-Valid for new members only.
To join you can either:
-Pick up a Starbucks Card from your local store and register it online. A $5 minimum load is required.
-Download the Starbucks mobile app, create an account, and get a digital card.
By using your card once you will also get 1 free drink (with no limit on its value!) or food item on or around your birthday.
Otherwise the program is pretty lousy, you need to use your card 25 times just to reach “Gold” which only gets you a free drink or food item after using your card every 12 times thereafter. Remember that if you are buying more than 1 item to pay for it separately as every purchase counts as a credit towards free items.

I wouldn’t say its lousy. You’re buying your daily coffee anyway, it’s nice to get a free one once in a while.
@dave:
True, but the fact that it takes 37 purchases for someone starting until they get any benefits is very steep.
Was better when they had free soy+syrup.
What can you do if you have a Starbucks card …. Besides opening up a new one ?
I just did it like 4 times with different email addresses.
Im gonna start working with my wifes emails now. Thnaks dan
I wonder if I can transfer the gift cards to one account
@david G:
you mean open up an acct for $5 then get $5 free? not bad for 50% starbucks drinks special!!!
I am signing out, and making new accounts. then emailing myself the gift card. its awsome. I wonder how long till they shut me down
@david G: you mean from cell phone? how do you email gift card.
lol i have the app, so I egift the money to my main email address. and then follow the steps from my gmail inbox to apply the gift to my “main” account.
I just signed up with 4 different email addresses. What’s stopping me from doing this 200 times?
@kyle: only starbycks themselves.
@kyle:
morals?
@david G:
Can you do it without the app?
I agree with @chaim morals are a large part of life.
but for those of you who dont care, noones stopping you, just remember that theres always someone watching.
How do i transfer my gift card to my starbucks card
whats stopping you is- jewish guilt! thats about it. so keep going until feel a lil guilty and then you stop at that point lol. my guilt kicked in after 3…but im tempted to do another 3. but its an administrative burden remem all my birthdays!
I’m holding at 150…all in 1 account!!
Can anyone tell me how to do this step by step?
@mendy: isnt that stealing?
not when they charge u you 5 bucks a drink
What stops sbux from cancelling your main account saying there is suspicious activity?
I downloaded the iPhone app and was about to add $5 but the lowest option is $10 so i decided not to.
it then showed my balance $5 without me adding any $
So, if you get a card in store, its spent $5, get $5. if you download on the phone, its $5 for free?
I think the program is pretty good. I always take advantage by buying discounted gift cards and taking advantage of all kinds of promos. In January, every 6th drink was free.
@david: I have an android mobile app..how do you egift it..i do not see any options of egift.. can you please guide me on how to do it?
I’ve got some empty cards, but getting a message: “Oops, something has gone wrong!
To activate a card, you must load it with the minimum balance in one of our stores”

@anonymous:
u screwed it up
@Ari: no i didnt screwwwwww it up and i was smart i put $50 on each card starbucks said they are taking away all cards over $100!
@Anonymous: Where do you see starbucks saying it?
Where do they say they are doing that?
They closed my account, do I lose my gold status and rewards I had on the account?
@Dead: I called them because my friend had $490 on a few accounts and all her accounts are locked… They said It will be locked for 4 days because they are taking away All $5 merges if over $100
@Anonymous: prob not they said i will be put back to the way it was before it was merged.
can you buy a Starbucks card with a Starbucks gift card?
Yes, I’ve bought a gift card with a gift card before.
Is it still working for people? I noticed that the last account I signed up had $0 for a while and then $5 today. but when I tried a new account it is still at $0.
Dan
I downloaded the app and created a new virtual card and added $10 but it didnt add $5
What should i do?
Please try to respond
why do u have to merge, take screen shots of all ur cards. then everyone that gets used delete the pic.u usually don’t spend more the $5 per time anyway.
