The Fine Print
- This deal is invitation-only. Only those who’ve received a designated email are eligible to purchase it.
Our Verdict
Make sure you go through a shopping portal, top rate is currently 9% cash back. I’m interested to know if the trick to get around the invite only bit works for people or not, it worked perfectly for me. If it doesn’t work for you try clicking the shop now button a couple of times.
Just got a push of this offer from my Groupon App. It’s my second time to get targeted and I place the order immediately.
sold out
“Worked” for me, except the card I received has $0 value, Groupon says talk to Starbucks. Starbucks says talk to Groupon. Looks like I’ll be talking to Paypal/credit card company about reversing the charge.
IT WORKS, THANKS SO MUCH!
another tip: clear cookies and open groupon site and open a private window, then sign in your account, you will see the ad about $10 SB e-gift card for $5 on top of screen. and click and buy, it will works! I tried 3 times with different accounts!
Saw this posted on another message board on 3/30/18. I accessed the Groupon site via the link above, and was able to score 1 SB giftcard to my account immediately. I did not get an email about it, nor did I see this particular offer on the Brad’s Deals site. Thank you very much for the link and looking out for those wishing to save a buck.
Just worked for me. You can do it on multiple accounts as long as you clear cookies in between and use different cards to pay. I just did 4. I’d suggest loading them onto your Starbucks app, then doing a balance transfer to the main card on that app – that way they can’t retroactively decide to drain the cards and issue refunds.
Worked only after I tried Chrome incognito mode. Instructions worked perfectly: sign into Groupon, click on Facebook shop now link, etc. Deal is still alive as of 5:30PM Eastern on Good Friday. Thanks!
worked just now. Did one this morning as well using same link on a diff acct and diff PC. Both had not worked 2 days back using SD link..
So no its not sold out. Try incognito window if regular wont work.
Thanks doc and Eric.
Eric needs to win commenter of the month for his tip. I’ve never been able to get one of these deals before. Thanks
The trick just worked for me too!
