What is Triple Star Day?
Triple Star Day is a limited-time promotion where Starbucks Rewards members earn 3X the Stars per $1 spent. And with the new Rewards program earning rates, these add up fast.
On Triple Star Days, you'll get:
-
Green Tier: Earns 3 Stars per $1 spent
-
Gold Tier: Earns 3.6 Stars per $1 spent
-
Reserve Tier: Earns 5.1 Stars per $1 spent
Because the bonus applies to your entire purchase, it can be a good opportunity to place larger orders, grab coffee for coworkers, or pick up food items in order to earn Stars faster than usual.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to activate the Bonus Star offer in your app before you order to earn the Stars.
More Ways to Earn Bonus Starbucks Stars
Triple Star Day isn’t the only way to earn extra rewards at Starbucks. The program also includes a few built-in ways to boost your Star balance:
-
Bring a personal cup: Members earn Double Stars when they bring a reusable cup for their drink.
-
Play games and enter challenges: Starbucks sometimes offers in-app challenges and games that let you earn bonus stars.
-
Reloading your Starbucks card: Members can earn 10 bonus Stars when adding $30 and 25 bonus Stars when adding $50.
Combined with promotions like Triple Star Day, these perks can help members earn free rewards faster throughout the year.
