Starbucks = Freedom 5% Bonus!

Maybe I'm late to the party, but I just noticed that Chase gave me the 5% bonus for coffee at Starbucks!  I wasn't sure if this was considered 'dining'. 

 

Now if they could just give me an auto CLI, all would be good! Smiley Wink

Starbucks was last quarter. Did you make the puchase after April 1st? Maybe it is dining...I may have to try.

Not a coffee drinker...but a caramel apple cider would do the trick.

Hmm, I wonder if it would also count if I reload my Starbucks gold card with the Freedom? I'm not missing out on my free drink after a dozen purchases. Smiley Happy

 It works through the app as well. I tried it the other day and got the 5%.

I'm pretty sure it counts as a restaurant this quarter.

Yep - I can confirm Starbucks is considered dining and posting the 5% bonus this quarter.  I have lots of proof on my statement Smiley Happy

Re: Starbucks = Freedom 5% Bonus!

I wasn't sure it counted with auto reload. I cancelled my auto reload and bought a $100 GC in store to divvy up among our cards. Can someone confirm specifically if auto reloads work for 5% in restaurant quarter?
