The free reusable cup will also give you discounts every time you take it to your local Starbucks.
You'll receive a 25p discount every time you use your reusable cup in the future.
This cup is a limited edition cup, so we can't find an exact price match.
However, the cheapest reusable cup offered by Starbucks on the app at the moment costs £6.60, sized 24oz.
You can find your nearest Starbucks branch using the store locator on its website by visiting www.starbucks.co.uk/store-locator.
What is Starbucks Rewards and how do I sign up?
TO sign up to Starbucks Rewards you'll need to first download the Starbucks UK app.
The app is free, and you can find it on Google Play or the App Store.
Then you need to set up an account - it'll only ask for a few speedy details.
You'll be given a unique barcode on the app, and you can opt for a physical card to scan and use at the checkout.
There's also an option on your app to click and collect if your local store offers the service.
The scheme also offers Stars which earn you free drinks however you pay.
You'll get three stars for every £1 you spend and once you hit 150, you can grab a drink for free.
At 450 Stars you reach a gold level. That means you'll access extra shots of espresso, selected syrups and whipped cream all free of charge.
If you've reached gold level, you can also get a free drink on your birthday and early alerts about new drinks.
