100 stars is enough to get two of the following: drip coffee, tea, bakery item. Each of those cost 50 stars. At 150 stars, you can get a "handcrafted drink", hot breakfast, or parfait.
I received an email detailing this offer, for which I have attached a screenshot.
Here is all the text from the image:

How to get people to stop going to your stores
At their current pricing, they're less than $1 difference when compared to my local Roasters / third wave shops, would rather support them

Here's the Venmo reply, which is like what others mentioned before:
Hi MJ,
Kim from Venmo here!
Thank you for reaching out about adding money.
At this time, only users who have applied for and activated a Venmo Debit Card have the ability to add funds to their Venmo balance manually.
If you'd like more information about applying for a Venmo Debit Card, you can find it by visiting: https://venmo.com/about/debitcard/ from a browser. Keep in mind that you don't need to add money to your Venmo balance to pay friends or businesses in the app.
I hope this helps! If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out! Have a wonderful day!🙂
Best,
Kim B. | Venmo Support
F-Starbucks -- they made $3- BILLION in PROFIT in 2022!! (yes 3 BILLION NET PROFIT) and at the same time they are squeezing loyal customers Via their rewards program, on top of price increases -- I'm beyond insulted, using all my stars and going elsewhere!
In fact I reload $15 fund yesterday through Venmo (paid with a Visa credit card tight with my Venmo account,) already see the 100 stars showing in my Starbucks account and $15 shows as a valid credit card transaction. However, I had a bank debit card tight with Venmo (not Venmo debit), so not sure if that's why it works.
The bonus is my CC also has a % of cash back reward for online shopping , so I paid less than $15 plus bonus 100 stars for this reload.
