Yaaay i scored my 1,000 miles! Thank you!
Sweet! Happy to hear you scored Allison!
Such a great deal! ✈️
Thanks for this! Right after I bought my 2nd order, I got an email about my SkyMiles bonus 🥳
You’re so welcome Tia!
Seems like a great deal! Thanks for sharing
You’re most welcome Preethi!
hi I just wanted to say is this free e
Hi Angel! You can earn 1,000 bonus SkyMiles but only when you make a purchase of at least $2, twice in one week at participating Starbucks locations. I hope this helps!
I LOVE your site and check it at least twice a day lol 😁
Thank you for being here Rose!
I’ve linked my Delta acct so u just need to buy $2 worth of SB items twice in a week then you’ll get 1k miles? That’s it?
Hey Sharon! Yes, the SkyMiles will automatically appear in your account within 10 business days, after making two purchases in a week. Hope that helps.
How do one redeem the offer from the discount
Hi Cynthia! When you’re ordering the item in-store, make sure to mention to your barista that you want to use your stars and they will apply the discount for you. If you’re ordering through the app, there should be a little button near the bottom of the payment/cart screen that says “Use [number] Stars. Hope this explains it!
They getting STINGY by the day, it’s technically not even worth it, they’d be better off offering their overpriced products as rewards instead…crazy! Nobody drinking that much Starbucks!
The bring your own tumbler is a hard one for me. I like to order via the app (easy to customize) but no way to say “I’m going to bring my own”. Also how do they know what size to charge?
Hi Kris! I’m not sure how exactly but most cups customers bring to the store are pretty similar in shape and size, Starbucks or non-Starbucks cups. So I believe baristas would know how much your reusable cup can hold.
