Inspired by our last post, we called Starbucks customer service (800-235-2883) and spoke with Meredith. After we complained about Starbucks pulling their iced coffee promotion, she agreed to mail us a $5 gift card. Yippy skippy.

According to Meredith, the free coupons had to be nulled because they were “tampered with.”

We also like how she refers twice refers to the coupon as a “surprise and delight.”
