Taraneh says:
this is great, thanks Collin!
Kayla says:
Thanks!
Kale says:
when you transfer it to your starbucks app it loads it as a gift card for $2.60! Can you use it for anything or does it have to be the Starbucks blonde roast?
Thanks
Shannon says:
It sure looks that way to me! Yay!!
Franni says:
Got it! Was able to sent it to my registered starbucks card.
Susie says:
But for some reason I’m NOT able to. It keeps telling me that the card number or security code are invalid. Anyone else having this problem? I’m only having to actually put in the security code; the card number already appears after I go through the sign-in process.
Amanda M says:
make it so that you have to type in ALL the numbers acrd number & security code, I was having the same problem and when I completely did it on my own it worked!
Kitty says:
Doing it this way works! Took me like 2 hours to get the email so you might have to wait a little bit
Beth says:
I got the same message and when I tried to add it as a new card it wouldn’t work. But when I logged out and back in I was able to add it as a new card by typing all of the info in myself. Then, I just transferred it to a card I already had money on. It worked perfectly!
Katie T says:
did you type it in without spaces? It wasn’t working for me because I copy and pasted the code that had spaces in the card number.
Beth says:
Yes without the spaces. I couldn’t copy and paste either.
felicia says:
When I click on the link it says page not found???? Anyone else having this problem?
Sarah says:
I got the same thing from my cell phone. It’s a bummer that a lot of these deals don’t work on phones.
Jennifer says:
You have to use the “view desktop site” option. You should be able to select that option from the “menu” button on your phone when you navigate to the page
nicky says:
Thanks
susanna says:
when it’s printed can I cut out the little card shape or have to take the whole page?
E says:
It has worked for me before to print it out and cut out the little rectangle with the barcode. On the email I got it said “sent you a $2.60 USD Starbucks eGift to spend on your favorite beverage.”
Thank you, Collin!
Alycia E. says:
Thanks got one and sent to like 4 friends !
kat says:
It link isn’t working, for me.
erika varriale says:
I was also able to just transfer the 2.60 to my current Starbucks Gold card. yeah!!!
Jamie says:
I registered online the other day for my rewards card, but do they mail it to me? how do I get it. ((the REWARD card, not this facebook treat
))
Delene says:
Thanks Collin
felicia says:
It wouldn’t work on my phone, but I got it to work on my desktop! Thx
Kat says:
How long did it take for your egift to arrive? Is it immediate? I haven’t received it yet, and I’ve checked my spam folder too. Thanks.
Reese says:
My email came right away. Check your spam maybe.
Kat says:
Thanks Reese. I checked my spam, but it’s not there either. Maybe it’s just slow as the site gets busier. I know it posted to my friend’s wall right away. Hopefully it will arrive.
kelly says:
i can’t get it to work!
UltimateCouponLady says:
Not working for me from my smartphone, even when I go to desktop view, I can’t find the link.
Tonya says:
I can’t get it to transfer to mu registered Starbucks card. What is going wrong?
Tonya says:
I got it, finally!
Diana says:
Bummer that I use my “other” Facebook account to do mine since I didn’t want to give the app access to my refular info. I don’t “friend” people on that page since its only for deals and coupons! But I got free coffee and will just email H2S link to my friends. Free coffee is a great way to start the morning!
Cheryl says:
When I try to transfer the gift card balance to my gold card, it says the CSC code isn’t valid even though I’m typing it in exactly as it appeared in the email link Starbucks sent me.
Karen M says:
It wouldn’t work for me that way either. Try using “Add a card” instead.
Claire says:
I had the same problem & just entered the card number and CSC myself. Worked perfectly!
Natasha C says:
Thanks worked great this way.
Karen M says:
I had trouble redeeming the e-gift card into my Starbuck’s account. Finally, I tried the “Add a card” feature and manually entered the e-gift card #. That worked. Redeeming it just gave me errors and didn’t work.
Hope this helps someone.
Sandra says:
Thank you! I couldn’t get it to load either. Saw your comment and entered mine in manually too. Worked perfectly!
blucoke says:
Instruction on how to transfer the eGift card onto your own Starbucks account/card:
1. Open your email, click on the link to claim Starbucks eGift card & enter your email address. IMPORTANT: write down the card number & CSC info of the eGift card you just claimed.
2. Click on “Transfer to my Starbucks card” button, log into your Starbucks account.
3. If you have more than 1 registered card: Select a card registered under your Starbucks account you wish to transfer the amount TO. NOTE: If you only have 1 card registered, just click on the image of the card.
