The Offer
Direct Link to offer | Buy Starbucks Giftcards
- Starbucks is offering a free $5 promotional e-gift card when you buy a Starbucks e-gift card of $20 or more.
The Fine Print
- Valid 11/26 – 11/29
- Limit 100,000 bonus cards
- Limit 1
- Promotional gift card does not expire (I believe it just loads into your Starbucks balance like normal; or it can be used as a gift card directly at a Starbucks as payment)
Our Verdict
There is no indication at checkout that you’ll be getting the $5 card, so just buy a $20 e-gift card (you’ll choose the custom gift card amount to get the minimum $20 purchase) and hope for the best. You should get both the $20 + $5 cards within minutes.
Dansdeals points out that you can pay with Paypal and save an additional $3 (if you haven’t yet used that offer); use a Chase Freedom card for 5x on Paypal this quarter or use the Cash App for 15% back with the boost (don’t use the Starbucks app if you want the Cash App promo).

I just received link to $20 gift card and $5 bonus on two separate emails. I bought $20 e gift card yesterday.
Looks like they ran out of $5 gift card promotion. Just purchased $20 gift card 15 mins ago and already received $20 but not $5. These promotions are really a trap smh
Just contacted support. They said it sold out. They offered me $8 to my balance due to the inconvenience, which is fine with me. Told them it was still advertised in my app which it was when I purchased it.
I just used the chat support and they added $5 to my account, although it took a little bit of asking for it after I was told the terms and conditions of the offer.
Call Starbucks customer service 1-800-782-7282. They will add $5 to your account.
Did you contact Starbucks or cashstar?
Received $20 card but not $5. Not able to see $5 card in cash star website as well. Any inputs?

Black Friday $5 Gift Card Offer
Please know that at this time, in the United States, we have officially sold out of our Black Friday offer to receive a $5 eGift Card when another eGift of $20 or more is purchased.
I see this in Starbucks site
Got both gift cards within 10 minutes but no $3 from paypal. Purchased 10pm 11/26 PST. Probably paypal already have 250k people redeemed. It's weird offer still showing on Paypal deal.
Never got either gift card in my email, but Starbucks support gave me this link.

I was able to access both of them in there.
Thank you! Didn't get the email either. Used the link and saw the card there plus a $3 card from T-Mobile from a while ago that I totally forgot about :)
This worked for me just now. Used the gift card order to purchase a $20 e gift card (using the custom amount feature to get the $20 amount) and sent the card to myself. Got the purchase receipt and the separate $5 credit email before I got the $20 gift card email. Added both to my account.
Anyone do more than once?
I decided to give this a try and it worked. For those wondering about the details... A few minutes ago I ordered a $20 gift card via the Starbucks app (paid via PayPal to utilize my $3 extra offer). Within 10 seconds, I received my order confirmation and an email with the $5 promo gift. I also received an email a minute later from PayPal letting me know I saved $3 on my transaction. Thanks DoC!
I’m going on seven hours and haven’t gotten either gift card.
Wife was charged three times trying to get hers.
Starbucks done goofed today.
