Starbucks Canada sent out an email last night announcing that their rewards program will be launching in Canada next week! Although they already have standard rewards for Canadian Starbucks card holders such as free birthday drinks, refills and beverage customization, you'll now be able to earn points towards free drinks.

Starting October 4, when you use a registered Starbucks card to make a purchase, you will earn a star on your account. The more stars you accumulate, the more rewards you will receive. For more details on available rewards, click here. If you are a regular Starbucks visitor, signing up for this program is a great way to earn a free drink every once in a while.

To make sure you can participate in the program, sign in or create an account, register your Starbucks cards and update your information.
