Need a pick-me-up after Sunday’s Big Game? Head to your local Starbucks: The coffee chain is giving out free drinks to its Starbucks Rewards members this Monday, Feb. 9.
Members of the loyalty program can score a free tall (12-ounce) iced or brewed coffee with the purchase of any other beverage, so bring a friend — or your very tired, possibly hungover self. Note that any customizations you make to the free drink might cost extra, per a press release.
Starbucks will be debuting special-edition green paper cups and launching a new 1971 Roast coffee blend the same day, according to the release. The cups will be available at participating U.S. Starbucks stores through February while supplies last.
This is the second year in a row that Starbucks has poured free coffee after the Big Game, marking what it’s calling “Starbucks Monday.”
Mashable Trend Report
Last month, Starbucks announced that it was updating its Starbucks Rewards program with a new tiered membership structure — which isn’t going over well with customers, judging by some Reddit threads. The changes won’t go into effect until Tuesday, March 10.
How to sign up for Starbucks Rewards
If you’re not a Starbucks Rewards member yet, you can join for free online or in the Starbucks app. Every purchase earns you “Stars” that you can redeem for free drinks, snacks, merch, and drink customizations. (Registering a gift card or preloading money on the app will earn you double the Stars per dollar.) Additionally, you’ll get a free drink or food item on your birthday.
Some fine print: You have to be signed up for Starbucks Rewards before Monday in order to be eligible for your free tall coffee. You’ll also need the Starbucks app on your phone. A coupon for the free coffee will appear in the “Offers” tab.
If you don’t see the coupon, the company recommends ordering in-store and letting your barista know that you’re a Starbucks Rewards member.
