Facebook Gifts: $5 Starbucks Card As Low As $1 (Select Facebook Users Only)

Hip2Save may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you via trusted partners and affiliate links in this post. Prices and availability are accurate as of time posted. Read our full disclosure policy here.

Did you know that Facebook now offers up an option to send your Facebook friends gifts to celebrate birthday or other special occasions (like Starbucks e-cards, iTunes cards and more!). Even better, some of you may have the option to Save $4 off your gift of $5 or more. If you have this money-saving offer in your account, you can use it to send a Facebook friend a $5 Starbucks e-Card for just $1! Sweet!

To see if you have this option, follow these directions.

* Head over here and click on the green Give a Gift button (make sure you are logged in to your Facebook account)


* Look for the banner at the top of the page like the one pictured above which states Get $4 Off Your Gift of $5 or more. If you have this banner (which appears to only be available to select Facebook users?!), then scroll down and pick a gift to send.


* I chose to send my sidekick, Mary, a $5 Starbucks e-Card for just $1!

* Once you send a gift, your friend will receive an email as well as a notification on Facebook. When they click on the notification, they can then view the item and read your card (keep in mind that your friend won’t see the price of the gift).

* That’s it! Come back and let us know if you were also offered $4 off your gift purchase of $5 or more!

Hi Collin! I was just wishing some friends Happy Birthday today when I noticed a banner that said “Give your friend a gift! $4 off of any $5 or more gift”. If you go under “see all” in the birthday banner, it gives you the option of choosing who to give the gift to so it doesn’t have to be that person’s birthday. It’s a one time deal – the banner disappeared once I purchased a gift card for my sister. You can get a $5 Starbucks or Jamba Juice gift card for $1, a Cheryl’s Birthday or Smile cookie shipped for $1, or a $10 Target gift card for $6!

A friend has a Facebook birthday and there is now an option to click “Give a gift”. When I did that, there’s an offer to Get $4 off your gift of $5 or more. I got a $5 Starbucks gift card for a $1! You can choose to do not just a birthday – I actually sent one to my hubby just because. 😀

(Thanks, Amy, Stephanie and Coupon Cravings!)

    Wow~Thanks for posting this! I got one!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yay! So glad you had the offer too! 😀

      • Raquel

        It is available to all. Just go to the timeline of the person you want to give something and where it says Post, Photo, there is a gift box (Gift) and you click on.

        • Lydia

          Raquel, it’s true that you can give a gift to anyone but it’s not true that everyone got the offer Colin posted about. I did in one account but not the other.

  2. Valerie

    Thank you so much Collin! I too had the offer and sent the gift – “Just because” to my husband! He’s going to enjoy the Starbucks! Thanks for all you do! By the way, I got my gorgeous Piperlime Scarf yesterday that was delivered to my door for $3.17. Something new to wear next winter! 🙂

  3. Michelle

    Me too! Thanks! I actually saw this offer the other day but was skeptical to even click on it, lol but I bought one for my hubby! 🙂

  4. Reese

  8. Laura

    Does the banner show up after you click “Give a Gift”?

  9. Renee

    My husband and I both checked – no option for us. Bummer. Great deal though. Thanks for posting!

  10. Shaun

    Got one! 🙂

  11. Karen

    Anyone know if the $4 off is a one time thing? Did anyone try to send more than one?

    • Vishnu

      Did 2, one each for me and my husband from opposite accounts, didn’t let me send to other friends though. Wondering if its one per account. hTH.

  12. barb

    Not offered to me this time, but thanks for posting such great deals!!!

  13. Ashley

    Got one thanks!! 🙂

  14. Sophie

    I had the offer and sent it to my sweet husband. Facebook will save your credit card information though which I do not like because it seems like someone is always hacking a friend’s facebook.\ Be sure to remove it by following these steps.

    STEP 1: Go to Facebook Account, Account settings

    STEP 2: Click the “Payments” tab

    STEP 3: Click the “manage” out beside “payment methods“

    STEP 4: Select “Remove”

    • Valerie

      Thank you so much! I just removed my Credit Card information!

    • jennifer

      Thanks! Dont like saving my credit card info on any websites!

    • Lydia

      Thanks for that!!

  15. jennifer

    Got it, Thanks!

  16. erin

  17. sara

    I wonder what are the collateral damages to this or what Facebook is up to this time?

  18. Allyson Knight

    I dont have the offer 🙁

  19. erin

    Has anyone actually received the gift card yet? It said they would send it shortly but I haven’t gotten it yet.

  20. rn30032

    I have the offer…one question or rather two….is there anyway u can send this to someone who does not FB or is there a way you can send it to yourself>>>>>TIA

  21. Ketsy

    Itunes is great too $10 for $6 😀

  22. Emily

    I have two facebook accounts – one got it – one didn’t and my husband didn’t have it. So I sent it to myself 🙂 I saw this the other day but it didn’t make sense to me – thank!

  23. Kristen

    Thanks! This is great. 🙂

  24. Becky

    yep, one acct. had it and one didn’t…I sent mine to myself also! 🙂

  25. txhrc4

    To do the gift is available, not the the $4 discount, bummer!

    • vikky

      check for this GC where your apps are. I’ve tried to press buy and nothing came up, but when i checked my apps and where the GIFTS are, I had messages there, and $4off $5 was there in my both accounts. Good luck!

  26. Pamela

    Has anyone rec’d the card or notification that is was sent?
    I bought/sent the Starbucks GC a few hours ago and still haven’t rec’d any notification that is was sent. 🙁

    • Michelle

      Hubby got his, filled out the info and we already got the egiftcard emailed to us. Within a matter of an hour tops I think.

    • vikky

      received right away

      • Pamela

        Hmmmmm, I see the $1.01 (why $1.01??) was deducted from my AM Ex GC but still nothing! Guess I’ll just wait and hopefully I’ll receive it!

  27. Janell

    Thanks! Just sent my sister a little Starbucks bliss to enjoy as she gets settled in her new home town as she just moved from east coast to west coast. Thanks..was super excited to bless her with that treat! BTW..if there are any Hip2Savers that have any West Coast tips, coupon blogs or info for her..it’s a whole new world for her over there in Oregon and could use some tips and help..anything! Thanks!

  28. Kathie M

    I did this this offer 3-4 weeks ago. Sent my mom a Starbucks GC and then removed my payment information. She received several messages about it and in less then an hour she had the card and had loaded it to her Starbucks app.

  29. nanci
