August 9 is Starbucks Double Stars Day (YMMV)

I don’t know if every Starbucks Rewards member get the same “Double Stars Day” or they get spread around throughout the month. Check your emails to be sure! Wednesday August 9 is 2017 is, for at least some, Starbucks Rewards members, another double stars day. That means almost everything you guy (gift cards and reloads are NOT eligible; and a few other minor exceptions) get you twice as many points, which means you get a reward by spending half as usual.

Assuming you redeem a reward for an $8 item (eg the new chicken salad platter thing), that means one point is worth around 13 cents during Double Star Days. So this is a good opportunity to restock on coffee beans, tea bags, buy any new cups and mugs you need, K-Cups, etc.
