The Starbucks For Life Game Is Back, & The Prizes Are Next Level

It’s a big day for coffee lovers and sweet treat enthusiasts! In the spirit of the holiday season, Starbucks kickstarted its 10th annual Starbucks For Life competition on Nov. 28. What is that, you ask? It’s Starbucks’ holiday “game,” where Starbucks Rewards members are given the chance to win a variety of prizes, one of the most exciting being 30 years of free Starbucks. Yep, you read that right. While only five people will win the prize of free coffee for life, Starbucks has over 10 million prizes to give out, so it’s time for you to get your game face on!

Starbucks for Life will run from Nov. 28 until Dec. 31. You have to be a Starbucks Rewards member to participate, but if you aren’t already, it’s super easy to become one. Just download the Starbucks app and create an account. Even come Jan. 1, being a Starbucks Rewards member will help you earn stars to score free add-ons, food, and drinks from Starbucks all year long. If you don’t have the app, you can log into your account to play directly on starbucksforlife.com as well. 

How To Play Starbucks For Life 2023

First, open your Starbucks app, where you’ll find the Starbucks for Life snowglobe game on the homepage. Hit the Play Now button — this will bring you to starbucksforlife.com, where you can “shake the globe to start the party.” Tap to shake the globe, and find out if you’ve won an instant prize! If not, you may have won one out of the three pieces you need to win a larger prize, like a $1,000 Delta gift card and a Starbucks + Stanley Quencher H2.0 Flowstate Tumbler. You can play one time per day, except Monday, where this year, Starbucks is introducing double play Mondays for the first time!
