Starbucks Bingo is now playable, click here.
I’ve added additional directions on getting free plays as apparently it wasn’t clear enough previously.
The Offer
- Starbucks has launched a summer game called Boardwalk. Basically it’s a virtual board game and you can receive plays two ways:
- Make a purchase (before 2PM gets you one play and after 2PM gets two plays. Up to a maximum of three plays per day)
- Submit the entry form (again you can do this once for before 2PM option and one again for after 2PM option for a maximum of three plays per day). This gives you free plays. You can also go to the form directly here.
The Fine Print
- Valid until 9/10/18
- Keep in mind you need to pay taxes on prizes you win
- Beverage credits expire daily
Our Verdict
For Starbucks fans you might as well get the three free plays every day, free drinks for 10 years is pretty good but even getting some bonus stars/free drinks is useful as well.
My total haul was 115 stars and a 50% off frap coupon. I played basically every other day, when I remembered. Not bad. I got many 10 stars and one 25 star prize.
Not sure if I was the only one who was fooled by this shitty company via the “obvious-a-trap” sniping game board. I was playing the game the day before yesterday and I clearly remember I was just waiting for any free drink card to come then I get the free drink for whatever long time. U know what, luckily I saw the card was a “10 years free” card (three is a win) and was about to get super excited, then suddenly it just fucking CHANGED to the only card that I don’t have any yet, i.e. “Duplicate Card” (three for a free spin) and thus don’t win anything!!! WTF??!! I just cannot believe this fucking annoying situation happened and happened to me. I’ll fight for this for sure and sue Starbucks for being so fucking coward and unfair. That was actually my second time caught them cheating on the game, first time was I got an email saying the “fish” I picked was 10 bonus starts BEFORE I even decide which fish to pick/click, after checking the email, I just randomly clicked a fish then indeed was 10 bonus stars, it kinda confirmed my assumption as well as their fact of cheating in the game. Luring customers to make more purchases and play those contrived games then use some algorithm to prevent customers from winning the biggest prizes. Nice algorithm!! Good job!! Starbucks ought to go fucking broke!!
Same happened here more than five times!!!! not only the “10 years” one, all other free drinks cards change. I’ve already collected 2 “10 years” cards, 2 “5years”, 1″1year””6month”and”3month”. all I need is one more card, no matter what, then i can win the free drink. There were 2 time “10 years free drink” card changed to “collect to spin again” card, “5year” “1year” and “3month” cards changed once for each. i’m getting really mad. I mean, it’s sweepstakes, it can be fake, never can win the free drinks, but their program sucks!!! Wondering who did the coding…. I can exactly see the moment the card changes to another one……. poor system…..
The rule is that generally there’s a handful of rare pieces and most pieces are common. They should display the common piece first and switch to rare rather than psych people out.
Same is here. Playing every day last few weeks and one card missing for all free drinks. They could do better.
Anyone know what are the rare pieces this time?
For the grand prize, credit for “1 free beverage item”, can this credit be used for a food item like a sandwich? I know previous Starbucks games, you can redeem for food item, what about this one?
Don’t think so, but I could be wrong.
I was able to play 3 times for free this morning. I wonder if the “before 2 and after 2” is truly hard-coded into the game.
Same, they are different “awards” and you can do both
After 2 gets you 2 plays, before 2 gets you 1 play. So you should get 3 plays every day (assuming you use them every day).
Edit: You can get the free plays at any time of the day. No need to get the “before 2” actually before 2 and the “after 2” actually after 2…thinking that might be what you meant.
What is the use/purpose of the Souvenirs?
Wondering that myself. I don’t see any mention of them in the official rules.
To make you feel better about losing.
Toad is right
If I win ten years of drinks, i’ll buy doc one
hmm, says I’m ineligible to play.
Pretty impressed that when they say free drinks for 10 years, they actually mean one drink per day for 10 years as opposed to a lesser gimmick.
In other words 3,650 Frappuccinos? I’d be dead very quickly.
You can get a skinny latte if you prefer
“Beverage credits expire daily.” >>>>>>Epic Failure!
Epic comment. Not.
