    is this starbucks card a credit card?

    • Jamie

      no – it is registering a gift card

  2. brandice

    No its like a prepaid debit card….or giftcard. Put money on it and the balance is subtracted. This offer is legit and my card was credited five dollars in less than 24 hrs

  3. Danielle

    I just tried to get this offer with my free $2.60 starbucks gift card for a free blonde roast that was available a while back, and it seems like it worked! Now I have a free $7.60 gift card from starbucks!

    • Nancy

      Wow thanks for the reminder! I forgot that I had that free blonde roast gift card:)

  4. Susie

    So, basically, (keeping in mind I dont drink coffee). I could go buy a $5 card…join and get an additional $5 on it and give it as a gift (now a $10 card)?

  5. Elena

    Can we use the printable coupon for a free Starbucks coffee from retailmenot.com? Otherwise it is just Starbucks stuff have this promo coupon and they are not willing to give them to customers.

    • Missy

      Hi Elena,

      I just check and there’s not a free starbucks coffee on retailmenot?

      • Elena

        it is on the first page under “Today’s Top Coupons”. When you click on the
        “Free Tall Hazelnut Or Caramel Macchiato In Stores” new print page come up.

    Does the promotional 5 dollars expire once it is put on your card?

  9. marina

    Our 4 Starbucks said no 🙁

  10. Kathie M

    My mom and I both have cards but my DH registered for an account, as well as my dad and a cousin and all 3 got the $5 credited to their account before they added a gift card to it.

    • Vnpor

      When was this?

  11. Megan Isaacs

    I have gotten 3 free carmel drinks already! Love free drinks!

  12. Matt

    How about for current Gold members. I believe
    you could register a card using a different email
    address. Then transfer to your current card after
    the $5 loads.

  13. Jenny

    I registered my card. First time to their website ever, so new member. This did not work.

  14. Theresa

    I’m a new member, registered a gift card yesterday …. No $5 ??? Anyone else have this prob?

    • Theresa

      Finally just got mine 🙂

  15. midcountymomma

    Thanks for letting us know about the offer!! I wanted to let others know about my experience. I signed up yesterday and the $5.00 was supposed to be uploaded on my card within 24 hrs. I called Starbucks today and they informed me that due to the large response they are having a bit of delay in processing the free $5.00 added to your gift card. The $5.00 should be posted within 72 hrs. instead of 24 hrs. They were very nice and friendly. Just thought you all would like to know! 🙂

    • mary

      oh good, its been longer than 72 hours but I figured it was going to be a while …
