Card Naming

On this page we will try to keep track of name changes to cards. When they first appear it isn't always known what they are called officially; once we find out we sometimes make changes. Such changes are listed here.

How to Make Coffee (HTMC) to Coffeehouse Favourites

  

It has been decided to change the name of one of Starbucks most prolific core cards from How To Make Coffee (HTMC) to Coffeehouse Favourites. This is because the intention of the site is to name cards as closely as possible to the official Starbucks name, which in the case of this card is printed on the box as Coffeehouse Favourites (see photo below).



The card has been known for some time by both names, and the reason that the HTMC name was initially given is that the first appearance of the design was in Japan where a mini version was given to delegates attending a seminar organized by Starbucks on .... how to make coffee!

At that time it was not known that the design was going to be a generic core card, and apparently some Japanese dealers made the obvious connection and named it How To Make Coffee when listing on eBay etc.
