This is going to be a quick giveaway for the card shown: It’s loaded with $30. Please follow the instructions. First off, your comment must be posted and appear below before 6:00 PM February 1, 2016, Pacific Standard Time. You can say whatever you’d like in the comment but you must subscribe to one (or more) StarbucksMelody.com production and tell me which site(s) you subscribed to. The four StarbucksMelody productions are as follows: (These are the only 4 that count in this giveaway. You have to be a new subscriber to one of these 4 sites.)
- StarbucksMelody.com – Updated three times a week, very consistently. It has a little bit everything, including test products, coffee tastings and education, giveaways, new store information and more.
- TeavanaMelody.com – Updated about once a week. It’s usually the same Teavana stories that appear on StarbucksMelody.com. (This is actually a Squarespace site, and not a WordPress site, for those who are curious.)
- ExploreStarbucksReserve.com – Updated haphazardly. Pure coffee information.
- PetsOfStarbucks.com – It’s updated in waves. It really depends on when people send me cute photos of their cats and dogs involved in Starbucks fun. The picture submissions seem to come in waves!
I don’t care which of the four (or hopefully you’ll subscribe to more than one) websites you subscribe too.
You may only enter once. You must be over the age of eighteen (18), and have an address in the United States. Void where prohibited. If you don’t claim your prize within one week of me posting the winner (I’ll do so as an edit to this article, as well as in the comments) then you forfeit any prize. Any forfeited prize goes back to the blog owner (me). (Most people are really quick to tell me they’ve won, if they did win!). No substitutions available. You must post your comment before there are 200 comments on this blog post – I doubt it will get to be that many, but if there are 200 comments, the contest is closed. This contest closes at 200 comments or February 1, 2016, at 6:00 PM (PST) whichever comes first. Please use a valid email address when you enter. This is for new email subscribers only.
Use the same email to subscribe as to make your blog comment. I’ll be able to see the very most recent subscribers in my subscriber list.
I never sell lists, or use them for any purpose other than to keep you up-to-date on the latest Starbucks news.
Good luck!
Edit on February 6, 2016:
Winner! Thank you Jamie for drawing a winner!

Wow, first comment? Melody, you are wonderful and so are your blogs and blog posts. Keep them coming!! Love love love!
Edit – Reply by Melody – Hi Soon! I love doing giveaways, and keep them coming like at least one every couple of months! Unfortunately, your comment isn’t a valid entry. You didn’t tell me which of the four site(s) you subscribed to.
I currently follow 2 of your blogs I didn’t know about the other’s .. Love all the wonderful information you provide 🙂
Reply by Melody: This is not a valid entry. Following a blog is not subscribing to a blog. Please let me know which of the four site(s) you entered your email address into to newly subscribe to.
What a nice thing to do 🙂 I love visiting Teavana stores but I find they’re just a little bit too expensive for me to purchase things regularly. Even with our 30% partner discount it doesn’t go as far as I wish it could 🙁 I’ve subscribed to StarbucksMelody.com for several years now. It started with my interest in learning more about test products so that I can share them with my co-workers. Here I am on the cusp of my 10 year anniversary with the company (February 9th!) and I still read all I can about the things happening around the country and the world. Thanks Melody!

Reply by Melody – Hi Amanda! First and foremost, congrats on 10 years! That’s impressive!!! I’d love to put your name in the hat for the gift card but I don’t see your email address on any of the lists. I think the TeavanaMelody.com is the easiest one to subscribe to (they’re all easy, but the TeavanaMelody site is not a WordPress site and set up slightly differently than the others). Hope you see this soon!
***********************PLEASE READ***********************
You have to newly subscribe to one of the four sites to enter. Just telling me you follow or having an existing subscription to StarbucksMelody is not a valid entry.
I’m a long-time subscriber to the main site- now I’ve just joined the teavana one. It’s timely too, as I’ve just had to change my habits a bit, as the acid in the coffee is too much for me in a regular basis – so the teavana teas are now coming into my routines… I especially enjoy the white/youthberry tea with honey & cream!
PS. I have an address in the US to receive the prize if I win 🙂

Thank you so much! – Another valid entry!
Lucky number 7. I’m joining PetsOfStarbucks.com. Only wish I could bring my cat with me to Starbucks. I know drive thru would work, but I think he’d be worried that we were going to the vet instead. 🙂

I’ve been following your main site, but just subscribed to your Teavana blog. Haven’t had much tea in recent years, but maybe that will change.

Reply by Melody – Hi Brian! I’m so sorry but this giveaway wasn’t just asking people to give me a statement that they’re an existing subscriber. Actually, one thing I’ve done is tried very hard to move away from Facebook. My Facebook page has very very very low organic reach because of the way Facebook algorithms work. Most people never see what’s new at http://www.facebook.com/StarbucksMelody unless I pay money for “boosted” posts. That drift away from Facebook is one of the reasons I’m trying to get more people to enter an email address and email subscribe! I do appreciate that you’re often here reading what’s new! Best, Melody
This is not a giveaway where you just tell me you’re an existing subscriber: That’s not how you enter. You have to newly-subscribe. If you’re already subscribed to one site, you might like another.
Thanks!
Tried to subscribe to: ExploreStarbucksReserve.com, but that links to:
http://www.seattlesbestmelody.com/2016/01/31/seattles-best-coffee-drizzle-recipe/
I typed the address in manually and subscribed…successfully confirmed. Thanks for another adventure!

Reply by Melody – Hello Kurt – There shouldn’t be any confusion about ExploreStarbucks and Seattle’sBestMelody – And the website http://www.SeattlesBestMelody.com is NOT one of the 4 that count to enter this giveaway. It’s really just an archive site. I see your name on the Explore list. Thank you for subscribing! Another valid entry!

Hi Victoria – I really appreciate that you’re enjoying the blog! This giveaway though wasn’t just a statement that you’ve been an existing subscriber. Sorry!
