Do you need to score 100 points??? I can't get 65
Ha no way! The previous game offer was for 100 Starbucks points, but you only needed to score 5 points in the game (which is very easy). The offer now is a 50% drink coupon deal and you only need to score a 5 points in the game.

I had trouble with it last week but hopefully this time will work.
So the coupon is only good for the following day.
Asking bc I want to use the coupon on Thursday so thinking I should wait until tomorrow to play the game?
I wouldn't risk it, play the game today (takes less than a minute), then claim the offer so the coupon goes onto your app. Starbucks tech is pretty janky, so I'd play it safe.

I have no clue why but my partner played this game and got the coupon same day. He was able to use it on his order.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

If this is the direction Starbucks is going with their promotions it's exactly 180 degrees from where they need to be.

1) play a stupid game which seems barely playable on certain devices.

2) get a coupon- maybe- the next day for half off a drink*

3) *IF there are still coupons available….

Sheesh, the majority of their drinks are just coffee flavored sugar water at this point. They're not very good at all if you have them cut back on the sugar. The only thing I find consistently appealing is their nitro cold coffee with some heavy cream, but the level of speed in that stuff tends to destroy my ability to sleep nowadays (and there is no decaf version).

Next week they'll probably add a requirement that you must spin and win a roulette wheel in the store before they'll accept your coupon. Whatever young interns are running the promotions desk have too much time on their hands and clearly little understanding of how much BS most reasonable people will go through to save a couple bucks off their overpriced swill.

It's tedious- just offer a deal or not, Starbucks. Reading through this thread only tells me that this promotion is going to backfire, another big waste of time.

Agreed with your sentiments. Also, it seems this game was a big waste of their time & money. It doesn't seem like this caused much buzz for them. Probably would have been better off just issue rewards to their customers.

From personal experience, I spent far more time and money buying from them when they had the generous and straightforward rewards program two generations ago. And I was making coffee at home everyday too. They've made the rewards program so bad, so pointless that it's only convenience during travel or occasional coupons that get me in there. Care less about the rewards because at best I can get an oat milk upgrade before rewards die off.

Have about $100 in Starbucks credit I'm trying to dump, down maybe $25 in two years. They are union busting at the same time too, seems they just don't want to be in business anymore. I wouldn't care too much about that, but these corporate pigs bought up and closed a bunch of much better coffee shops in my area years ago so people are stuck with few other options in much of the city.

That's what I got last week. Couldn't get the offer no matter how I played (computer or phones).

This week I got the success screen on my phone

I am not sure that is the case.

Their coffee is just okay, fine. But their app is probably a competitive advantage. More time you spend on the app, the better for them.

I was not able to get a positive confirmation playing the game on mobile, but did get the confirmation this morning playing on my web browser. It didn't immediately reflect in my app, so maybe will require the 24 hours to process.

Last time, I played the game on my laptop & got the immediate confirmation of success. Then I logged out and had my hubby play on the same laptop (since I was already on the game page). He played several times and kept getting the 'not eligible' msg. I tried playing again & this time got the 'not eligible' notice too. He then played on a diff machine and was successful. So I don't know if you are technically only allowed each prize 'once' & exclude you by device (instead of acct)? Maybe this gets rid of people who have a zillion accts scamming a zillion prizes/coupon?

But really, this game is making you work for a potential offer they used to give away free that I never even took advantage of then. 50% off AFTER 12 NOON? Yeah, just trying to drum up biz during their low times, but making u work so hard for it too?! Hard Pass.

Also, their bonus star offers have really been weird. Years ago, my hubby used to get them all the time and I never got them. I even called Starbucks to ask why. They didn't know (it was not settings or permissions related, I said yes to every marketing & privacy permission Q they had). Then at some point it flip-flopped. Now I get the bonus stars offers & he never gets them. Because of that, he orders mostly from my app now.

On an unrelated note, has anyone ever been denied logging into their Starbucks acct using the same login/password & forced to do a 'forgot my password' to login at all? This has happened to me & my hubby here & there, when we were kicked out of our signed in apps & couldn't log back in there or on a laptop, yet 100% sure the login/password was correct. I wonder if Starbucks had little breaches here & there, and this was a way to force you to update your password surreptitiously. Starbucks CSR was completely useless there, blaming all sorts of things that were not the problem.
