Sept 18-21: 8 bonus stars with packaged Coffee or Tea at Starbucks

IF you are a Starbucks Rewards member and if you have received notification (email or app) that you are eligible for this promotion, between September 18-21 in 2015, if you purchase packaged coffee or tea, you will earn 8 bonus stars. The email says you can use this promotion up to ten times during this promotional period. As usual, you have to pay with the Starbucks app or a gift card registered to your Starbucks rewards account.

The screenshot from their email explains the eligible items:

Strategy: assuming you redeem Starbucks rewards for items priced $6 (their most expensive foods or monster drinks with extras), the “value” of a reward star is around 50c. So 8 bonus stars plus the regular star, means you get a $4.50~ value for each packaged coffee or tea item you purchase. Depending on the prices, this may be a pretty pretty pretty good deal (as Larry David likes to say).
