Purchase drinks online using "tumbler coupons"
"6700 KRW seasonal drinks and 6500 KRW Java Chip Frappuccino also available for 4000 KRW"
Recently, a method to "get all Starbucks menu items for 4000 KRW" has become a hot topic on social networking services (SNS). The key is that by purchasing a "Starbucks tumbler coupon" traded for about 4000 KRW on portal sites and secondhand trading platforms, customers can order a tall (355ml) size beverage at no additional cost when using it in-store. Additionally, one extra option such as an espresso shot, syrup, or whipped cream can be added for free.
For example, adding an espresso shot (800 KRW) to a Java Chip Frappuccino (6500 KRW) would normally cost 7300 KRW, but using the tumbler coupon allows you to purchase it for 4000 KRW.
However, to use this coupon, you must bring your own personal tumbler to receive the drink. Tumblers from other brands besides Starbucks products are also accepted. If you order a larger size such as Grande (473ml) or Venti (591ml), you must pay the additional cost, and some products like bottled beverages are not eligible.
Originally, this coupon is an "Eco Tumbler Drink Coupon" given as a gift when purchasing a tumbler at Starbucks. Most of the coupons circulating in the market are sold separately by some online sellers without the tumbler. Searching "Starbucks tumbler coupon" on portals like Naver reveals many specialized gift certificate sellers. Moreover, buyers of this coupon have left thousands of transaction reviews.
According to Naver search results, the price of tumbler coupons varies, forming a range of 3900 to 6000 KRW depending on consumer demand. Experts say this is a typical recession consumption pattern but advise caution against fraud.
