Okay, so, I really wanted that shiny gold Starbucks card, you know? It just looks so cool, and I’m at Starbucks like, all the time anyway. So, I decided I was gonna get one. Here is how I make it.
First, I downloaded the Starbucks app on my phone. I think you can do this on the computer too, but the app seemed easier. Then I created an account, just the usual stuff, name, email, password, you know the drill. I also added a payment method. I just linked my debit card to my account.
Once I was in, I clicked on the “Join Starbucks Rewards” button. It was pretty easy to find, right there on the main screen. After that I ordered a gift card with at least 25 dollars on it. I actually loaded it with 30 dollars, just to be safe. You can send it to yourself or to someone else. I just sent it to my own email. You can do a physical card or a digital one, but honestly, who carries around actual gift cards these days? Digital is the way to go.
After I got the gift card email, I added it to my account in the app. That was pretty simple too, there’s a section to add gift cards. You just put in the gift card number and the pin.
Then comes the waiting game. You gotta collect 30 stars. You earn stars by using the app to pay for your drinks and stuff. It’s like two stars for every dollar you spend. I usually grab a latte and a pastry, so I racked up those stars pretty quickly. I just made sure to scan my app every time I ordered. It takes like, a second.
- Download and install the Starbucks app.
- Sign up for a Starbucks Rewards account.
- Purchase a Starbucks Gift Card (minimum $25).
- Register your gift card to your Starbucks Rewards account.
- Collect 30 Stars within a year.
Finally, after a couple of weeks, I hit 30 stars! And guess what? Starbucks sent me an email saying I qualified for a gold card! They said it would take a few weeks to arrive in the mail. It was super exciting.
Receive My Gold Card
And sure enough, about three weeks later, a little package showed up. It was my gold card! It’s so pretty! Now I can just use the app to pay, and I feel like a VIP every time I do. Plus, you get all sorts of perks with the gold card, like free refills and special offers. Totally worth it!
So, if you’re a Starbucks regular like me, and you want that gold card, it’s really not that hard to get. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be golden in no time!
