For the past 2 years i have participated in their Christmas promo. Almost everyone knows this, but just for the sake of explaining.. For every purchase of hot or iced coffee or frap, you’d be given a promo card with a sticker or if you already have the card, you’ll be given just the sticker. You need a total of 24 stickers to complete the card and you could have it exchanged for their custom made planner. I’m not really a Starbucks fanatic, we rarely go to Starbucks but in 2005, my mom and i were in a mall and she had the sudden urge of drinking a frap so that was the first time i learned of the Christmas promo. I finished the card and got the planner for my mom. It had coupons and i took some of them to benefit myself. She loved it but rarely used the planner. In 2006, i once again participated in the promo and was able to get the planner for myself, but it was bulky and heavy so i rarely used it too. My friend Li-j wanted it but i didn’t give it to her because i thought i was gonna use it. In 2007, i decided not to participate in the promo because i always find myself broke. I distanced myself from the coffee shop because i didn’t even want to see what kind of planner they had this year.

But during our Christmas dog party, the group decided to head to Starbucks because we were there too early for lunch. The stores haven’t even opened yet. And tita Meko treated me for a frap and she was given the card for it and she then gave it to me. It had 2 stickers and i read in their flier that there was a promo at two different times of the day wherein you’d get your sticker times two. So i thought i could still avail of the planner after all! But after that day, i was busy, i was not able to go outside nor get close to a Starbucks to get my frap. And i was broke too. But then last Sunday, our YP fellowship had an outing. We spent the afternoon at Serendra and during late afternoon some of us headed to Starbucks and had coffee. It was such a bummer that i left my card at home but i was told i could combine the stickers with the new card. Since there were plenty of us, Tita Myrna took my card and said that the other parents might come in and have coffee. So i said fine. But the times two promo was over already which sucks.

To make the longer story shorter, i’m down to 5 stickers. And the promo is up until Jan. 15 only. I’ve had 4 stickers in 2 days and there’s 3 days more. Think i’ll be able to avail of the planner? I hope so.
