I got the 10% offer on one card, others are seeing 15%. No one is getting rich on $5, but for a lot of people this is free money since they go to Starbucks anyway.

  • This might be worth posting about if everyone got the offer. I didn't and never get any useful Amex offers and I have 7 Amex active cards. . BOA offers on the other hand are always useful.

  • A reminder to anyone who doesn't know: the Cash App debit card is worth keeping in your wallet just for $1 off all Starbucks purchases (or tx at ANY coffee shop). With my coffees being $2-3, it's just a flat 33-50% off.

    • But for lot of people coffee boost is locked out after 5 uses. Any ideas to unlock with least spending?

    • Holly Molly, I am a SB regular but never knew this debit card thing. Thank you so much @guest_794961, need to get this ASAP.

    • I totally agree with this, but I keep a balance loaded on my starbucks app for mobile orders and other promotions. Strictly speaking Cash app is the way to go, but I find some use out of the Chase/Amex offers and the occasional Raise sales.

      • You can use the Cash card to load $5 onto the Starbucks app and still trigger the $1 off!

        To that end I did a breakeven analysis (I drink a lot of coffee) and it was still cheaper for me to just pay per transaction rather than load $5 each time and combine the $1 off with Starbucks rewards....but with different ordering habits you may derive more value that way.

        • I'm a regular, too. So did your analysis compare the stars earned by paying via the app (not as a guest) compared to using the Cash App card (as a guest)?

          • Highest redemption of stars is to 150 stars for $5.15 breakfast or $4.75 handcraft coffee and you earned 2 stars for every dollar spent. so cashback 6.3%~6.8%. Other starbuck offer will increase the cashback to 12% I presume. Adding starbuck GC would add another 5% ~ 10% cashback. Plus credit card 1%~4.5% cashback. All in all I guess it would be around 12%~20%.

            I haven't used Cash app yet but sounds like you will always get 33% off as long as you buy coffee that cost < $3.

        • Old post but I recently learned that you can get the $1 boost on each Starbucks mobile order... all you have to do is log out. Use the guest checkout + Apple Pay in-app.

        • Do you have to do this in store? Do you have to buy a $5 gift card or can you trigger the boost by loading directly to the app in store? Thanks!
