Program Overview

My Starbucks Rewards is one way in which Starbucks endeavours to reward and thank loyal customers for patronising Starbucks business. To enrol in My Starbucks Rewards and receive program benefits, you will first need to create an account at www.starbucks.ie and then activate and register at least one Starbucks Card to your account. “Activation” means that the Starbucks Card has a minimum of €5 loaded onto it. Starbucks Cards may be activated at participating Starbucks stores. You can register any activated Starbucks Card to your account at www.starbucks.ie.

Personal information which you provide to us for purposes of creating an account and registering your Starbucks Card will be held pursuant to Starbucks Privacy Policy and may be held by Starbucks in the United States of America. Information on Starbucks data protection practices and Starbucks Privacy Policy is available on this website at http://starbucks.ie/about-us/company-information/online-policies/privacy-statement.  Please note that this includes provisions under which we will transfer your data outside the EEA (to secure servers in the US or elsewhere) subject to us taking steps to afford your data equivalent protection to that provided under UK law and by registering your Starbucks Card you acknowledge that your personal information will be so transferred.

All of your Starbucks Cards – including digital Starbucks Cards – can be activated and registered for use in My Starbucks Rewards. My Starbucks Rewards benefits are determined based on the number of “Visits” you make and the number of “Stars” that you earn through your Visits. A “Visit” for purposes of My Starbucks Rewards means each time you use your activated, registered Starbucks Card to pay for a transaction at a participating Starbucks store in the UK. You will receive one “Star” for each Visit. You can use any Starbucks Card registered to your Starbucks.co.uk account to earn Stars for your Visits.

There are two levels of benefits in My Starbucks Rewards depending on the number of Stars that you accumulate in your account. By creating an account, and activating and registering a Starbucks Card, you will be automatically enrolled in My Starbucks Rewards at the Green Level. Earn at least fifty Stars within the twelve month period following your enrolment date and you will proceed to the Gold Level.

To maintain Gold Level benefits, you must earn at least fifty new Stars during the 12 month period following the date you reached the Gold Level.

Green Level

Opening an account and activating and registering your Starbucks Card automatically enters you into the “Green Level” of My Starbucks Rewards and entitles you to receive:

The ability to earn free drinks:

Once you have entered the Green Level, you will receive a voucher after every fifteen Visits. The free drink voucher entitles you to one free Tall drink of your choice at participating UK and Ireland Starbucks stores. The voucher will be valid for thirty (30) days from the date of issue and must be surrendered to the barista to receive the free drink.  The voucher will be valid for 60 days from the date of  your 15th visit and will be sent by post to your registered address.  The voucher must be surrendered to the barista to receive the free drink. 

Gold Level

After fifty Visits in a 12 consecutive month period, you reach the “Gold Level.” At the Gold Level you receive the following benefits:

  • All Green Level benefits (as described above)
  • Complimentary syrup choices include Caramel syrup, Vanilla syrup (regular or sugar free), Hazelnut syrup (regular or sugar free), Almond syrup, Irish Cream syrup, Peppermint syrup,
  • Extra shot of espresso,
  • Choice or soy milk and whipped cream.  Complimentary soy milk in lieu of whole milk, semi-skimmed milk or non-fat milk.

A combination of complimentary choices is also acceptable, for example an order of an extra shot vanilla latte would mean that the extra shot and vanilla syrup are for free when you pay with your registered Starbucks Card.
