Starbucks Offers Free Coffee to Dissatisfied VIA Buyers

Starbucks is so sure you will like their VIA instant coffee that the company is challenging you to a taste test. Buy any 5-, 6-, 7-, 8- or 12-pack of VIA from a Starbucks or a grocery store and if you don't like it, return it to Starbucks for a 12-ounce bag of free Starbucks House Blend ground coffee.

This offer is valid for VIA purchased between Feb. 2, 2011, and Aug. 31, 2011. The taste-test guarantee is good on VIA black coffee, flavored coffee and iced coffee. Depending on which size of VIA you buy, the cost will range from $5.95 to $9.95, so you are getting a fairly even trade. Use VIA coupons, and get an even better deal.

Make sure to send in the rejected VIA with your original receipt (make a copy for your files), the original UPC bar code and this completed web form.

Caveats: Not valid on VIA 3-, 10-, 24-, and 50-packs. Request must be postmarked by Aug. 31, 2011. Your House Blend coffee will arrive 6-8 weeks after you submit the form. One per household.
