I got two emails, one for 100 & other for 50. I added 20$ & got both the bonuses!

I got this but I’ll only consider if it’s at least 450 stars.

What do non coffee drinkers spend their stars on? I missed the Starbucks deals a while back when they had errors with Star redemptions. Not sure what to do with them other than accumulate. I want to optimize the redemption cause I’m cheap, my crypto portfolio has went to shit and I have no monies.

Bringing coffee for friends makes an easy gift! Caffe Mistos are only 50 stars but retail for about $3.50 in my area.

Pick up coffee for them and have them cover you for lunch maybe?

You can order brewed coffee with unlimited shots and toppings for 50 stars. If you go crazy which nobody should it can cost $20 bucks but only 50 stars.

Nil . Nice! Happy to have an option for a cheap red eye or an excuse to get something a little fun.

50 point bakery items are your best value. ~$3.50 for a banana nut bread gives you $0.07/pt value, for example.

Would this stack with Amex Dining credit and 5% Amex offer?

I did not get that offer on either of my accounts. The only offer I got mentioning PayPal was on one of the accounts, and it was for earning an extra Star for every dollar spent when paying or reloading with PayPal. That’s it. Nothing too exciting.
