Ad (Expired) Free Starbucks Coffee - Must Vote

If you vote, Starbucks buys your coffee

On November 4, 2008, Starbucks will give voters a free tall brewed coffee at participating U.S. stores. This initiative kicks off with a 60-second ad during the final pre-election edition of Saturday Night Live on NBC this Saturday. The ad was developed by BBDO, who is working with Starbucks on a number of initiatives.

Voters simply need to cast a vote, then tell the barista at their local Starbucks and they’ll receive a tall (12 oz) cup of brewed coffee at no charge (limit one per customer). In the best tradition of democracy, we’re using the honor system for proof of voting.

Great find! I'm voting and will definitely hit up at least one Starbucks. And a reminder to those who have the free oatmeal coupon--that expires on Monday, Nov. 3rd. Used mine last night and added the nuts, fruit and brown sugar. Was very good.

Wow - that's soooo cool! It does state at participating locations - I guess we'll all have to call our local ones to see if they'll be handing out the joe!

OK - I've done some calling --- ones in my local area offering it are :

In New Hampshire:
Manchester, Plaistow, Nashua, Exeter

In Massachusetts:
North Andover, Andover, Newburyport

I called others but couldn't get an anwser - apparently, the ones participating may be flagship (coporate) stores as opposed to franchise locations...but if your'e in these areas -- YUM! :cup:

Starbucks does not franchise! Only have corporate stores! Hopefully they will be giving out free coffee in the Chicago burbs too!

We don't have too many Starbucks near me, actually. Two stand alone ones, and a couple of Barnes & Noble's stores has them. I wish we had more.

But, lucky for me, one of them is really close. Just down the street.

They do not franchise, but there are some stores that are "licensed" and not corporate. The company I work for operates a lot of them, however most are not in public locations.

Is there a comprehensive list of voting frebies/discounts? I know many are loacl.

From where I sit (and 2 blocks from my polling place) there are 11 Starbucks within a 5 block radius. Even I can't handle THAT much coffee. Which is harder to imagine. Mine (which are probably all closer to me than your one) or that you only have one. I have even heard that some people don't really even HAVE a Starbucks, so to speak. I guess that's the hardest to imagine.


Opps - I forgot the one on the 8th floor of the hotel across the street :o
