Deal has expired, but there is a current Starbucks match promotion.
The Offer
- Starbucks Rewards will be offering a Rewards Dash promotion starting March 12th. Rewards members will be able to earn up to 100 bonus stars.
- Make one purchase and get 25 bonus stars
- Make three purchases and get 100 bonus stars
The Fine Print
- Valid from March 12th – March 18th, 2019
Our Verdict
Starbucks is making some changes to redeeming Stars, but currently you can redeem 125 Stars for a free item/beverage so this promotion is almost enough for a free item. Might as well do this deal if you already purchase things at Starbucks.
I have: order 9 times, get 175 stars….
just an FYI: if you have an offer that says “visit X number of times” you can mobile order one item at a time and each order will count as a visit
You can also ring up separately at the register to count as separate visits. We used to do it a lot more with the old rewards program when 12 “visits” would yield a reward.
Unfortunately no luck today so this looks like all their other Star dashes. They are offered constantly & vary wildly between accounts. For instance my current offer is visit 4 times get 25 stars, visit 5 times get 50 stars.
I never received any kind of dash offer for my Starbucks account.
Do I need to subscribe to something or enable something on my app to get these offers?
Sweet! Will check it out mañana!
Not trying to nitpick…I don’t mind the small deals…but Star Dashes? Seriously? They are a weekly (sometimes twice weekly) thing and vary by account.
Not every deal will appeal to every reader, we try to make the title descriptions as accurate as possible. If you don’t like the offer, just move onto the next deal.
I think the main issue is you need to add “Targeted” or “YMMV” for this type of offer as different people get different offers.
Done
I’ll add that I enjoy perusing the site for deals such as this. However, it did take me some time and research to realize that this offer is targeted, even if you already have a Starbucks account.
It may be worthwhile to add a [targeted] or [YMMV].
Good point, fixed
There’s no harm in posting about small deals. If it’s not for you, then just ignore it. Some people may find them useful.
As always, Will and Chuck, thanks for posting ALL deals.
My point was I can literally submit this same deal week after week to them. But hey, if people weren’t already aware of these that are now, then great.
Yeah, I’m sorry, but what is going on here? Like Toad said, most Starbucks members literally get ~2 star dash deals every single week, and they are ALWAYS targeted and vary by member, there is literally zero value in posting them… why are you suddenly posting them now? They’ve been going on for years… did one of you just sign up for your first Starbucks account or something? I greatly appreciate all of the content on this site, but this is overkill and does not provide any added value… what is going on?
I clearly go to Starbucks too often: 6 times for 75 stars, 7 times for 150 total stars. Bummer.
I’ll trade you. I’ve got 5 times for 50 stars.
Hi can someone explain how I earn rewards? I can’t seem to find just a regular loyalty card. Or is it they require you to add funds to your Starbucks Gold card and scan that? Thanks!
Stars are earned by using your registered Starbucks gift card to make purchases, 2 stars per dollar. Once you’ve achieved gold status (300 stars), you can accumulate rewards. Currently, that is 125 stars for a free reward (any food or drink item). The rewards program is said to be changing. There is a post here on DoC that explains those changes.
Thanks Celia! Can I scan a registered gift card that has $0 balance and pay with a credit card or do they require you to add funds to your gift card?
You have to pay with the card so you have to have funds. Only the amount charged from the registered Starbucks card earns stars.
You can use a credit card to make the purchase. The barista can scan your Starbucks card like a loyalty card prior to payment. Alternatively you can text/email/upload your receipt @ https://starbucks-stars.com/en-us/
You got my hopes up for a sec, but it doesn’t look like this is right. Just tried it (scanning the Starbucks card and then paying entirely with a credit card) and it did not count the purchase toward the Dash. It’s true that it doesn’t have to be paid entirely with a Sbux Card, but I’m 99% certain that at least $0.01 must be put on it in order for it to count.
Also, that Starbucks-Stars site is only for sending them receipts for packaged coffee that you buy at the grocery store (ie: whole beans, Keurig K-Cups, etc).
My Dash offer: buy 2x get 25 Stars, buy 4x get 125 Stars. Offers are targeted. Bottom of email says: “This offer is exclusively for NAME”
Got this offer on my account as well.
Seems that Dashes vary based on how frequently you order.
On my secondary SB account (sitting on 5 star rewards but use it from time to time):
“Rack up 200 Bonus Stars just by dashing in 5 times.
On my Main account with all the promos since last fall racked up almost 20 rewards but have been burning through them since announcement of devaluation and down to only three rewards.
“Rack up 75 Bonus Stars just by dashing in 4 times.”
Had a menu challenge for 175 stars that ends today for trying four items. (ATM I’m burnin’ stars rather than earnin’ ) but my secondary the menu challenge was only 150 stars for four items (only one Breaky sandwich).
SB coffee is just “ok” and living in coffee country (PNW) have a ton of choices
