That’s too much damn work for a cup of coffee. These Starbucks Execs are crazy.
This is a lame offer. You need 125 stars to get a free beverage, you used to only need 12.
Just recently (late March), they had an offer where if you made 6 purchases, you would get 10 bonus stars.

Those purchases could happen all on the same day or spread out over a week.
With this offer, you have to go 8 days _in a row_ , and if all you bought was a tall coffee, you’d only earn 8*2*1.95 = 31 stars. Including the bonus, you still wouldn’t have enough for a free drink.
Even if you bought a $5 beverage every day, you’d end up with a total of 160 stars, enough for a free drink, but you are still worse off as you are only one quarter of the way to the next drink.
