Starbucks Star Days: We're Predicting Double Stars This Weekend (May 4 - 5)

Starbucks loves to give away extra points to Starbucks Rewards members, but you’ll especially want to perk up whenever they're offering Bonus Stars or Starbucks Star Days. And we predict a Double Star Weekend coming up on May 4 - 5, 2024.

Get Double Stars at Starbucks this weekend — May 4 & 5.

Another Double Star Weekend to get you that much closer to your next free Starbucks drink. Be sure to activate your Double Star offer before ordering so you get your Stars.

Pay with a Starbucks pre-loaded card to get the most value out of this offer. You'll get 4x Stars per dollar spent when you use a registered Starbucks card. So a $5 drink nets you 20 Stars.

Starbucks Triple Star Days happened on Tuesday, April 26, and there is likely another coming on May 8.

We saw the most recent Starbucks Triple Stars offer on Tuesday, April 23, 2024. And you can expect another one on May, 8 — just a day after the Starbucks summer menu drops.

Be sure to activate your Triple Star offer before ordering so you get your Stars. Some users have even commented that they needed to activate their offer the day before the event or the Stars didn't arrive.

To activate these offers, you must pay using your Starbucks Card or linked payment method in the Starbucks app, or scan your Starbucks app at checkout. The offer is unique and exclusive to each Rewards account.

You earn double Stars when you pay with a Starbucks gift card.

When you preload a Starbucks gift card and add it to your Starbucks Rewards account, you can get double the Stars on all your Starbucks Rewards purchases. So if you purchase a drink today and pay with a registered Starbucks card, you'll essentially earn 5x Stars — a $5 drink (pre-tax) would earn 30 Stars.

That means you’ll be that much closer to getting your free Starbucks drinks.

Starbucks Rewards members get Double or Triple Star Days throughout the year.

Starbucks has Double Star Days where rewards members can earn double Stars on all your purchases that day (and even rarer are Starbucks Triple Star Days). These days are randomly promoted throughout the year and are hard to predict.

Here’s when Star Days occurred in the last six months:

• April 23, 2024 — Triple Star Day

• April 20 - 21, 2024 — Double Star Days

• April 10, 2024 — Triple Star Day

• Mar. 5, 2024 — Triple Star Day

• Jan. 23, 2024 — Triple Star Day

• Jan. 16, 2024 — Triple Star Day

• Jan. 9, 2024 — Triple Star Day

Based on these dates, we predict the next Starbucks Triple Star Day will be the second week in May — likely on or around May 8, 2024.
