Lauren Little says
Did you get your codes yet? Mine haven’t come in.
Kathleen Russ says
Have not received my code
thrillraceresq says
I seem to have only received one code today.
Angela says
I got a code within a couple minutes earlier today, but when I tried to enter it said the code had been used.
Nicole Flynn says
That’s a bummer. I never got my code yesterday I requested, but the one just now came after a few minutes.
thrillraceresq says
My first code was defective today. After attempting to enter it multiple times, it said that I have already entered twice today. (Not!) I heard this contest advertised on the news yesterday, so I guess millions are playing.
Todd says
So people are going to pay taxes on $54000 just for a cup of coffee a day?
Nicole Flynn says
Yeah, a lot cheaper than an actual cup. If its awarded the way it is, the taxes would be due annually, not on the lump sum. Also any unused codes, could be claimed as loss from the win, thus further reducing the tax burden.
bettyann54 says
still waiting for my code from yesterday and now today. i guess i better not hold my breath.
asweeper says
I won a tall hot beverage! Thank you!
Teresa says
I got my codes today but when I try to use them it says:
” “it looks like your code didn’t work. Please try entering it again”
Any one else with this problem or anyone know what to do to get it to work?
bettyann54 says
i finally got my codes 2 days later and like you they don’t work!
Cindy says
I have tried to get two codes per day and they only ever send me one code, anyone else get both codes.
cynthia says
I have won so far 2 cake pops, 6 cups of coffee or tea, and 2 bliss cranberry bars
Jennifer Conejo says
My codes weren’t working after I copied and pasted until I tried this: Copy and past as usual, then backspace on the last digit and type it in. Worked for me after I did this. Good luck all. 🙂
Elaine says
I have only been getting one code a day but very quickly. Did win Saturday and Sunday Dec 6 and 7 – a tall cup of coffee. But no email verification was ever sent. So did i not win then?
Jennifer Conejo says
I was getting e-mail notifications about my wins but the last 3 days….none. 🙁 Anyone else?
Luke J says
Yes me too. i won a cake pop, but I never received the email
Mary says
I am only getting one code a day. If you win, make sure you scroll down and hit the confirm button. I have won 1/2 lb. coffee, coffee/tea beverages, cranberry bliss bars and cake pops.
Maria S. says
I was only getting 1 code a day until I started requesting both codes first and I didn’t enter the first code until I got both. Now I have been getting 2 every day.
Blue says
If you win the coffee for life, it is for one beverage or food item every day. Plus if you don’t redeem it within 24 hours it expires for that day. Do people really go to Starbucks daily? Still trying to win on this one, really want to win a cake pop. 🙂
Holly says
Yes people really do go to Starbucks daily. I am one of them spending $7.01 on a single cup of coffee. They know my order to the point i don’t have to order it anymore.
Blue says
I go to Starbucks every once in a while, there is so much on the menu when it comes to coffees, teas and other drink items. Would get a Latte, but it is not as simple as saying “One latte please.” It’s like an entire conversation, I’m not an expert when it comes to coffee drinks plus don’t want to hold up the line. LOL
Good Luck to you, hope you win Starbucks for life :-).
bettyann54 says
i thought this was winnable, what does it take to win anything on this one?
thrillraceresq says
I dunno. I only won once. It was supposed to be a “tall” coffee, but the girl gave me small instead and she didn’t put the soy in so she had to reopen it and put it in and it was all messy. I needed a lot of napkins. The cashiers touch money and then put the lids on to be used as a sippy cup. Doesn’t seem very sanitary to me. Can’t imagine paying actual money for that kind of thing. I’m not a big coffee drinker, but I’ll make it myself if I want any.
Maria S. says
The talls ARE the smalls. Don’t ask me why. I never have figured it out. For winning this one, the best week to win was week #2 (5 prizes per minute!). This is the worst week with only 2,661 prizes (approx. 1 prize every 4 or 5 minutes) but starting Dec. 30 there will be over 6,000 prizes (1 prize every 2 minutes or so). I only won once this week but hope to do better next week.
thrillraceresq says
Thanks for the helpful info. 🙂
Blue says
Was wondering the same thing. Been entering since day one and have not won anything from this one. Only entries for the coffee for life.
Lorraine says
I won second prize today! It’s what I order anyway. Thank you
