The Offer
Direct link to offer (our affiliate link, thanks for supporting the site)
- Groupon+ is offering 20% cash back at Starbucks. The offer lasts for one week after you click claim (not sure how long it’ll be possible to click claim for)
The Fine Print
- Limit of $1 cash back per transaction
- Limited to in-store purchases only. No online purchases
- Only valid for purchases at Starbucks company operated locations
- Purchases using the Starbucks mobile app not eligible
Our Verdict
For those not familiar Groupon+ is Groupons new card linked loyalty program. Seems loads via the app are working to trigger the cash back so your best option would be to load $5 to get exactly $1 back (offer can be used multiple times), just keep in mind these are excluded in the fine print so possibility of a claw back. AmEx also has an offer for 15% cash back for Starbucks, unfortunately American Express cards do not work with Groupon+.

btw they seemed to have extended the offer to make it 21 days instead of 7, they added two more weeks for me
Thanks, good to hear!
also stacks with the BOA 10% back deal if anyone else is meeting their min spend on an ML+
Groupon+ has gone missing from my app in Philly. While it was there there were only about a half dozen places deep in the burbs. If I search for starbucks I don't find it.
Too much work to save $1. Time to open a bank acct and get $200.
Deal is repeatable though so more than $1 for a lot of people
Love Starbucks's Mocha and Hazelnut Frappecinos. its $7 but well worth it.
Ooof haha
This may only be for the Chicago area Starbucks?
Rabid fan here. Worked for me. You should update the post that the 20% discount is only for a week (I signed up today, and it expires 9/26). Already have a 15% discount with a couple Amex cards (that goes until the end of September), so can now hit multiple cards hard.
Will add this. Thanks
If you try to reload the Starbucks card via app or online, the min amount is $10.
If it works with $10, you would get a $1, which would be a 10% off.
Maybe we can try to buy a $5 gift card at the Starbucks store and see if it works with it.
yeah you can easily just keep buying $5 GCs in store and then add it to your account and transfer the balances around to combine them
Thanks. Just in time for my S/O on our trip to SEA in 7 days. My debit card from my credit union has offers of which Starbucks is common. It too has a 10% promo meaning that for each time that I buy a gift card in-store it would be 30% off. Either I will buy $5 or $10 gift cards and reload my S/O's Starbucks card.
Can't you do $5 through the app?
Doesn't it say that you can't use the app?
It does say that, but people are still getting success e-mails when using it.
No. The app asks for any amount $25, $50, Other. If you click on 'Other', the lowest amount is $10.
If you go on the Starbucks website, it looks like you can enter any amount, but if you type $5, it will tell you that the minimum is $10.
But I don't know it. Igor below said that it worked for him ... so I am a bit confused.
I hate Starbucks.
Not a fan either, but I know some readers are rabid fans.
Not a fan either but thanks for the S/O.
wouldn't work for me
scratch that, I got it to work
Did you reload the card? On the website or app? How much did you reload?
If I try to enter '$5' as amount, it replies:
"Amount must be between $10.00 and $100.00**"
I wonder what I do wrong. I tried both app and web.
