Listen, we all want free Starbucks every day, am I right? But we don't always have the 200 Starbucks Rewards points racked up in order to get a free handcrafted beverage. That’s why I'm tracking all the current Starbucks offers and discounts, including all the major Starbucks deals happening this month.
On Feb. 10, we saw the FIRST deal at Starbucks since late summer 2024. Starbucks Rewards members could use the in-app coupon on Monday, Feb. 10 to get a free small hot or iced coffee. This deal has since ended, but we're hoping to see some more Starbucks Monday deals very soon.
The Starbucks winter menu is still going strong, and five drinks were added to the lineup on Feb. 4. There are three new refreshers and two returning Valentine's Day faves. No Starbucks deals on those babies yet, but keep earning your Starbucks Stars, because 200 of 'em will get you a free handcrafted bevvy.

Year-Round Starbucks Offers
Free Refills in the Cafe
With the new Starbucks refill policy, customers who visit in-store and order any drink with a personal cup or a for-here cup can get a FREE refill of hot or iced coffee or tea during that same visit.
Bonus Star Rewards Offers
Check your app for account-specific offers based on your Starbucks habits. You'll see a lot of Bonus Star offers in the Starbucks Rewards app through the end of the year. You'll activate these offers in your Starbucks app and earn Stars by completing purchases at Starbucks. For example, I currently have an offer where I'll earn 90 Bonus Stars for buying things I almost always buy when I visit Starbucks: any cold brew, any bakery item, and a Strawberry Creme Frappuccino (which I always buy my daughters).
Birthday Rewards
Make sure to enter your birthday when you sign up for Starbucks Rewards. The free Starbucks birthday drink reward is a free handcrafted drink (regularly $5.95), bottled beverage (regularly $4.95), or food item (regularly $7.25) on your birthday. It’s one of the best Starbucks Rewards perks.
Starbucks Rewards
Most Starbucks offers are for Starbucks Rewards members who have an active account in the Starbucks app. But what does being a member of the Starbucks Rewards Program actually get you? Unfortunately, not as much as it used to. In February 2023, the coffee chain updated its rewards program requiring more Stars for certain purchases. Coffee — which was a 50 Star item — became worth 100 Stars. That being said, this is still a very worthwhile loyalty program if you're a Starbucks fan.
You earn two Stars for every $1 spent when you add a Starbucks gift card to your Rewards account and use it to pay. Or get one Star for every $1 spent when you pay with cash or credit, using the “Scan Only” feature in the app.
Other Starbucks Offers and Promotions We've Seen
Starbucks Triple Star Days
Starbucks Double and Triple Star Days happen sporadically throughout the year, but in September 2024 we saw them every Tuesday.
Be sure to check your Starbucks app early and activate the offer so you're all set to earn your Stars during the promotions. You earn triple points on all your Starbucks purchases, helping you reach your free Starbucks goals more quickly.
2 Drinks for $10 or 4 Drinks for $20
This isn't one of my favorite Starbucks deals, but it's worth grabbing if you're already planning a coffee run. At best, you'll save around 30% on a drink during this sale, which is well under my usual goal of 50% off.
Each of these deals works out to $5 a drink. To get the best value out of this deal, you need to order drinks that have a menu price over $5. Customizations and add-ons cost extra, so be sure the regular price is over $5 to get an actual deal.
Here are some options to get the best value at the $5 price point.
Iced Venti Pumpkin Cream Chai (reg. $6.75) — 26% off
Iced Venti Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (reg. $6.75) — 26% off
Iced Venti Pecan Crunch Oatmilk Latte (reg. $6.45) — 22.5% off
Iced Venti Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino (reg. $6.45) — 22.5% off
Iced Venti Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso: (reg. $6.45) — 22.5% off
$3 Handcrafted Drinks
This is my favorite offer at Starbucks, and it's the best value when you order venti drinks — especially Frappuccinos. During the next $3 event, activate the coupon in your Starbucks app and order any menu-size drink (short, tall, grande, venti, or trenta) for just three bucks from noon - 6 p.m.
Aim to get at least 50% off to make the most of this deal.
These are the drinks with the best value:
Venti Iced Pumpkin Cream Chai (reg. $6.75) — 55.6% off
Venti Iced Apple Crisp Oatmilk Shaken Espresso (reg. $6.75) — 55.6% off
Venti Iced Apple Crisp Nondairy Cream Chai (reg. $6.75) — 55.6% off
Venti Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino (reg. $6.45) — 53.5% off
Starbucks 50% Off Drinks
For a while this summer, I saw these promos at least once per month — in July I saw one on Friday, July 12, July 23, and then on Aug. 9. There doesn't seem to be a pattern to when we see these Starbucks half-off coupons, but they're usually valid from noon to 6 p.m. when they're happening. Sometimes they offer account-specific coupons to select Rewards members in the Starbucks app.
Starbucks BOGO Events
Check for an offer in your Starbucks app for Starbucks BOGO drinks. You'll have to activate the offer in your Starbucks app, and it will be valid from noon - 6 p.m on BOGO days.
The last BOGO offer I saw was on June 28, 2024. When you see the offer, you can buy one handcrafted beverage and get the second one (of equal or lesser value) free.
Starbucks Offers FAQ
Does Starbucks still do $3 Thursdays?
I haven't seen a Starbucks $3 Thursday since Thursday, Jan. 25. There have been no announcements for another $3 Thursday in the immediate future.
When can I get free Starbucks?
You’ll get Starbucks free coffee when you hit 100 Stars in the Starbucks Rewards app. Or hit 200 Stars to earn a free Starbucks handcrafted beverage.
Starbucks BOGO free events are also a prime time to score a free drink. They typically happen on Thursdays or weekends from noon - 6 p.m.
Does Starbucks offer other discounts?
Yes, I frequently see personalized discounts offered for rewards members in the Starbucks app. The offers are usually app-specific and customers who visit Starbucks less frequently tend to get the better offers (as a strategy to get you back in the store).
I’ve recently seen offers for 40% off your purchase, $2 - $4 off your order, and grande drinks for $4.
