Great news! If you are a Gold level member of Starbucks Rewards, this week, you’re earning double stars after 2 PM! That’s the 18th through the 24th, earn 4 stars for every dollar spent, not 2 stars!!! (I believe it’s 2 PM to close, so for 24-hour stores, that’s usually 2 PM to midnight.).
If you haven’t joined the Starbucks loyalty program, just grab any card at the register, ask the barista to put $5 (or more) on it. And then register that card here:

Just a reminder as to how the new program works. On the Starbucks app, it no longer tells you how many star rewards you have. Remember, you can use your rewards towards food and drink inside the Starbucks stores (excluding beer and wine), an ounce of tea at Teavana stores, or any bottled juice at Evolution Fresh stores. Essentially you redeem 125 of your total star total towards a reward. (I’m pretty sure this is how it works).
To know how many stars you have, take your total number of stars and divide it by 125:
It appears that I have 3 rewards right now. You must redeem your stars before they expire, which is a rolling 6-month time frame.
For extra fun, double tap the star cup on the app. The cup will explode leaving you only stars!
I’m not sure why that’s so entertaining! LOL
Enjoy your double stars after 2 PM this week! It’s the first double star promotion under the new Starbucks Rewards, which launched April 12th!

Ms melody..
There is a new button on the register that says redeem stars. A barista tried to redeem both a reward and a birthday reward for me this weekend. She told me I had no reward and it did not work. After I showed her on my app that I had more than enough stars she finally located the redeem the stars button. She did not know there was a change to the program until I kept telling her.
@Sam Choi – Wow. I believe it though.
I haven’t yet redeemed stars but I’m going to this morning on my way to work. We’ll see how it goes!
So right now we have three star promos running concurrently, all within ONE WEEK of the new program kicking off. Any one purchase over the next month gets you gold for a year. Come in n consecutive days and get 10n bonus stars (the Star Routine, used to be called the Star Dash). And now double stars for a week, after 2pm (when all along the suggestion was each gold member got 1 double star day a month) Any way you look at it,this is clearly damage control. I always said, I would not be buying anything at Starbucks without a promo from April 12 onward. Looks like there will always be promos running to negate the effects of that “free drink every $62.50 spent, vs $24 under the old one” debacle.
Yeah, it definitely looks like requalifying for gold will not require anywhere close to $150 in spending.
And now the business media is saying spending at Starbucks is up after the change in the program. Conveniently ignoring these three concurrent promos going on. If the new program started off as originally announced – one double star day a month per customer, reward every $62.50 spent, need 300 stars to get gold status – I think they’d be singing a different tune right now.
Calwatch: Yeah, you can get Gold status buying a $1.50 cake pop…. I wish other retailers would have 99% off sales like that more often!
