Reward

Save money by joining the free Starbucks Rewards program online or via the app to earn stars with every purchase. Stars accumulate, allowing you to trade them for freebies.

Rewards can be earned using different payment methods. You earn one star per dollar when paying at the register or paying ahead with your credit card information on the app.

Refill

Participating Starbucks locations allow customers to get free refills of its basic drinks, such as coffee, tea, and cold brew, but not Refreshers, lattes, and espressos.

Your original drink must be consumed in the store to be eligible for a refill; simply show your member barcode during the initial purchase and when requesting a refill.

Happy Hour

You can save big when you go during the hours of 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., typically on Thursday, for a BOGO deal. The free drink’s value is capped at $10.

Stay alert for when the app announces a happy hour rolling around; it's a great way to try out two of the 35 most popular Starbucks drinks at the same time.

Customization

Starbucks has a variety of syrups, toppings, and additives enabling countless drink customizations beyond what is already on the menu.

When ordering, clearly explain how you'd like to tweak its recipe, right down to the number of syrup pumps to the sweetener substitute you want.

Whipped Cream

You can customize your drinks with syrup, but it comes with a price; however, a cheaper alternative if you want extra sugar is adding whipped cream.
