Humpday How To & Starbucks Rewards update 12/28/2011

First of all, here is the e-mail I got back from Starbucks regarding the question I asked here.

Dear Stephanie,

Thank you for contacting Starbucks Coffee Company.

You can find information about what is included in the rewards program at 
http://www.starbucks.com/card/rewards/program-information.

You are able to order an iced coffee and add free modifiers to the drink and you 

get free refills on brewed coffee and tea.

If you have any further questions or concerns that I was unable to address, 

please feel free to let me know. 

Warm Regards,

Johnny R

Customer Relations

Starbucks Coffee Company

800 STARBUC (782-7282)

Monday through Friday, 5AM to 8PM (PST)

So, that was not really helpful lol but I did find THIS, pretty much the guide to the Green Level:

Free Select Syrups and Milk

Purchase any beverage on the menu with your registered Starbucks Card at a 

participating store and you can get select syrup and milk options on the house.

Complimentary syrup choices include Caramel (regular or sugar-free), 
Cinnamon Dolce (regular or sugar-free), Classic, Hazelnut (regular or sugar-free), 
Raspberry, Peppermint, Toffee Nut and Vanilla (regular or sugar-free). 
Syrups are subject to availability and exclude all seasonal or promotional 
beverages and syrups. Complementary milk choices include: 
Soy, Nonfat, 2% (our standard), Whole and Cream (breve, half-and-half). 
Offer subject to change.

Free Refills on Brewed Coffee or Tea

When you’re at Starbucks you feel at home. Paying with your registered 
Starbucks Card gets you brewed or iced coffee or tea refills at no charge 
during the same visit to a participating store.

You must use your registered Starbucks Card to purchase a brewed or iced coffee or
 tea and then present that same card for a refill during the same visit. Offer not valid on 
Caffè Mistos, Pour Over, Starbucks Reserve™ or Clover® Brewed coffees, or at 
Drive Thru window. Offer subject to change.

Free Beverage with Whole Bean Purchase

Get more coffee with your coffee. When you use your registered Starbucks Card to
 buy 1 lb of whole bean coffee at a participating store, we’ll give you a handcrafted 
Tall (12 fl oz) beverage of your choice.

You receive one complimentary 12 fl oz handcrafted beverage at time of purchase 
of one or more pounds of whole bean coffee. Offer not valid with Pour Over, 
Starbucks Reserve™ or Clover® Brewed coffees or Starbucks Reserve™ 
whole bean coffees. Offer subject to change.

Ok, so cool... here is what I have been ordering instead of my Venti frappes and lattes:

Grande Iced Vanilla Soy Americano... for the price of just the Americano, 

since the milk and syrups are free with my card. It's not too bad... I add a splash of 

cream and 2 sugars from the condiment bar and that makes it really tasty! 

Plus it is under $3.00! Also, I was having the issue of only earning one star when 

I order my husband and I each a drink, so we remedied that by him using 

his cell phone Starbucks rewards app to purchase his (using my card number... 

which is actually OUR card now lol) and I just use my card to pay, so then I 

get the actual 2 stars for 2 drink purchases!

Today I am going to try a Grande vanilla iced coffee with breve creme and see if I like that. 

Ok, so I have been away a few days, because of Christmas and we got

 satellite internet installed yesterday... we really would rather have DSL or 

Cable, but this is all we can get out here... so anyway, here are the other 

Christmas cards I made(and once again, NOBODY said anything about them... )

Then, here is the Cookie Monster hat I made for Dylan's really big head!;) 

I had to add a couple rows to the bottom, and he LOVES it and is actually WEARING it, 

so I am happy!!:)

And now for the Humpday How To: this is a yarn holder I "made" out of an over the 

door hanger you can buy for around seven bucks at Walmart! Hang the hanger over 

a door and stuff with yarn!!:)