4. Click on Transfer Funds link on the menu under that selected Starbucks card, then select “Transfer TO” option.
5. Enter the eGift card number & CSC info (of which you just claimed & wrote down in Step#1 above) on the left side of box under FROM THESE CARD(S) section, then click Continue on the right side of box under TO THIS CARD section. You should be promoted to click “Preview…..” which completes your fund transfer.
Congratulations, you have now officially transferred the eGift Card $2.60 into your own registered Starbucks card/account.
Karin says:
Thank you so much! Finally worked for me.
Suszy says:
I ended up having to manually enter the card. Thanks Collin!
Kimberly says:
Thank you!! I love Starbucks!
Alicia says:
Anyone having problems with the site?
Carol_R says:
For me right now it’s just sitting there spinning.
UltimateCouponLady says:
Anyone able get it to work from there smartphone?
Nicole says:
The site won’t load for me at all.
Carol_R says:
Looks like Hip2Save fans killed another web site. I just don’t get why these web sites aren’t set up to handle a lot of traffic or have some other mechanism when they get a lot of traffic to deal with it.
debbie says:
yeah me too, not in ie or chrome
Valerie says:
Thanks Collin & team!!! I got one and sent one to at least 10 friends. I hope they all went through. A happy Monday is free coffee.
fran says:
For my husband (my friend), I’m getting “cannot post to user’s wall”.
Do any of you have any idea what that means? It’s not going through. It’s his work email and I wonder if they have fb blocked. Could that be it?
I didn’t get anything either.
fran says:
Yay, I just got my email!
Thanks!
Candice M. says:
Ladies, how long did it take to show up in your email? I’m still waiting.
Brittany says:
I’m wondering same thing…
Brittany says:
It showed up after about 10 minutes!
Babs says:
Site won’t load for me. Any ideas? Other than too many Hip2Savers crashing the site?
fran says:
Try in a different browser.
Holly says:
Starbucks fb page wouldn’t show up in chrome but worked in safari
Crystal w says:
The email took 5 minutes to arrive and was in my spam.
I entered info to balance transfer, the first time it didn’t work but I hit the back button re-entered the info and worked perfectly.
Not able to load from smart phone must be on desktop I used safari and t went through like butta !!!
Hope that helps ladies ! And now I have a balance on my card someone let us know if we can get a different drink rather than blonde roast !!!!
nl says:
Got my email within a few minutes. Thanks to everyone for their comments. I couldn’t figure it out at first but I saw all of your posts on how to get it to work. I also had a $25 gc from christmas and had NO idea I could transfer to my Gold Card which I did so I can collect my stars. Thank you!!!!
Jen says:
It’s been 3 hours and still haven’t gotten email .. Not I spam either but posted to friends wall right away…
Laura says:
I haven’t gotten it either
Becky says:
Still waiting too
Lisa says:
Same here. Wonder if we’re outta luck!
Becky says:
UPDATE: Be patient — I just received mine — YEAH! — Thank you!
Jen says:
Yay … I hope it comes … If not for me I hope friends I sent it to can get at least
Lisa says:
Thanks, Becky! Just got it!
Jen says:
Never got it
oh well my friends never got either
Shauna R. says:
Still waiting too. I think the offer might be over. Although, I don’t know why they don’t alert you on the app page so you don’t wait around for an email. Who knows, maybe they are just getting slammed and the emails won’t come for a while?
Shauna R. says:
Did finally get it, so I’m thinking it is just getting slammed and is overloaded.
Janel says:
REad some comments but still a ltitle confused…is this just the free coffee or is it 2.60 to spend at starbucks? I’m just curious because I can’t have caffeine so if its only the blonde roast I cant use it.
Carol_R says:
I got the impression that if you have a Starbucks card you will get $2.60 to spend there but if you don’t you will just get the blonde roast drink.
Karen M says:
You get a $2.60 e-gift card–to use how you choose, like other e-gift/gift cards. You can print it out or transfer to a Starbucks card.
Karen M says:
I can’t do caffeine either.
Janel says:
thanks everyone.
although almost 3 hours later and still no e-mail
xxayeexx says:
been almost 30 min and still no email =(
iaiaia04 says:

xxayeexx says:

iaiaia04 says:

MommySaves says:
Thank you I did this early this morning and was headed to Starbucks anyways..I got my free tall Blonde coffee, it was great
Cindy says:
I, like some of you here am still waiting for an email.
I hope it’s just clogged up and that does go through!
Karla says:
Can I just print this and bring to the store? Do I have to have a registered Starbucks card?
bali says:
you can just print it
Jill says:
I tried to use it an was not able to. They scanned the barcode but nothing happened. This was inside a Target Starbucks. Maybe it will work at a freestanding Starbucks.
selune says:
All have been claimed.
