LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Starbucks is unveiling a new rewards program Tuesday, one which will give members more stars based on what they buy as opposed to how often they visit.

Members will now earn two stars for every dollar spent, instead of one star per visit.

Freebies will now be 125 stars, as opposed to 12 stars, which means customers will have to spend about $63 before getting a free drink.

What won’t change, though, are free birthday drinks and refills on brewed coffee and tea.

Today's the last day of the old school Starbucks rewards program omg this transition won't be easy send prayers.

We live in a world where people who have never protested human rights abuses are protesting Starbucks' rewards program on Twitter.

Tomorrow we say goodbye to our beloved Starbucks rewards and transition into the stupid new one

I now have to buy 63 Brewed coffees instead of 12 to get a reward?? Thanks for showing 'loyalty' to your customers #StarbucksRewards
