Good news! Starbucks has announced that with every planner redemption, a donation would be given to Typhoon Yolanda victims. Here's a screenshot from their website:
Now on to the post:
Starbucks Philippines started their planner promotion early November. If you already have your card and you drink a cup of coffee a day, you would almost be halfway by now. Chances are, you've already asked your friends to help you with your collection. Getting your planner before December starts is actually easy as I have already claimed 2 of them, with the first one I have given away as a gift. Read on to view some tips to get yours faster. Before your favorite color runs out.
1. Consider getting a Starbucks Card and load it with P5,000.

The cards are free and you earn rewards practically every time you use them. If you really go to Starbucks before and after the holiday season, you should consider getting one. In any case, you would use money to get more stickers for your 2nd planner.
2. Go to Starbucks with friends. It would be very likely that at least one of them wouldn't mind giving their stickers to you.
3. Treat your family or friends for coffee. With a loaded card, you wouldn't feel the pain that much since you would also think that you're getting stickers, stars, and a good conversation.
4. You probably wouldn't do this but I have seen people with highly sensitive hearing approach a customer that isn't collecting to ask for their stickers. It is after all, the season of giving, and begging for some. If you can do this, good for you. Run fast as stickers cannot be issued anymore after the transaction.
5. Do not think of the cost of your drink. Stickers are free and you get full value of what you pay for when your receipts get stamped. Just be really careful of where you store your card.
It also helps if you have a coffee buddy, Plus a family who likes going to Starbucks.
