As long as you have a registered card and pay with it, the smoothie will be free (they will tell you the total, but when you get your receipt, you will see it was free!) Also you can get as many as you want today for free!

I went to the one at Fairview Mall today in North York and was told that the deal was a “scam” and didn’t give me one. If they didn’t want to give them out, they could have simply said that they weren’t participating in it. Geez.

Got my free Grande size sample at the Wellington and John location in Toronto. I just printed the e-mail and showed it to the dude behind the counter… made explaining the deal a lot easier.

Yes,

This promotion works with any corporate owned Starbucks. It does not work if the Starbucks is in a bookstore such as Chapters or a supermarket such as Safeway, since the coffee shops are owned by the establishment they are in.

I went to a stand-alone Starbucks yesterday, Friday, July 25 and got Vivanno. They are tasty.

Do you want to hear the only problem? The size was too small! They were so good.

By the way, folks, they give you a straw, but you don’t need it. You will enjoy it chugging it down.

In Saskatoon I received two full size samples. The clerk swiped my registered card and she gave me two, one for me and one for my husband.

i called a local starbucks and they said they were giving out cups and coupons 2 weeks before. so unless I have that, they can only give me a 4 oz. sample. of course i didn’t bother going..

Finally got mine in Montreal. I take a copy of the email and show to the lady. They only have banana/chocolate but I like it.

Just returned home from our local Starbucks. Got a Vivanno for my daughter, her friend, myself and spousal unit.
(I have multiple cards, and there had to be $$$ loaded on them)

anyway, the kids liked the mango,banana one and the chocolate banana was my favourite, though they’re both good. the calorie count is good considering how much protein is in each one.

Thank you for the post because I would have forgotten about this dealio!

Just came back from having my Vivanno Chocolate Banana for lunch!
I just printed the picture here (copied and pasted to word) and showed together with my registered card. Firstly I asked if they had the promotion at that location and they said SURE and made me a delicious drink! I might even try another location (another flavour) tomorrow!
Thanks guys!!!

It has to be a “registered Starbucks Card”, which means that you have to go to the Starbuck’s website, create an account and register the card. When you register the card it gives you extra privileges like free syrup and an opportunity to try the new drink for free.

I called my Starbucks store to inquire and they are participating…at least here in the Niagara Falls area. I will be bringing my email along just in case.

It’s only valid today and tomorrow, and you have to present your starbucks card (a gift card with money on it).

what is a starbucks card?

Did someone know if it’s also available here in Montreal (Quebec)?

Because here seem like Starbucks are not “owner” of Starbucks store, it’s a particular thing to province of Quebec only.

I email Starbucks and no one could give me an answer.

Thanks for anyone give me feedback.
