but then again people don’t pay attention to details also just because this is a thing that doesn’t mean all stores will comply as not all stores participate especially not a reserve or a licensed store
