Easy Bonus Stars for Starbucks Rewards members by using Mobile Order

This is an easy way to score a bonus star with every purchase at Starbucks if you are part of their Rewards program. Earlier today they launched a new promotion, sent to eligible members via email. Between January 6-19 in 2016, for every Mobile Order you place, you will earn a bonus star. This is in addition to the regular star you get from every purchase. The Mobile Order is fairly elaborate, so you may be able to recreate an order even if it’s not as simple as a cup of coffee.

Heck, you can even place a mobile order while you are in the store in-line or in the parking lot. This is a neat trick if there is a long line ahead of you 🙂 When you place a mobile order, a little printer prints it at the register, and it gets in the drinking-making queue right away!

A screenshot from the email with the relevant parts highlighted is right underneath this sentence:

There is no coupon code to enter and you don’t have to manually opt in. The offer activates on its own as long as you are eligible for it. Since the emails are sent to individuals, I do not know if this covers every single person in their Rewards program or they target subsets. More and more retailers and credit card companies these days are experimenting with targeting, so it’s getting harder to tell.
