Hey Award Trailblazers! Mark your calendars for November 13th because Starbucks is giving away free reusable red cups with any holiday drink purchase. Remember when these things were like gold dust? People used to snap them up and resell them for a tidy profit.
The big question is: is it still worth your time? The hype seems to have cooled off a bit since the early days, but if you're already planning on grabbing a Peppermint Mocha to kick off the holiday season, then a free reusable cup is a nice bonus! So, while you probably won't be retiring off reselling these, it's a fun freebie if you're a Starbucks fan.
Why This Matters for Your Strategy
News in the points-and-miles world moves fast, and promotional changes often have a short window. If this announcement affects a card or program you hold, log into your awardtrail dashboard to check your current benefit usage, bonus progress, and whether a transfer or redemption makes sense right now — before terms change.
As a general rule: transfer points only when you have a specific redemption in mind — transfers are almost always one-way and non-reversible. If you're unsure of the value, check our redemption guides before acting.
