Starbucks Loyalty Rewards The first Starbucks opened in 1970 in Seattle, Washington. The demand for its coffee grew, and Starbucks added more than 6,000 stores located in over 30 countries. In its more than 30-year history, Starbucks has never given out coupons for its coffee. Starbucks needed only to make its coffee and customers came. Recently, consumer quality perception of the Starbucks brand has started to fall. Starbucks started a consumer response blog to learn more about what consumers expect from Starbucks. One of the most common requests was for a customer rewards program. In response, Starbucks started My Starbucks Rewards, which offers free refills on brewed coffee, free beverage with whole bean purchase, beverage customization, and free Wi-Fi. Starbucks also put coupons in a national newspaper for those consumers who love coupons and created a new brew of coffee for those who prefer a milder coffee taste.
