      I do this almost everyday....I only drink coffee and she likes those fancy coffee drinks. Not expedite the process so you can both drink together you can ask for a cup, pour her drink into said cup and walk back up for a free refill of tea or coffee....the label from her drink let's them know you purchased a drink earlier making it hard to dispute.
      You have to use your Starbucks card and be a gold member for free refills.

    this is true and it's definitely not a secret. for corporate locations the refill deal applies if the costumer scans the same starbucks card they used during the original purchase and they have remained at the starbucks location. once you leave, your visit has ended and the offer does not apply (hence the offer does not extend to drive-thru costumers). as for licensed locations i've heard it can differ as they have different policies, in that case it's best just to inquire with your barista :)

    There’s also the “$.50 extra shot” trick. There’s a button on the register for an extra shot (it’s $.50). Ask for just the extra shot and they have to give it to you in a small cup. After you get it fill the rest with milk and you have a latte.

If you can order a short hot coffee with nothing in it, then try get a trenta blank tea lemonade as the refill when it's literally twice the cost take it small claims court lmao

    Girl: Actually *I* read Starbucks term...
    Girl: Erika did! She's a lawyer who read the fine prints so *I* don't have to...
    So, did you read the fine prints or did Erika did that for you? đŸ€Ș
    Girl = Erika!

    It used to be limited to during the same visit, but I haven’t sit inside to work at Starbucks since before the pandemic. Does anyone know if that changed?

    I’m pretty sure if you get a coffee you can get free refills of that ( hot coffee ) all day
