It’s time for My Starbucks Rewards Members to check their e-mails for one of the easiest targeted promotions that Starbucks offers – make three purchases to earn 10 bonus stars OR make five purchases to earn 20 bonus stars. In order to earn the bonus stars, you must be targeted, enroll in the offer and then make three or five purchases with your registered Starbucks card (or app) between March 10 and March 23.
Easy Way To Earn 20 Bonus Starbucks Stars
If you complete the challenge, Starbucks will automatically deposit the bonus stars in your account by April 3, 2015.
Starbucks also threw in a bonus offer for 25% off any lunch item purchased with your registered Starbucks card from March 10 to March 16. For those targeted, they included a 4 digit code for one-time use.
Terms and conditions for the bonus star challenge and the 25% off lunch item offer:
Star Dash valid 3/10/15 – 3/23/2014. Earn three (3) Stars and receive ten (10) Bonus Stars. Earn five (5) Stars and receive twenty (20) Bonus Stars. At participating Starbucks® stores. Must pay with your registered Starbucks® Card/App. Bonus Stars will be automatically loaded to this My Starbucks Rewards® account and winners will be notified by email on 4/3/15. This offer is exclusive to you and this My Starbucks Rewards® account, and cannot be reproduced, transferred or used by anyone else. Cannot be combined with other offers or discounts. Cash value .01 cent.
Offer valid 3/10/15 – 3/16/15. Receive 25% off any lunch item, including any sandwich, salad, panini or bistro box. At participating Starbucks® stores. Must pay with your registered Starbucks® Card/App. This offer is exclusive to you and this My Starbucks Rewards® account, and cannot be reproduced, transferred or used by anyone else. Cash value .01 cent. Valid for one time use.
Bottom Line:
I think this is the easiest version of challenges Starbucks offers. To enhance your savings and rewards, consider going to Starbucks on Mondays from 2pm to 5pm for different weekly specials. Details are here.
Did anyone receive a different (or better) offer?

I got “buy 4 and 6 drinks” respectively.
boo – I received 8 and 10.
I also got 8 and 10. As a GOLD member I value the free item after 12 stars to be worth $5. The 5 purchases for 20 stars offer is a non-btainer, of course you do it. 6 purchases for 20 stars is acceptable maybe if you would have gone there anyway. And you do the10 purchases in 2 weeks only if you are addicted to promotions. That’s a lot of money for pricey coffee or so-so sandwiches 2 out of 3 days. And the offer does not appear to be stackable. I would contact Starbucks to see if using that 25% off lunch code voids your stars for the promo on that purchase,.
Wish I could participate, they won’t honor my gold card in Spain!
I participated and bought 6 drinks in the designated time window but haven’t received my bonus stars. Should I contact them? Maybe I didn’t understand the rules correctly… Was it a guaranteed 20 bonus stars earned or were there selected winners?
I received, on March 9, 2015, that I could signup/join the “dash” that month. Five purchases would result in 10 bonus stars. Seven purchases would result in 20 bonus stars. Time period was March 10-23. Either would be placed in my rewards account on April 3, 2015. Well I easily cleared the seven purchases but haven’t seen the bonus stars and now it’s Monday April 6, 2015. I’m figuring it was just Good Friday and Easter weekend. Maybe the Starbucks automated processes weren’t able to cope with holidays?
I also received another notice/email on March 31 for an April “dash”. If I achieved 18 stars (I guess anyway possible) between April 1-30 I would receive an additional 20 stars. I also received a buy two get one free and a bonus star weekend this Easter weekend. So I’m already up to seven stars on that alone (I buy coffee with friends and family too). Anyway, there’s a potential wrinkle there. If they credit my account the 20 stars from the March deal maybe that would technically be “enjoying” 18 stars April 1-30? Eh, probably not and it’s not like I won’t easily hit 18 stars by April 30. Of course I’ll have to do it whilst maneuvering around the substantial free bonus drinks/eats I’ve got expiring in that same time period.
I did not receive my bonus stars for the march promotion. It sounds like I am not the only one -what should I do.
Have a great day.
I didn’t get my starts either. I called them and they double checked that I got the purchases then they credited it to my account. If you didn’t get them, call them
