My Starbucks Rewards sent out two very different targeted e-mails on Monday night, one offering earning up to six bonus stars for making a purchase six days in a row, and the other offering a free beverage for purchasing three espresso or Frappuccino blended beverages.

Both promotions are valid from November 25 to December 1st. If you received the “Star A Day” promotion, you must register and start visiting on November 25 to get all six bonus stars.  Thanksgiving Day is a “free day” and if you are unable to visit on Thanksgiving Day, your “streak” will still be kept alive.

The second promotion is purchase any three hot or iced holiday beverages listed below to receive one free. Terms-and-Conditions for “A Star A Day Keeps The Bonus In Play”

Bottom Line:
I have never seen such different promotions sent out at the same time.  Depending on your buying habits, I wouldn’t say that one promotion is that much better than the other. Did anyone else get a different promotion?
