Beginning April 1, 2014, Starbucks will introduce two new limited cards into their Starbucks card lineup. One card is an Easter Starbucks card. It’s so cute! The classic Starbucks cups are decorated like painted eggs and hidden in grass. Look closely, and you’ll even find a ladybug made it onto the Easter card.
The other card is an Administrative Professional’s Day card. Admin Day this year is April 23rd.
I think both of these cards are very clever. Thank you very much to the Starbucks card collector who sent me this image. I believe this is the first Easter Starbucks card that Starbucks has ever produced. There was an Admin Day card in 2013.
Just as a reminder, you can register any Starbucks card and beginning earning loyalty perks. There are three levels of rewards: Welcome, Green, and Gold. When you reach Gold level, there is no requirement to switch and use the actual physical gold card – I’ve seen that cause confusion. Use whatever card you like, so long as it is registered to your profile at Starbucks.com/card, loaded with money on it, and used to pay for your transaction. At the Gold level of benefits, you’ll earn free rewards which can be used for food or beverages.

Melody, I believe we are getting Mother’s Day gift cards in the UK this week (Mother’s Day is on Sunday 30 Mrch in the UK). I can pick you one up if I see one?
I was never a collector of our cards but in the past year they have been so cute that I have started, let the hording commence!
Oh, so exciting to see these. Looking forward to adding them to my collection. There was an admin card a couple of years ago. It’s primarily indigo with orange accents. Thanks melody for such a great blog!
@dbob – You’re welcome! I appreciate hearing that. 🙂
@Nathan – I bet lots of people are turned into inadvertent collectors of Starbucks stuff. I never planned to collect mugs, cards, and more but it kind of ended up that. People give a few as gifts and it gets you started. 🙂 And I’m sure there are partners everywhere who have haul of stuff in their houses.
Hello, my name is Dad and I’m an inadvertent collector 😉
@Melody, thanks for the heads up.
Melody, I noticed these in one of local locations yesterday along with a sign stating “ask about our new Teavana teas”. There’s so many interesting things going on with the company right now. Looking forward to hear you talk about the Kona reserve blend.
Wow, I love the Easter cards!! What a great Easter gift for my kids that are now too old for egg hunts. I think I’ll get a few empty cups from my local Starbucks store and “dye” them like eggs and then stuff one of these cards into each one for my kids.
@DadCooks, you crack me up!
I too remember an admin. card from a few yrs ago. I think the Easter one will go, for sure.
Thanks Mel for this post. I have both of them and they are pretty. I’m a collector of all the amazing cards Starbucks introduces. Easter card is too cute!!
I too enjoy collecting the cards. I switch them in my wallet based on the season or my mood to amuse myself. Unfortunately, the local baristas toss them into the trash once the balance hits zero if you don’t have your hand out to get it back or you don’t immediately refill it … often without asking first. Then, they refuse to retrieve them from the trash citing health regulations. I’ve always suspected that they were reselling them on ebay 😉 I suspect too that there are a few baristas selling new cards on ebay as well … how else do you explain box quantities of limited run cards 🙁 One of the local shops only puts out single cards afixed to the display and insists that you can’t get a new card without loading it (arguing that you can’t register it without a balance). Silly barista police …
Last xmas I purchased 26 mostly unique $10 cards and it was fun to watch them being compared and swapped (yes, I went off peak).
