How To Get A Free Crystal Ball Frappuccino
While Starbucks has yet to confirm the existence of the Crystal Ball Frappuccino, numerous barista-approved Instagram posts featuring the tie-dye drink seem to say "outlook good." And if you do a little shopping before they hit stores Thursday, you could snag one for free.
Shopkick, a free shopping rewards app, is promoting a deal to earn a $5 Starbucks gift card - about the price of a tall Frappuccino, depending on where you live. To get the deal, you first have to download the app, which you can do here. Then, invite a few friends. For each person that joins and uses the app, you'll get 250 "kicks."
You'll need 1270 kicks to redeem a $5 Starbucks gift card, so after you pester your friends, check some errands off your to-do list. When you scan products and make purchases at stores like Sam's Club, Walmart, CVS, Kroger, and TJ Maxx, you'll get more kicks.
