New Starbucks Gold Card: 

Well, the Starbucks Gold Card is finally… gold. The best part though is my name being printed on it. Awesome.
This was mailed to me along with the details of the new program.
Free drink “just for being gold.”
Free drink on my birthday.
2 hours of wi-fi every day.
Free refills on coffee.
Free syrups.
Free soymilk (apparently they charge more?)
Free coffee every time I purchase a pound of beans (which I do - Pike Place Roast)
Exclusive offers & coupons (this is serious - Starbucks once put $10 on the card for no reason)
Free drink every 15 stars (you get a star each time you buy a drink)
My only concern is I don’t see anything about my usual 10% off everything deal. Uh oh.
Note: This photo required macro mode to achieve legible text. Also, underneath is the XKCD Online Communities Poster.

Happy birthday to me from Starbucks:
Starbucks sent me a free drink coupon for my birthday since I’m a Gold Card member.

Starbucks gave me $10? Corporate generosity? Awesome!
