Text what to 81818?
Hi Eric!
If you text, blonde, you should be able to get the free tall roast! Let me know if it works for you 🙂
I just did this and I got a message saying the offer request period is expired. :/
The message back :
STARBUCKS: Sorry, the offer request period has ended.
I got the same message about the request period ending. That’s bad promoting if you ask me, considering that it states the expiry day is Sunday.
Hi Optifree,
So sorry about the confusion – we were told that the promotion would last until Sunday, unfortunately that was not the case. I’m very sorry you weren’t able to take advantage of the free coffee!
I just tried it and got back: “STARBUCKS: Sorry, the offer request period has ended.” 😔
Got the same message. Offers over.
Now Starbucks has your cellphone number and knows you are customer or potential customer. I am guessing somewhere there is fine print that by texting them you have agreed to receive text ads. They did not even have to provide a coffee for many of texters because of the “mistake”.
I have not received any texts from them and I signed up for this last time, they can spam me with push notifications from the starbucks app though
