    I got the Frapuccino bonus stars in the afternoon, but a breakfast sandwich bonus star for the morning. The cake sounds much better!

    • Renee

      I got the same deal as you. I hope that I’ll still get the 2 bonus stars when I use my Treat Receipt on a frappucino this afternoon! 🙂

      • Bea

        Did this work for you? Or is the treat receipt considered part of another special offer, and therefore the bonus stars won’t apply? (Fine print says the bonus stars aren’t valid with any other special offer or discount.) Thanks!

  2. Ruth M

    My offer is 1 star on any breakfast sandwich/ 2 stars on any frappuccino. Thanks for posting. With treat receipt, you can earn 8 bonus stars 🙂

  3. Sarah

    I got an offer for 20% off all pkg coffee

  4. Karla

    You’re welcome, Collin! It’s like they know me. LOL. Usually when I go to Starbucks, I get some kind of fappuccino and a slice of lemon loaf. I’ll have to find time to go into town for this. My offer is valid through tomorrow.

      Enjoy! 🙂

    Guys I like the frapps love coffee taste not crazy sweet any ideas on what I should try.

    • Ruth M

      I love the Java Chip Light Frapp – you save a lot of calories and it tastes great!

    • Elizabeth

      Yesterday I tried the white chocolate mocha and it tastes just like the bottled mocha if you like their cold bottled coffee.

    • Arielle

      Their new frap that is cafe expresso is more coffee and less sweet! I love it!

      • Casey

        Thank you I know what I’ll be trying with my sweet treat receipt:)

    • Suzy

      I would get the regular coffee frap. I just got the caffe espresso one and it’s still pretty sweet to me. Plus it tastes a lot more like toffee which I don’t like but others might prefer. Skinny uses fake sugar btw! Hth

      • Renee

        The coffee frappuccino and cafe espresso are actually the same exact drink, just the espresso gets the special whipped cream and drizzle.

    • Ashley

      I get the mocha frap + chai and love it! I’ve gotten a few baristas hooked on the combo, too. The chai cuts down on the sweetness of the mocha and adds a little spice element that is amazing.

      • IzzyJ

        Can you use the treat receipt for this?

        • Ashley C.

          Yes you can! Just order it as a mocha frap “add chai.” 🙂

  6. Dapper deals

    I got 1 bonus star & 2 bonus stars 🙁 guess I go there too much hahh.

  7. Morna

    I received an email offering a bonus star for breakfast sandwiches and 2 bonus stars for frappaccino as often as I want today and tomorrow.

    • nicolegammeter

      Yum! 🙂

  8. Mary

    I guess I hit the jackpot, my offer is for 3 bonus stars with purchase of the cake and 4 bonus stars for frappuccino!

    • nicolegammeter

      Awesome! 🙂

    • Guest 24

      Mary. Mine too ( Houston) 3 stars for the loaf cake; 4 for the Frapp. I called Starbucks and asked if we get the 4 bonus stars from this morning and then 4 for this afternoon, $2 Grande Frapp….. She said YES…. So, 8 for today, but they may not be in our accounts for 24 hours. I’ll wait.

      • Ashley

        @Guest 24, you should actually get 10 if you do that! You get one for each visit and then 4 per frap – awesome way to build up some stars!

    • Sunshine22

      I got that too and used treat receipt earned 14 starts yesterday so cool. Bought two fraps and a slice of loaf bread.. Goes until the 30th must use treat receipt extra 5 stars for $2 so worth it.

  9. Naomi E. Fink

    How do you get a treat receipt if you pay with your card?

    • nicolegammeter

      You’ll need to ask the barista for one.

    • Guest 24

      Naomi, they always just hand me one, but, like Collin says, you may have to ask.

  10. Kelly

    Question: I bought 3 drinks yesterday but only got 1 star. I thought it was 1 star per drink? If I would have bought them in 3 different transactions, would I have gotten 3 stars?

    • Stefanie

      Its 1 star per transaction. If I am buying more than 1 item, I just ask for each separately and have them scan my card for each one. Most baristas are fine with this. I’ve even encountered some good ones who do this one their own when I forget to ask!

      • Kelly

        Argh! I wish I would’ve know that! Thanks for the response, Stefanie. 🙂

    • Erin

      They actually changed it to 1 star/hour. So even if you do 2 seperate transactions in the same visit, you’ll only get 1 star. They’re on to us!!! 🙁

  11. IzzyJ

    The Starbucks offers are starting to get so confusing! Treat receipt, bonus stars, and 20% off bagged coffee all have different expiration dates.

    • Elizabeth

      Good thing about the 20% is that it’s also good on VIA and the stores have a promotion that works together with this discount where when you buy one you get a free reusable tumbler!

      • IzzyJ

        Where is the promotion on the website? Have not seen it in the stores.

  12. Vanessa

    For the treat receipt do you have to buy it at a certain time? I’m thinking of going grocery shopping with a friend and was wondering if I buy one at say 1:50 pm then can I go back in ten minutes at 2 pm?

    • IzzyJ

      Yes, as long as purchased prior to 1:59pm, according to the website.

  13. Aimee

    How do you get these emails? My husband gets them but I don’t. I am a gold level with card! Thanks!

  14. Tania

    Does the frapp offer still apply at a target Starbucks?

  15. Ashley C.

    I am loving this! I went from 0 stars to 63 stars in less than a week just by getting pumpkin bread and a frap in the am and then grabbing my treat receipt frap on the way home! 🙂 Such an awesome deal!
