Starbucks for Life. I Won…

…a Peppermint Brownie Cake Pop. Nope, not the free Starbucks for Life grand prize. Seems like every Starbucks Rewards member got a free code, but I didn’t win. My win came from an iced coffee purchase and entering in the long code on the bottom of the receipt.

Playing this contest is kinda weird. First you go to the Starbucks Play site. Then you enter in a long, long code (or copy & paste from an email). Then you have to answer a CAPTCHA-like question.

Getting past this CAPTCHA on a mobile device, you then erase the glitter to see what’s underneath. On mobile Safari, don’t get too excited with your swipes and trigger a back swipe in the browser.

Most times, you’ll see the consolation entry for a chance at the Starbucks for Life giveaway. Hopefully, you do see a prize or two (like a cake pop) come your way.

Up to two entries per day, and I don’t know if the codes expire at the end of the day, meaning be sure to enter your codes right away. You can also request a code without making a purchase. Good luck!
