Starbucks giving away free reusable cups to customers this week - how to claim

Starbucks is giving away free reusable cups to customers who buy a drink on two specific days this week.

On this Thursday (April 18) and Friday (April 19) Starbucks Rewards members can claim the free limited-edition reusable cup when they order any grande-sized iced beverage through the app. Prices do vary across the country but on average a grande-sized cold coffee brew costs £4.95 and an iced Caffè Latte costs around £4.55.

Your order will then be served to you in the reusable cup. Sadly, frappuccinos are not part of the deal and you will need to swipe your points card or app at the till to gain the freebie. If you continue to reuse your cup going forward, you get 25p off every Starbucks drink you buy. Starbucks Rewards members also collect “Stars” when they buy drinks with every £1 spent, three stars are earned.

The high street coffee chain has warned that there is a limited supply so if you want one you’ll have to be quick. The deal is available at its 1,066 stores and drive-thrus, as well as through click-and-collect. However, the offer is not valid on orders made through Starbucks Delivers.
