Starbucks Rewards

No, there is no membership fee to participate in Starbucks Rewards™.

The Starbucks Rewards™ Terms of Use can be found here - opens in a new window.

Green members in Starbucks Rewards™ get:

• 2 Stars per $1 spent when you pay with your registered Starbucks Card or your Starbucks Card in the App.
• A birthday Reward
• Free in-store refills
• Pay through the App
• Order Ahead
• Special offers
• Invites to member events

When a Green member collects 300 Stars in 12 months, they reach Gold Status. Gold members collect Stars towards free food or drink items, called Rewards. Redeem 125 Stars for a Reward and enjoy almost anything on the menu for free.

Gold members in Starbucks Rewards™ get:

• All Green-member benefits
• A free drink or food item every 125 Stars
• Monthly Double-Star Days
• A personalized gold card

You’ll reach Gold Status when you collect 300 Stars within a 12 month period.

If you do, we’ll send you a confirmation email. You'll also notice a change in your Starbucks^® app when you reach Gold Status, as your Stars will turn from green to gold and you'll begin to collect Stars towards Rewards (redeem 125 Stars for a Reward to get practically anything on the menu).

You’ll need to earn at least 1 Star a year to be eligible for Green member benefits.

Monthly Double-Star Days are a special benefit for Gold members. Once a month, Gold members will collect 4 Stars for every $1 spent on all eligible purchases when paying with their registered Starbucks Card or registered Starbucks Card in the App at participating Starbucks^® stores.

Every month, we’ll surprise Gold members with a different day to earn double Stars, so be sure to opt-in to email to make sure you know when your day is coming.

A Starbucks card may be a physical Starbucks Card, a digital card on your Starbucks^® app, or an eGift card.

When you sign up for email, we’ll send you personalized offers and promotions, Starbucks^® news and more. Bonus Star offers may help you reach Gold Status or Rewards faster.

To make sure you’re signed up to receive offers from us, or to change your contact preferences, click here - opens in a new window. After signing in, you’ll be taken to your contact preferences page.

If that doesn’t work, try following these steps:

1. Go to starbucks.com/account - opens in a new window and log in if you haven’t already done so.
2. Select ‘My Profile’
3. Select ‘Contact Info’
4. In the ‘My Contact Preferences’ section, make sure the box for “Yes, please sign me up for Starbucks email newsletters and promotions” is selected.

Not necessarily—baristas will not automatically know who’s a member of Starbucks Rewards™ and who isn’t. To collect Stars as a member of Starbucks Rewards™, you’ll need to use your registered Starbucks^® card every time you visit Starbucks. The barista can’t do this for you.

No. Sorry, memberships and Rewards are non-transferable and can’t be shared with family members, friends or others.

Yes, you can register more than one Starbucks Card to your Starbucks^® account and earn Stars for every qualifying purchase you make using both of the registered Starbucks cards.

No, if you received Starbucks store credit cards, they’re not the same as Starbucks Card. Starbucks store credit cards are issued after a return was made, and money is refunded onto these cards. You’ll get to keep the Stars you originally earned with these purchases on your Starbucks Card. However, you won’t be able to earn any more Stars by using these Starbucks store credit cards, and these cards can’t be registered or reloaded for additional value.

We would love to hear from you. Please share your feedback with us on Starbucks Idea - opens in a new window.

You’ll earn 2 Stars for every $1 you spend on coffee, food, drinks, merchandise and more when you pay with your registered Starbucks Card or your registered Starbucks Card in the App at participating Starbucks^® stores.

The Stars you collect as a Green member will expire after 12 months from the day you join the program if you do not reach Gold Status, and your Star balance will be reset to zero.

As a Gold member, the Stars you collect towards Rewards will expire after 6 months. Starbucks will always apply the oldest Stars towards your Reward (redeemed with 125 Stars).

For example, if you earn 10 Stars on June 16 and 15 Stars on June 24, your total Star balance for the month—25 Stars—will expire on January 1.

Yes, your change counts towards partial Stars. We’ll keep track of all your partial Stars and apply them to your total Stars.

For example, if you spend $6.20 (not including tax, tips, alcohol or other exceptions), you’ll earn 12.40 Stars.

The .40 is not always visible (we like to keep things simple), but you can always view your Stars and purchase history at starbucks.com/account/signin - opens in a new window or in the mobile app.

Yes, members receive Bonus Star offers in the Starbucks^® app.

No, members do not earn Stars for loading or reloading their registered Starbucks Card.

Periodically, you may have the opportunity to earn Bonus Stars, generally through member-exclusive offers. Starbucks Rewards™ offers are often specific to our members' preferences so you may see offers with details that are tailored just for you.

