Bestie, stop what you’re doing, because Starbucks’ Star Days 2022 is here! Running from Oct. 17 through Oct. 23, Starbucks Rewards members can win a bunch of Stars and some pretty cool prizes (yes, including free coffee!) exclusively through the Starbucks app. And honestly, the timing for this couldn’t be perfect — whether you’re busy cramming for midterms or want to try out a new Starbucks fall drink (the pumpkin cream cold brew is just *chef’s kiss*), I think we all deserve a little pick-me-up this week.
To get in on the action, first make sure you’re all signed up for Starbucks Rewards — it only takes a few seconds, I promise. Done? Awesome. Read on for everything you need to know about Starbucks’ Star Days, including what prizes and freebies you can win.
When is Starbucks’ Star Days, and how does it work?
This year, Starbucks’ Star Days runs from Oct. 17 through Oct. 23. Each day this week, 1,000 Starbucks Rewards members will win 1,000 Stars — meaning, there’s a million Stars up for grabs each day! Each day that you make a qualifying purchase during Starbucks’ Star Days, you can win two entries to get 1,000 Stars. In case you’re not familiar with the Starbucks Rewards program, Stars you earn from purchases you make at Starbucks can be redeemed for Rewards, including free food, drinks, and more. For example, 50 Stars can get you a free brewed hot coffee, bakery item, or hot tea!
Rewards members can also play Star Days Arcade games — including Star Catch, Star Rush, and Star Blast — for a chance to win prizes and freebies (yes, you read that right)! You can win up to two prizes per day, too! Catch me playing Star Rush during my lunch break.
So, what kinds of prizes can you win from Starbucks’ Star Days?
So, let’s talk prizes. If you play Star Days Arcade, you have the chance to win a free product coupon for one bakery item of your choice (yum!) or a free product coupon that can be used for one fall beverage or handcrafted espresso at any participating Starbucks locations. Yes, bestie — you can win a free PSL! (Or a free pumpkin cream cold brew, if that’s more of your thing.)
Through playing Star Days Arcade, you can also win up to 150 stars that can be used towards future purchases. Major score! Not much of a gamer? Don’t worry, you can still win Stars each day you make a Starbucks purchase this week. So, what are you waiting for? I’m on my way to get my free PSL right now.
