Please note this is a personalized promotion according to the Starbucks Rewards email, so different people will get these at a different day during the month. The point of the post is that the Double Stars Days have began rolling for Starbucks Rewards members, so keep an eye for them in your email.
You will receive an email the day before announcing that tomorrow is your Personalized double stars day. I do not know if each person has the same date each month, or it randomly changes. We will know for sure by the end of May 2016 🙂
The email will say something like this (screenshot):
The new regular is 2 stars per dollar, so with this promotion you get 4 stars per dollar. If you are a regular coffee and tea drinker, this brings it to nearly the same level back when one transaction was one star.
Strategically this is a great time to buy more expensive items, bags of coffee beans, boxes of tea, coffee mugs, etc. For transactions of $5+, the new Rewards program is actually much better than the old Rewards program. For example, if you bought a coffee machine with the old system, you only got one star. With the new system, your stars are a percentage of the purchase price, and a coffee machine is a lot more expensive than $5 🙂
Speaking of coffee machines, Starbucks has seasonal special promotions on them, so if you don’t need them right away, you may want to wait for a seasonal promotion. Mother’s Day is coming, they may have some specials by then!
