April 26 – May 2: Buy Select Items Get 60 Stars (SBUX Rewards)

This is a pretty good promotion if you are a Starbucks Rewards member and you got an email with this offer. It runs April 26 until May 2nd in 2016, and you have to make a choice before you start using it. There are three different product categories. You have to select from the email the one category you want to participate in. Here’s a screenshot with the relevant parts highlighted in red:

Once you select one of the three categories, you have to buy the listed quantity of items (two or three) in that particular product category during this time period. If you do so, your account will receive 60 Stars by May 13. That’s almost half a reward, think of it as the equivalent of 6 stars under the previous rewards program.

You will only earn one 60 Star Bonus during this promotion. There’s no promo code to mention to the barista, but you have to first select your product category from the Starbucks email.

PS: if you are not certain what qualifies as a “breakfast sandwich”, open the Starbucks app and go to the Orders section and look at the sandwiches there. Sometimes they are grouped together in the display, but not always so. They are probably the best way to get to the bonus since the “Egg and Cheddar” goes for $2.95.
