Around 34 weeks tops , recently 2 max . Has to do with living far from each other , when we are close it never is more than 2 days <| sep |> It is based on the Bluetooth symbol <| sep |> Even if it is a free drink reward , free drink rewards aren ' t cheap . Spending $ 60 or $ 75 at Starbucks to earn a freebie is not cheap . Freebies are often seen as an excuse to get something more expensive , like a double shot of espresso or soy milk or food etc . There are even people who post online about ordering expensive custom drinks for this r e a s o n m o s t e x pensivestarbucksdrinkever . This isn ' t an abuse of the system , this is how free rewards work . Also , as a Starbucks supervisor , I would have absolutely refused to serve someone 20 shots of espresso . If you don ' t like it , then quit . Don ' t abuse the customer for your own employer ' s policies . How pathetic .
