It\u2019s rewarding to be a Starbucks Rewards member!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"starbucks<\/p>\n

On June 24th, Starbucks<\/a> will be updating its Starbucks Rewards loyalty program Terms of Use \u2013 including a big change!<\/p>\n

Starting June 24, Starbucks Rewards members<\/a> (free to join) will earn Double Stars when using a personal cup\u2014replacing the 25 Bonus Stars that have been offered since 2022.<\/p>\n

To qualify, just bring a clean, reusable cup to a participating store and use it when ordering a beverage in-store, at the Drive Thru, or through the app. You can earn Double Stars this way up to three times per day.<\/p>\n

While this sounds like an upgrade, it may not be as rewarding for smaller orders. Unless you\u2019re spending enough to make the Double Stars add up to more than 25, you could actually earn fewer stars than before.<\/p>\n

Starbucks has confirmed it will continue to offer the 10\u00a2 discount for bringing a personal cup.<\/p>\n

\n

Note that this benefit is not available for beverages served in Starbucks-provided \u201cfor here\u201d mugs and glassware. To qualify for this benefit, members must remain \u201cactive\u201d by making at least one star-earning transaction within the prior two years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Starbucks Rewards members get exclusive offers & discounts! \ud83e\udd29<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Whether you\u2019re a regular customer or stop in occasionally, the Starbucks Rewards Program is a must! First of all, it\u2019s completely free to join. You\u2019ll earn points called \u201cstars\u201d with every purchase and get access to all kinds of exclusive offers, including special promotions to earn bonus stars.<\/p>\n

Another good reason to join the Rewards program is that Starbucks occasionally has instant win games where you can score free stars, drinks, gift cards, and more. You need to be a member to reap these rewards, so be sure to sign up for your free accounts!<\/p>\n

How do Starbucks Rewards work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

To get started, create a Rewards account. You can do this online<\/a> or through the Starbucks app<\/a>. Members earn stars on every order (outside of gift cards), and there are plenty of opportunities to earn bonus stars.<\/p>\n

Members receive one star per $1 spent. Stars accumulate and can be redeemed for free food and drinks. Members also score a free birthday treat every year and free brewed coffee and tea refills while in-store!<\/p>\n

What is the Starbucks App?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starbucks Rewards and the Starbucks app go hand in hand, and using the app makes your Starbucks Rewards experience even more beneficial. When you preload money through the app, you\u2019ll receive two stars per $1 spent instead of just one.<\/p>\n

Using the app allows rewards members to customize drinks and place orders for Mobile Pickup in your local cafe. The app also makes it super easy to track how many stars you\u2019ve earned, how many you\u2019ve redeemed, and when they expire. To make your checkout experience a breeze, app users can link payment cards, consolidate Starbucks gift cards, and send Starbucks gift cards to friends, family, co-workers, or whomever!<\/p>\n

Do Starbucks Rewards Expire?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unfortunately, yes. Stars (the points you use to redeem rewards) expire six months after earning them. Luckily, when redeeming Stars for Rewards, the oldest Stars will be applied so that they are less likely to expire before you can use them. Be sure to sign up for emails from Starbucks to be notified when your Stars will soon expire.<\/p>\n
