Starbucks tips

Starbucks has something special going on in Switzerland: its prices.

Norwegian Cruise Line offers unlimited Starbucks drinks for $15.50 a day, which a TikToker says is a "really good deal."

There’s an easy way to get 1,000 bonus miles on your next coffee run. For a limited time, Delta Air Lines is giving 1k bonus miles when you enroll and visit Starbucks two times in one week. Here’s how to enroll in this bonus offer.

Since Delta Air Lines partnered with Starbucks last year, members of both loyalty programs have been able to link accounts and earn 1 SkyMile per dollar spent on eligible purchases at Starbucks.

In February, when Starbucks announced it was converting its frequent-drinker program to a revenue-based scheme, there was a collective groan from the caffeinated crowd. As with similar conversions by the major airlines, Starbucks’ new earning rules would mean fewer rewards for most customers.

Earlier this year, Starbucks made a move that will be all too familiar to travelers: The company converted its loyalty program to a spend-based scheme, rewarding members according to the amount of their purchases rather than the number of their visits.

American’s AAdvantage program isn’t the only loyalty scheme converting to spend-based points accrual later this year. Starbucks, the world’s largest purveyor of coffee-based beverages, has announced plans to make a similar change to its Rewards program, effective some time in April.

When you think of enjoying an espresso in Italy, you probably don’t envision getting one at Starbucks. Italy is the same country that gave us the cappuccino, the macchiato, and—my personal favorite—the affogato, which comes with a big scoop of gelato. Drinking coffee in Italy is an event in itself, so it’s no wonder the country has resisted the super-sized coffee chain for so long. But with the opening of the first Starbucks in Italy, that attitude might be changing.
