This members exclusive from Starbucks Canada Rewards program is just the kind of deal that will get you trying out some of Starbucks new tea offerings for the spring. Right now, when you use your registered Starbucks card to buy any tea latte (hot or cold), you will receive a specified number of bonus stars that will be predetermined by the frequency with which you use your Starbucks card.

For instance, I received an e-mail from Starbucks Rewards program alerting me to the offer on tea lattes, and it stated that I will receive 4 bonus stars (meaning a total of 5 stars for one purchase) when I buy any tea latte between now and April 13th. Other members have stated that they received e-mails informing them that they could receive up to 6 bonus stars, while others were only 2 bonus stars. Either way, if you buy a tea latte between now and April 13th, and it can be any size or any kind, you will probably be receiving bonus stars.

Considering that it only take 12 stars to earn a free drink or food item when you are at Gold card status, this means that you could buy 3 tea lattes within the promotional period (or less, depending on the number of bonus stars you are being rewarded with each purchase) and your fourth drink or food purchase will be free.

You can use this offer as many times as you like within the set out promotional time period, and it will sometimes take up to 24 hours for your stars to be loaded onto your card.
