Starbucks had a false start a couple of days ago with a broken Rewards Bingo challenge. But as of the time of writing, they have fixed it! This is an opt-in promotion, you must activate it by following the prompts in their email or app. You need a Starbucks Rewards account and you use your Starbucks login to connect the Bingo to your Rewards activity.

You can find all the details at the Bingo page.

The promotion runs between October 12 until November 1st in 2017 at participating Starbucks stores.

This is a return of a similar promotion they run a few months ago. If you are a frequent Starbucks visitor, it’s easy to pile up the bonus stars. You can earn a maximum of 350 bonus stars. That’s almost three FULL rewards, worth over $20 in foods or drinks if you redeem your rewards for the most expensive items (eg the $8 new salad trays or fancy drinks).

If you are participating in the Starbucks Rewards program, and go there almost every day, you may be interested in a new “Visit Streak” promotion. You earn bonus stars if you visit on consecutive days during the October 10-16 in 2017 period. If you visit every day, you get the maximum 100 Bonus Stars. If you visit fewer days in a row, you get less as outlined in the screenshot below:

So the way the promotion is structured, you can’t miss Thursday, Friday and Saturday, because they are in the middle of the promotion, and you can’t have a 5-day streak without all three of those days.

As usual, make sure you activate the offer first! This is not an automatic offer!

If you are a Starbucks Rewards member, this is an easy way to scoop up 30 Bonus Stars. All you have to do is buy three iced teas of any kind at Starbucks between October 3-9 in 2017. This too is a promotion that needs to be activated first. Check the Starbucks app or your registered email account to activate it first!

If you don’t activate it, you won’t get the bonus stars!

Starbucks Rewards are back with another afternoon dash promotion! If you are eligible for this promotion, you should find this in your email or the Starbucks app inviting you to join or activate. You must needs first join/activate before you earn the bonus!

The bonus is as before. Between September 5-11 (those two dates included) in 2017, AFTER 2pm Local Time, if you make 4 or more purchases you’ll earn 50 Bonus Stars (in addition to the regular stars), OR if you make 6+ purchases, you’ll instead earn 100 Bonus Stars.

Their computer systems will first get award you the 50 Bonus stars once you reach the 4 purchases tier. And once you get to 6+, they’ll send you another 50 Bonus Stars. You won’t earn any additional bonus stars whether you have 6 or 60 purchases during the promotional period.

If you are a Starbucks Rewards member, check your emails! A new promotion (you must find the promotion with the “Join the Dash” button) offers you 50 Bonus Stars (in addition to the regularly earned stars) when you buy two Warm Sandwiches.

NOTE that Breakfast sandwiches are NOT eligible. The Starbucks rewards promotion has a goofy way of describing these that may be confusing to the average person because their terms go against common use of terms like “warm sandwich” 🙂

One time bonus per customer during this promotion. Meaning whether you buy two, four or ten or 33 sandwiches during this promotional period, you will only receive 50 bonus stars.

If you like to eat lunch or dinner at Starbucks, and you are participating in their rewards program, and you received an email to join this promotion, you can get 100 Bonus Stars if you buy products from three specific product categories between August 22-28 in 2017. You must first join the offer (aka challenge).

You must needs buy one item from each category:

• any warm sandwich (excluding breakfast sandwich)
• any breakfast sandwich
• any Evolution Fresh Juice

If you are a member of the Starbucks Rewards program, a new “After 2PM” (local time) Dash promotion is back. As before, check your emails or the app to make sure you are invited to participate. You must first manually activate the offer (easier than it sounds, just press the “Join the Dash” button).

After you do that, if you make 4 or 6 purchases after 2pm local time, between August 15-21 in 2017, you will earn either 50 or 100 points. The offer does not restart, so if you make more than 6 purchases, you won’t earn additional bonus points. You’ll still earn the usual rewards on the purchase amount.

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.

If you are participating in the Starbucks Reawrds program, there is a new promotion running that you have to first manually activate and it is by email invitation, so YMMV if you are offered it. If you purchase two protein boxes between August 8-14 in 2017, you will earn 50 Bonus stars in addition to the regular stars.

With the two new salad trays arriving at Starbucks at $7.50 and $8, the value of each Rewards Point has increased, assuming you are planning to redeem your rewards towards them. So assuming you keep getting the $8 salad tray, one Rewards Point is worth 6.4 cents!

The calendar is collaborating for this promotion. For the first week of August 2017 (1-7), they are bringing back the “After 2pm” Dash offer. As usual, you must first activate the offer for your account by clicking on the link in the email or the app. Once activated, you will earn 50 bonus stars if you make four separate purchases, OR 100 bonus stars if you make six or more separate purchases.

As before, the offer is stackable with any other promotions they may be running over there. And given how the two reward tiers are set up, once you get to four, you double the bonus stars by buying an extra two items.

Items paid with Rewards (as far as I can tell) do not count rewards-wise.

If you want to reach the Starbucks GOLD Rewards Level (that’s the best level with the most rewards), then you have a shortcut! Until the close of business on 7/31/17, if you make a purchase (any purchase) using their app or a registered gift card, you will be upgraded to the GOLD level. The offer is good for GREEN tier rewards members, and for brand new members as well!

PS: the page does not say whether existing GOLD members will get an additional year added to their membership, so assume it won’t.
