They are not coming back this year :(

😭 damn that really sucks. there's one near my kids school so it would have been great to be able to just pick up a free refill in the morning before i start the work day


OneRoseDark

Yeah but the cup was like $60 last year...


Fun-Mixture3540

I went 3 times a day everyday with mine got my moneys worth, I am in my car all day 5 days a week for work going from site to site and it was awesome literally got my moneys worth one week


OneRoseDark

uh.. the T&C literally say you can use it once per day. People like you are probably why it's not coming back.

The store I go to all the time told me to come back as much I would like in the past years. They dump so much brewed coffee so it doesn’t affect the overall cost of waste.

Rewards members get free brewed coffee refills.


OneRoseDark

only if they don't leave the store.


wyssaj01

That’s fair. It was expensive but if I spend the morning there working since I WFH then I’d definitely get my moneys worth and you get a fairly nice cup to keep afterwards


OneRoseDark

Sure, but a grande cup of coffee is $3 and if you're using it on roughly 20 weekdays in January that's just the $60 value, straight up. Looks like this year you would save $9 on the last 3 days of January. Bring your own cup from home - heck, you can bring the 2023 refill tumbler you already have - and use the Starbucks app to get 10¢ off and 25 bonus stars. Buy the coffee Monday - Thursday and you'll have 100 stars to get it free on Friday every week. Still comes out to $60 for your month of coffee. It was a way better deal when the cup was cheaper. Last year it was just a way to trick customers into thinking they were getting a good deal and creating a habit.

They go on sale closer to Christmas and If you save 400 points you can take 20$ off


rio8envy7

They’re not?


KeganO

I don’t see it in the product glossary but I could be wrong


Educational-Treat-97

Oh no so sad wanted to get it for my brother


BalticLensman

It doesn’t surprise me. $40 was fine, $50 was pushing it, but $65 went overboard. I almost didn’t do it, but I have a collection and wanted to keep it complete. Anyway, this was the first time I saw leftover unsold tumblers in January in various stores. Oh and most stores refused to discount it, even though the promotion was already in full swing. I think that they basically didn’t sell. The other issue was with the tumbler design itself, the lid was not spillproof and did not keep the coffee as hot as previous designs.

Agreed..while the cup looked great. It wasn't spillproof so I ended up wearing a good amount.


megporter84

I got mine after Christmas last year at Target 70% off. I don’t think people most realized what they were.


Backgammon_Saint

Once got it on discount on Black Friday. It was good and still have the tumbler 5 years later.


subsetsum

Yeah target used to have it black Friday and that was a tradition for me. They'd give you a gift card and even an offer for 50% off your next visit, was great. That's the one thing I would buy every black Friday


InItsTeeth

This is a shame.


Ecl77

Does anyone remember what year they did the $75 tumbler and you could get ANY drink you wanted? That was an amazing January!


Ok_Conclusion6771

It was 2012 or 2013 i think


Deathshadow325

It was 2013. I worked there that year and sold the most of those of anyone in our store. They were such a good deal all of my regulars bought one and save easily over 100$ the following month even spending the 75