For many offers, the Bonus Stars will appear in your account within 24 hours. However, there are some offers in which the Stars are not awarded until a later date. In addition, you may receive a Star Code by email that you have to redeem. Remember to check your email and spam filters to make sure you’re receiving all of your emails from Starbucks. To redeem a Star Code, see here - opens in a new window for more information.

While you can earn Stars - opens in a new window at nearly all Starbucks locations, there are certain benefits that we can only offer at participating stores. This means most of our Bonus Star - opens in a new window promotions can only be awarded for purchases made at participating locations. Specifically, most Starbucks^® stores can provide Bonus Stars while Starbucks^® store locations or kiosks within grocery, book stores or airports may be unable to extend this benefit.

You can earn Stars at over 7,000 participating Starbucks^® stores. This includes most Starbucks locations or kiosks within grocery stores or airports.

You can also earn Stars when you purchase specially marked Starbucks^® coffee in grocery aisles. Specially marked packages of Starbucks^® products will have a sticker on the front of the package or an insert inside the box with a Star Code. If you received a star code, go to http://www.Starbucks.com/Rewards - opens in a new window to enter your Star Code and sign in to your Starbucks Rewards™ account, or create a new account to join.  You may also earn Stars on non-marked, qualifying Starbucks products available in select grocery stores by saving your receipt and visiting www.starbucks-stars.com. - opens in a new window  For a list of qualifying products and their associated Star values, visit www.starbucks-stars.com. - opens in a new window

You can’t earn Stars on card-to-card transactions with your Starbucks Card (such as activations, reloads, transfers or any other card-to-card transactions). Alcohol, taxes, tips, donations and fees are also excluded and ineligible for Star accrual.

Gold members will earn 2 Stars for every $1 spent at participating Starbucks stores. Once they collect 125 Stars, they can redeem them for a Reward (any eligible food or drink at participating Starbucks^® stores). See items eligible for Rewards - opens in a new window.

No Reward coupon will be issued. Just let your barista know and present your registered Starbucks Card or registered Starbucks Card in the App when you’re ready to redeem it.

Gold members can redeem their Rewards for any eligible food or drink item. You cannot redeem a Reward for alcoholic beverages or multi-serve food and beverage items.

Yes. Your Birthday Reward is available after your first transaction and valid only on your birthday. If you’re a Gold member, the Stars you collect will expire 6 months after the month in which they were collected—so be sure to use them when you have enough for a Reward (125 Stars).

After you collect 125 Stars, you can choose to redeem them for a free food or drink item (excluding alcoholic beverages and multi-serve items) at any time before they expire—either choose to redeem your Reward in the Starbucks^® app when using Mobile Order & Pay, or ask your barista when you’re paying at a participating Starbucks^® store.

Once your Reward is redeemed, 125 Stars will be removed from your Star balance. You’ll continue to earn a Reward for every 125 Stars you accumulate. For example, if you have 250 Stars, you’re eligible to redeem two Rewards.

Currently, Rewards can be redeemed at all Starbucks^® company-operated locations in the U.S. and Canada. Some licensed store locations, such as kiosks in grocery stores and other retailers, are not able to redeem Rewards at this time. We’re working with our licensed stores to allow redemption.

If you use your registered Starbucks Card or registered Starbucks Card in the App to purchase a brewed coffee or iced tea and then present that same payment method for a refill, you can get a free refill on a hot or iced brewed coffee or tea during the same store visit at participating Starbucks^® stores.

Once you leave the store, your visit has ended and any subsequent brewed coffee or tea refill thereafter would be considered a new purchase.

Yes. During the same store visit you’ll have to present your registered Starbucks Card or registered Starbucks Card in the App to the barista for your free refill.

As a Gold member, you’re eligible for a Reward every 125 Stars you collect, but you don’t have to redeem it right away and can continue to accumulate beyond 125 Stars.

For example, you can have 250 Stars in your account and redeem two Rewards at the same time.

Note that your Stars do expire, however, so be sure to redeem your Stars for Rewards before that happens. See Star expiration info - opens in a new window.

Watch out for an email notification, check your Rewards status online at starbucks.com/account - opens in a new window, or your Starbucks^® app to track your Stars.

Green members don’t collect Stars towards Rewards. Green members collect Stars towards Gold Status. When a Green member collects 300 Stars, they achieve Gold Status and begin to collect Stars towards Rewards.

Gold members can redeem a Reward after they collect 125 Stars. As a Gold member, you’ll choose when to redeem 125 Stars for a Reward.

No, you can add any registered Starbucks Card to your account, or to the Starbucks^® app to earn Stars for your purchases and receive Gold-member benefits.

No. Sorry, memberships and Rewards are non-transferable and can’t be shared with family members, friends or others.
