- Load $10 or more to the Starbucks app with VISA Checkout
- Receive your $10 eGift within 24 hours courtesy of VISA Checkout
- Enjoy!
Is this still valid if we did the $5 a few weeks ago?
Should be — terms state that this offer begins today, 11/29.
This is the 3rd time I’ve done the promo (last 2 times H2S has posted the deal) and used the same cc and starbucks account (I didnt delete my cc and re-add it, just used the card with the VISA logo next to it on the payment screen). When I went back into my starbucks app there was a msg on the home page saying I’d receive my $10 promo within 24 hrs. Sweeeet!
is this for reloading? or purchasing gift card and paying with visa checkout?
Hi Jennifer! Just load your Starbucks Rewards account in the Starbucks app with at least $10 using VISA Checkout as your payment method. Hope this helps!
What is Visa Checkout? Do I have to pay to have Visa Checkout or is it free?
Its free, you just registar a credit or debit card – it does not have to be Visa, its just another online payment system, like Paypal.
Awesome! Thanks!
it’s free
Free, just links your CC with an account.
Can i do this deal again? you had posted the same deal earlier and i was able to get it then so wanted to see if this is for only new customers or for everyone? Thanks in advance.
It worked for me– at least I got the pop up saying I’d receive my $10 ecard info tomorrow! And I did this last time, and just reloaded it on that visa!
I didn’t receive a popup….
I didn’t get a pop up either, however, when I checked the ‘messages’ in the app, I had one saying I would receive the e-gift within 24 hours.
Thanks. I did not get the pop up but went back to check my inbox and saw it.
Check your message center in the app. I didn’t get s pop up but my confirmation was there.
Nope not in my messages either. Ugh wasted $10…not happy.
Same here. This happens every time I try this promotion! Starbucks….why do you hate me!!!
I logged out of the app and back in and the message that I qualified for the $10 bonus appeared!!
That worked for me too!!!!
First time this was not working right for me. Wasted $10
Will this work if you already have a Starbucks app and just reload $10 onto a card you already have?
It appears so 🙂
Did this last time – NEVER AGAIN!! Visa checkout never put the $10 in. Was ZERO help. I ended up calling Starbucks and they put an extra $10 in.
Darn! Sorry to hear about that Laura! 🙁 Thanks for sharing!
How soon do these rewards show up? I just did the papa johns one yesterday
Is it limited to one per customer?
Never mind. I got a confirmation message in the Starbucks app which states one per person. 🙂
How will we know we got this deal?
Hi there! You should receive a confirmation.
I received a message that I was rewarded a free reward coupon for either a free drink or food item, not the $10 extra. Hth
Just reloaded $10 on my existing gold card…hoping this works!
Got the message! Took 10 minutes! Thanks Collin!
where did you get a message? on your starbucks card or in an email?
On the app…I had to log out a deal back into the app then I received a notification and it was in my inbox in the app that the promo will be emailed to me.
Thanks
YW!
Thank you! Worked perfectly for me! Have confirmation message showing on my Starbucks app.
Me too! Hope we don’t run into any problems!
Yay! You’re so welcome!
How do you know visa checkout is applying? I keep clicking on it and it takes me back to the reload screen just showing my visa card….
delete that card on your starbucks app, then when you select it during visa checkout it will add it back. i just did that and then got a message in my starbucks app saying i would recieve extra giftcard in 24hours
Thank you!!
Thank you–I did that right after I posted this and got it to work! 🙂
Thanks! Wasn’t working before and that fixed it!
I deleted my visa from the payment section and readded it with visa checkout and got an alert in the app to lookout for my reward within’ 24 hours. Not a new customer!
When I set up Visa checkout it goes to my already saved discover card in the app- wonder if that will still work?
I’m wondering same thing.
I think it worked. Message says I will receive a $10 eGift within 24 hours via email. Yay!! Thanks Collin.
I did this a few months ago, hoping it will work too
I’ve been waiting for this promotion. Thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
My app is just showing my normal visa, not visa Checkout as an option…?
Swipe to delete your “normal visa”, add a new payment method. Select Visa Checkout and select your saved card again. I know the “icon” doesn’t change from your Starbucks Payment method screen, but it shouldn’t matter. Worked for me just a minute ago and got confirmation of eGift.
Thanks arianne! I did some snooping and it looks like I had already loaded a card onto visa checkout from the last promotion. It’d be a lot easier if they changed the image.
Worked perfectly, using my existing payment method (debit card through Visa Checkout) and existing Starbucks gold card. A notification came through on my iPhone saying I would get my “eGift reward within 24 hours”.
My app keeps saying visa check out has error. Anyone else?
Same here
Omg it’s your Starbucks password not the 4 digit passcode lol. I finally got it!!
Yes me too!
Mine did the same. Turned out I was entering the wrong password. When I entered the correct one it went through with no problem.
Mine too.
How do we know if it worked? It wouldn’t let me actually pay with visa checkout, only add a card through visa checkout, which I then used to add the $10. Ugh, I shouldn’t even do these type of promotions. It’s frustrating when there is no confirmation.
Same thing for me but it does work. Close app and go back in and you should have a message on home page of Starbucks app saying you will receive the egift
Thanks! It did work! I was concerned when I didn’t get a pop up message, but I did find it in my normal app messages. 🙂
I know it is strange but it never shows as you are paying through visa checkout but as long as you went through the process of signing in to you VCO account and selecting card it should work.
Strange….I keeping adding it, but it doesn’t show it as Visa Checkout. Just shows my visa card instead. Gonna try it, but have a bad feeling it won’t work.
