The holiday game “Starbucks For Life” is back! The game and rules are totally different than last year’s so take a few minutes to try it out:
Play now through January 11, 2016, to try to win Starbucks for life. You can play up to two game pieces per day. What you are trying to do is collect game pieces, and fill up your board with each game piece in the right place.
Your game board will look something like this: (This is a desktop view)
When you can play, the box with the bow will be wrapped in bright red wrapping paper. You click on the box to reveal what is inside. What you hope to have is one of the icons on the right, such as the ornament, candy cane, yeti with red cup, or whatever. When you unwrap the box (by clicking on it), you might not have an icon at all. Many of the plays will result in you earning one or more bonus stars. I just tried it and got one bonus star. When you earn a bonus star, you’ll be sent an email with a star code to enter to get your bonus star(s).
The icons that you’re collecting look like this: (This is only a sample of them, not all)
There are two ways to get a play. First is through a purchase, and the other is free. When you login to Starbucks For Life, if you scroll to the very very bottom, in tiny print there’s a link for how to get a play without a purchase. That’s what I just did so that I could give it a try.
Happy playing! It would be so much fun if one of my readers won a big prize! Of course, the grand prize, is the coveted gold, “Starbucks For Life” card, which gives you a free Starbucks food or beverage, every single day for 30 years. (Alcohol and Evenings Food is excluded). There are 5 grand prize “Starbucks For Life” cards!

Lisa – per the website:
“You can find Star Codes on specially marked packages of Starbucks® products including whole been coffee, ground coffee and Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew™ in select grocery stores.”
I got the gingerbread man and it didn’t fill the piece under Starbucks for a year. It says if you don’t eat him he could help you win Starbucks for a year. What does this mean?
@K – “It says if you don’t eat him he could help you win Starbucks for a year.”
All the pieces have little sayings to go with them, it doesn’t mean anything.
I made two purchases with my card but didn’t receive a game piece. I’m only missing one of each in the year, wee, and month column. Pissed!
@La Shawn – I’m pretty sure anyone who’s been playing regularly is in the exact same position, in terms of game pieces.
I got an email yesterday saying “Earn two plays per day when you make qualifying purchases** through January 11.” Qualifying purchase = any purchase made with a registered card or app. I’ve made purchases the last two days and have received a single playing piece between them. Just one more thing to add to the many problems with this contest.
Ugh, I’ve been getting the same two game pieces for the past week+! Nothing new since December. Oh, well.
BTW, you can also get a free game piece without making a purchase. Go to your Gameboard and then scroll down to the bottom of the page; on the very last line there’s a link:
“To enter without making a purchase, click here”
Lol its over now and im missing one of all of them, im assuming the rare ones, and i only won one bonus star
OH!! I was thinking about the individual cans and bottles of iced coffee that I buy at the grocery. I guess those don’t have the stars. 🙁 Thanks for the reply!
