If you’re someone who religiously visit a Starbucks store, then you would notice the colorful cards at the counter, or your barista maybe asking you if you already own one. I remember the first time I saw these cards, I asked the barista about it and I didn’t leave the store without owning one. I got so amused upon learning about it. Not only can I pay conveniently by using it, I also get to earn stars toward rewards every time I pay using my reloaded card. That is how I started to enjoy using Starbucks Cards and then I decided to collect these cards.
If you haven’t owned one, this is the perfect time to acquire a Starbucks Card. Having this Card allows you to enjoy rewards and benefits from Starbucks. Beginning July 28, 2015, My Starbucks Rewards®, the loyalty program that reward members in meaningful and exciting ways, will have a lot more to offer.
More Rewards Choices:
Just by using a Starbucks Card to pay, customers will continue to earn Stars and receive the following rewards:
- Any Grande handcrafted beverage with up to two (2) add-ons for every 12 Beverage Stars.
Starbucks Reserve® brewed coffee may now be redeemed with 12 Beverage Stars. - Any 250g bag of whole bean coffee for every 10 Whole Bean Stars
Starbucks Reserve® whole bean coffee may now be redeemed with 10 Whole Bean Stars. - Any 12-pack Starbucks VIA® Ready Brew, 5-pack Starbucks VIA® Iced Coffee, or 4-pack Starbucks VIA® Latte for every 10 Starbucks VIA® Stars.
