Unless they changed it for this. Last week, you get an immediate pop up confirmation after clicking Claim Offer, (see attachement) and then on the morning of 4/6 got a push notification in App with reminder to use promo but no confirmation in the offers tab on 4/6 or 4/7. Took 4.5 hrs from purchase on 4/7 for 100 stars to show up but my Challenge Bonus never posted and I had to chat with CSR yesterday to manually add.

Best way to take advantage is to combine with any challenge offers you have and a personal cup for 25 stars
Hope they fixed all the glitches with this game that made it impossible to actually get the coupon last time.
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.

Not eligible??? After 25 points and logged in.
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.

Check https://haveibeenpwned.com/ and more than likely some other site that you used the same email/password for was hacked.

The game description says 50% off a spring beverage (the lavender oat milk latte is really good!) but I just checked and my coupon says 50% off any handcrafted beverage so I don't think it has to be one of the special spring ones.

You probably do have the offer on your account now. For whatever reason, it takes an unusually long time to show up. Most likely, the next day

What was the prob? I completed it on a computer and two phones. Computer was easier to control. Ordered on the weekend got 100 stars easy.

Thanks OP I already played earlier and got my coupon.

Scoring the points was easy - I played last time multiple times per day and every time received a 'could not be validated' error message after clicking "claim offer". Never received the 100 points. Look at the SD thread, lots of users had the same experience. This time it did work for me but appears others are still having the validation issue, which is very frustrating.

So do the game the day before you want to go, otherwise the coupon would just expire?

Yes, I knew I was going on Wednesday so I played the game on Tuesday. The coupon was only good for the day after the game

I think the hardest part of the game was knowing to click play game.. took half a minute to get the points. Opened the Starbucks app after claiming offer and it didn't say anything but came back a couple minutes later and it said offer completed will be available tomorrow.

I played the game on 4/9 on my laptop and didn't get a coupon then (page/coffee cup kept loading.) I played again on 4/10 with adblockers disabled and got the coupon within a couple of hours.

I had plans to use the coupon tomorrow, played the game this morning and I could have used it either today or tomorrow.
But yes I would say play the game the day prior to when you want to use the coupon.
