Some Rewards Programs Are Downright Insulting -- February 9, 2023

Paying with cash earns one star for each dollar spent.

Paying online through the app earns two stars for each dollar spent.

It takes one hundred stars to earn a "free" coffee.

Bottom line:

  • after spending $50 (online) or $100 (in cash) one gets a "free coffee." 

Generally:

  • a simple cup of coffee costs about $3.00.

Therefore, fifteen cups of coffee (or fifteen visits to Starbucks) earns you a free cup of coffee, which can be had at home for 15 cents or 50 cents (for most expensive K-Cup choice).
