Starbucks Gold Card Gotcha

, ,

For members of the Starbucks Rewards program that replaced Starbucks Gold, in order to collect points, you need to pay with your Rewards Card. If you use another Starbucks payment card, you won’t receive your points even if you show your Rewards Card.

Yes, you can consolidate cards, transferring the balance of a Starbucks card to your Rewards Card, but it’ll take a bit of time with the cashier. And a bunch of stink eyes glaring at you as you hold up the line of caffeine-addicted patrons wait for their coffee fix.

The 90’s Was My Kicks Era

, , , ,

Over on Slam Online, they’re reminiscing the top basketball kicks from the 80’s, 90’s, and now. Without a doubt, the 90’s was my kicks era. Let’s check them off:

    Nike-Air-Max-Uptempo

  • And1 Tai Chi
  • Nike Air Max Penny
  • Nike Air Flight Huarache
  • Air Jordan XI
  • Nike Zoom Flight (not really, but I had the cheaper versions)
  • Nike Air Max Uptempo (the OG colorway is the best)

A very nice stroll down the kicks memory lane indeed.

All You Need Is Love

, ,

Since you’re ready for love & peace and unity, you know that All You Need Is Love. That’s the name of the Christmas CD you get at Starbucks with a purchase of $15 or more. This four-track CD features:

  • Playing for Change
  • U2
  • Dave Matthews
  • John Legend

With your purchase and CD gift, Starbucks will donate $1 to the Global Fund to fight AIDS in Africa. Go ahead and indulge. It’s not that hard to spend $15 at Starbucks. Why not try the new Caramel Brulee Latte and get a bag of the Christmas Blend? Like this.

I got my love, how about you?

What Will Rod be Rockin’?

, , , ,

I thought Roderick Flemings’ gold TS Commander LT Adidas was going to be his kicks of choice for the season. But no, Rod has a surprise in store.

Flemings said he is waiting for his own “special order” to come in. “These shoes were just, uh, temporary,” Flemings said. “I got ’em over the summer (as a counselor at the adidas camp in Dallas). But you gotta wait to see the ones I’m going to wear this season.”

Can’t wait to see what Rod’s really gonna rock.

Some notes from the Bows first game. No names on the backs of jerseys. Interesting. Jeremy Lay looks like the second coming of Troy Bowe. Dwain Williams is a twig. Barring serious injuries, Hawaii can’t finish last in the WAC. Petras Balocka got to stop with those weak low post toss up shots. Rod was golden with 23 and 12 though against overmatched opponents. Hawaii’s missing that mid range game Bill Amis would have provided.
