Spend alot at Starbucks? Get Starbucks Gold Card

Starbucks just came out with something called the "Starbucks Gold Card" for those caffeine addicts that spend lots of money at their shops. *Raises Hand* That's me! I qualify as one of those addicts. I happen to spend a lot of time at Starbucks, especially when I'm not working but spending a full day of studying there. Sometimes, I end up spending up to $10+ bucks a day! All those days of studying and moments of caffiene withdrawal leads me right back to that oh familiar circular green sign with the mermaid on it. Well this lady in front of me pulled out her card to day and I saw that she got 10% off her drink! So when I came up to the register to put in my order, I asked for more info. Here it goes...

- $25 membership fee (yearly)
- 10% off all drinks and food. (No CDs and third party commission items.)
- Get a free drink on your birthday and your first purchase with the card.
- If you spend over $250 a year at starbucks, then the card is paying for itself.

So I did a quick Calculation in my head. I average $20 bucks a week (5-6 drinks - I know right?) x 40 weeks in the year that I would spend with or WITHOUT Cindy. That's $800 bucks! I would save about $80 - $25 = $55 bucks. It might not seem much now, but if I pull out my card for those big group purchases, its a great deal!

So for those of you Starbuckers out there. You might want to consider this card. I'm sure there will be more benefits later and starbucks try to push their customers to purchase more from them.
