Starbucks has launched a new pilot program with the promise of thanking their "very best customers." Those proudly toting their Starbucks Gold Card will receive:
- Personalized Starbucks Gold Card
- Exclusive coffeehouse rewards - 2% cash back, reloaded back to the card.
- Exclusive coffeehouse treatment - Your regular beverage information and name is available to the Batista upon swiping the card.
- Exclusive access to a members-only website
- Other indulgences, like a treat on your birthday.
Starbucks presented the pilot program earlier this month to a group of "handpicked" customers with ego stroking language such as "Gold is a status you rightly deserve and will thoroughly enjoy." and "Enjoy the exclusive benefits, and the occasional look of envy."
