Here's the thing-I love coffee, but I refuse to pay for it. Starbucks is my favorite, but it's SO expensive! I have discovered a few tricks that allow me to order coffee for FREE! The secret to getting cheap Starbucks is starting with the app. This app allows you to load money on a prepaid Starbucks card, order your drinks, and earn rewards to spend in store. Each week the app has different bonuses that allow you to collect extra stars. (Stars can be used to buy free drinks). Below is an example of bonus star opportunities in the app now!
Once you make a purchase (with the connected card), check your email for the message below. If you take a quick survey answering how your trip was, they'll reward you with even more bonus stars!
One of the best ways to earn rewards points that people usually don't know about is the "Starbucks Games." The app will notify you of these when they come around throughout the year. Right now the "Starbucks Summer Games" is going! The trick is that you DON'T have to make a purchase to play the game! Starbucks has advertised the game to look like you get a "turn" when you buy a drink. If you scroll to the fine print (bottom) of the game page, you'll see "no purchase necessary" and a link where you can request game plays every day! This is how I use the game to earn free drinks without actually spending any money. The image below is the page you should go to in order to request game plays! You can play the game here: https://www.starbuckssummergame.com/#/landing
To get FREE money loaded onto my app, I usually redeem a Starbucks giftcard from the Ibotta, Shopkick, or Discover App. You can read complete instructions of how I do this here: https://www.makingmoneywithmattie.com/post/free-apps-that-will-pay-you
Don't forget, your order is always free on your birthday when you have the app!
Hopefully this helps you cut back on your coffee break spending!
xoxo,
Mattie
