New Starbucks Rewards Launches Today = Score Gold Status After First Purchase

UPDATE – If you are not seeing the newly updated rewards program on your phone, try installing the new update and then relaunching the app.

Today, April 12th, Starbucks is launching the all new Starbucks Rewards program! And through May 2nd, head over here, sign up for Starbucks Rewards if you are not yet a member and you’ll score automatic Gold Status after your first purchase when you pay with the Starbucks App or a registered Starbucks card. If you are an existing member, Starbucks has multiplied your Star balance by 11 to reflect the change and you will keep your existing membership level.

With this new program, you’ll earn 2 Stars for every $1 you spend on coffee, food, drinks, and mugs AND Gold members will snag a FREE Reward for anything on the menu once you earn 125 Stars. Plus, Starbucks will be introducing monthly Double-Star Days where Gold members will earn 4 Stars for every $1 spent on all eligible purchases.

If you are planning to head to your local Starbucks today, you may receive a card with Bonus Stars. Hip2Save readers, Joe and Sammie, went to their local Starbucks today and each received card with a Star Code worth 35 bonus stars!

Thanks Hip2Save!