I didn’t get a pop-up but I did get a notification in my messages on the app letting me know I’ll be receiving the $10 within 24 hours. Thanks so much!
Good! You’re welcome Linda!
The following was in my Starbucks “inbox”:
Thank you for participating in our Holiday Visa Checkout offer. By reloading $10+ using Visa Checkout you will receive a $10 eGift within 24 hours via email.
Hth
How long did it take to appear? I just tried this but got no confirmation even though I definitely logged into visa checkout….I was super excited to see this promotion because I just got a low balance alert from Starbucks this morning 🙂
Maybe 5 minutes?!?
Thank you! Fingers crossed….
I logged out of the app as suggested by another user. When I logged back in, my confirmation message was there!! Hooray!!
Addressing some of the concerns above. I am not a new customer. I selected VISA checkout using a card that was already on my account. After I completed the reload, I let my phone sit on that screen. I was concerned about the card being the one already on my account. But, after about 30 to 60 seconds, I did get a pop up telling me that I had used VISA checkout and that I would be getting an additional $10.
I did it before, am I elegible to get it againg?
Thanks Collin! It worked for me! I loaded $10.00 to an existing card on my phone app. I told it to pay with visa checkout. I had to sign into visa checkout where my credit card was stored. I wasn’t sure if it would work but after completing the order, I received a notification from Starbucks that said this:
Thank you for participating in our Holiday Visa Checkout offer. By reloading $10+ using Visa Checkout you will receive a $10 eGift within 24 hours via email. 🙂
Awesome to hear you could snag the offer Sharon! You’re very welcome!
I didn’t do checkout right last time so missed $. Be sure u download Starbucks app to phone then make sure u r registered using your phone with Visa Checkout. Use Starbucks app to load $10 onto it then scroll down and be sure to choose Visa Checkout. Continue from there.
I think older folks like me need more detailed instructions for things like this.
😉😋😎
Tx Hip!
D
You’re so welcome! 😉
No confirmation at checkout,but check your inbox in the app. That’s where I received a message saying I would get $10 within 24 hours.
How soon did the message appear in your inbox on the app? I deleted my existing card and used the visa checkout option to add it back and used that to pay, but have no message.
Never mind. I closed out the app and went back in and the message was right there on the home screen. Thanks
Fingers crossed! I did this last time and it worked fine. Just did it again and received a notification in the app that the $10 will appear within 24 hrs. Hopefully it works this time, too!
I have not been able to reload using the mobile app or online for almost a month now..has anyone else had any trouble with this??
Darn! Maybe try deleting and reinstalling the app? Hope this helps!
YAY! Thanks! It just worked for me in my account & my husband’s. When reloading, even though my card was already selected as a payment option, I clicked “Add payment option,” selected Visa Checkout, signed in, chose a card (same one already listed in Starbucks app), and they popped me back to the payment option screen. I checked out, and received the notification in both accounts that my eGift would be received via e-mail within 24 hours. Thanks again – so appreciate knowing about these offers!
I keep getting a system error
I had to add a new visa to my visa checkout, I didn’t get a confirmation message so I hope I still get it.
I did it twice and didn’t get a confirmation. I hope it comes through. I’ve never had a problem with it before. Good luck!
Can you use this money loaded to your card to buy a physical gift card in the store? Was hoping to gift this and the savings would be nice but I need an actual card.
Absolutely! I have used my Starbucks ap/card to purchase “real” gift cards on numerous occasions. You can use the money loaded on your card to buys anything in a store or online
Yep, just choose a new card, add money, and pay w/ your app or existing card.
Stacie, yes. I do it all the time. These promos are great for gifts! 🙂
Can you give the egift to someone else for a gift?
Yes, you can! They just need the card number & PIN.
It’s very glitchy for me! I tried several times & keep getting error messages…Frustrating.
It WORKS!! Thanks again H2S!
No pop up or message in my app inbox….purchased it over 20 mins ago 🙁 Guess it doesn’t work for everyone.
I didn’t get any messages either. That stinks!
Me either ….
I did this last time no prob… But this time no message for me, no pop-up, logged out and back in… Darn!
Oh me of little faith! And impatience! Took 9 hours but just got the bonus, wahoo🌟
Downloaded Starbucks app, Keep getting a blank screen on my mobile phone in the Starbucks app for sign up and sign in scrren. Any ideas?
Thanks! Just got a message in my Starbucks app that I should get my $10 eGift within 24 hours 🙂
Mine worked! Tysm! Happy Holidays!
Thank you Collin!
So what is VISA CHECKOUT? You just need to upload $10 on the app with any visa credit card or it is something different? Thank you!
Went through visa checkout but have not forte a notification of the $10 gift…hope it worked!
Worked like a dream! Thanks H2S!
Thank you. I was literally just thinking how I never got the offer from Groupon for the Starbucks deal. I’m normally able to participate in that promotion, but not this time. I was able to add $10.00 to my existing Starbucks account via the app, and pay using Visa checkout. I closed the app and then went back in after purchase and the message was in my inbox thanking me, and advising I’ll receive the $10.00 bonus in 24hrs. Perfect timing because I needed these to pair with teachers gifts.
Check your inbox in the Starbucks app, I got a message about two minutes later telling me that I’d receive an email with a $10 gift card within 24 hours. My confirmation email from reloading $10 did not specify this, so i thought I had missed out.
OK so I need to install the starbucks app? Then make a 10.00 purchase using visa checkout on the starbucks app. Then I get 10?
I followed the instruction and added $10. I didn’t get a confirmation email or message about a bonus. 🙁
Thanks, H2S. I just got the email with the bonus $10 code.
