Starbucks is holding happy hour May 7-16 from 3-5pm and offering half price frappaccinos for 10 days only! They’ve also added some new flavours including: Soy Strawberries and Creme, Extra Coffee Caramel and Mocha Light. I love Starbucks and my favourite frapp is the Vanilla Bean, it tastes like Breyers all-natural ice cream!
This is valid in Canada and the US, one per customer.
Thank you to donnaG for sharing this offer with us!
Too bad this didn’t run from 3-6 because I’m at work between 3-5! ;( Sounds yummy though!
thanks! sbux fraps are so yummy
Don’t forget – if you have a reusable Sbux gift card, you can get ANY drink at ANY size for free… on your bday.
Luckily i found this out before Friday 😉 😉
I love the Green Tea Frap and I finish work at 4:30pm ..just in time!
Nancy–to get a free drink for your birthday, you need a registered Starbucks card (with your address and birthday info) and they send you a coupon in the mail.
Happy Birthday!
How much does one of these usually run for full price?
The new ones are just not that nice though.
AmberLab: they’re usually around $5
Wow! Glad I’m not a coffee drinker. A half price still at $2.50 a pop.
That puts them on par (price-wise) with a Tim’s Ice Capp! I may just have to participate… a few times. 😉
Stephanie – Oh… I registered my card a few weeks ago. But I haven’t gotten anything in the mail yet! Oh no 🙁 I hope I can just go in and tell them it’s my bday regardless and get a free drink.
Ugh.
@ Nancy: Call customer rep.
Sometimes they send card 3 weeks before/after Bday.
YUM! Thanks for sharing! There is a Starbucks a 10 minute walk from my house. I think I’ll be going for many walks next week between 3-5 😉
Oh yay! this is when the new lcbo by my house opens I can go taste wine and then get a frappucino lol
I’d definitely give them a try! But will have to skip the whipped cream… lol.
@ Nancy: If you do not redeem your free drink for your birthday, they would mail out a voucher for a free drink a month from your birth date for redemption.
To clarify my last post, the card has an expiry date a month away from your birth date. Basically, you have another month to redeem your gift.
Depending on the size you get, the frapps usually go for $3, $4, $5. And ya, I skip on the whip too most of the time.
Gonna try it on weekends!!!
Here’s the lowdown (I work at Starbucks): We’ve completely changed the way we make Fraps now. Instead of using a pre-made base, we’re making them with actual milk, which means you can have it with non-fat, 2%, whole milk, soy or lactose free milk. You can get it with extra coffee flavour, or shots of espresso, or half sweet, or extra sweet, whatever! We’re calling it the “however you want it” frap, so if you can think of it, we can make it. But, just like all the other drinks, soy, lactose free milk, and syrups are an extra charge (unless you pay with a registered card) and shots of espresso are extra.
And for Nancy, you can’t just walk in and tell us it’s your birthday. There’s a code on the postcard they send you that we have to ring in. Our customer service number is 1-888-23-LATTE, so you can give them a call and work it out with them and get your birthday postcard.
I hope that answers everyone’s questions, and we’ll all be happy to make you a Frappucino!
This is a great promo and I definitely would have participated if they hadn’t changed the formula! I went in the other day for a caramel frap and even though they made it twice it was aweful! I wanted it just as the original was, but they couldn’t seem to manage to get it even close. Sad, why ruin a good thing? For people that want the original, they should still offer it 🙂 Just MHO.
On those rare occasions we spend cash at Starbucks, I always get a Mocha and my wife gets a cafe vanilla (it’s liek Vanilla bean except they use a coffe base instead of a cream base – it’s not on the menu) with no whip. Gonna have to go to the mall a little early on Friday it seems.
@ Eric – sounds good, I will try that next time.
my favorite frap is dark cherry mocha frap…oh it’s heaven…
Hello:
This looks like a great offer. Do I have to do anything to get the frappucchinos half price?
Sandra
Nope, just show up between 3-5pm up until May 16th and for any frappuccino you order it’s half price. Keep in mind that smoothies are not apart of this promotion. (I’ve had many people ask me to do these for half price :P)
Also, the new method tends to be less sweet than the old way Starbucks used to make them. Hint: If you ask to have the number of pumps doubled, it will equate to the same sweetness and a similar flavor as the old ones.
ive been going almost everyday since it started!! LOVE IT!!
i got an email saying it starts on the 6th or may and runs to the 15th some hours just different start and ending dates
