Starbucks' Former Gold Card - The 2009 to 2012 Edition

Courtney's Gold Card

The first Starbucks Gold Card program, which began in 2009, came out with this design for their Gold Card Members. 

This past year (2013), Starbucks updated their Gold Card style. 

The newer version has a background of sparkly stars with both a French and English translation on the back for American and Canadian cards. 

Personally, I prefer the older version better ;)

Word to the wise:

If you purchase anything from a Starbucks store even just once a month, PLEASE create a Starbucks account with any Starbucks gift card!

With every purchase, you will receive a star and be one step closer towards having and enjoying the MANY benefits of your own Gold Card!

(If none of what I just said makes any sense, read all the details here)

I, along with many of you I'm sure, had the unfortunate experience of not registering a card earlier. 

Goodness knows how much money I would have saved, and promotions I could have used, if I had done so!

I earned my Gold Card officially on September 28th, 2012. Without a doubt, it will always be a special day in my life. 

Little did I know that only a year and four days later I would begin my first day of training as an official Starbucks partner!

Here's to all of the current and soon-to-be Starbucks Card Members!

Happy Star-Earning!
