    I got the email about 30mins ago. Processed the $10 purchase and instantly recover a confirmation for the $10 gift card. Yay.

    • Erica (Silly Sidekick)

      Awesome! ๐Ÿ™‚

  2. GINA

    Recover=received

  3. christina muir

    Is this a new promotion or is it an extension of the one recently?

    • Erica (Silly Sidekick)

      This the same promotion!

      • Kelly K

        Can You do it more than once?

        • Melanie

          Doesn’t look like it works if you participated in the last round about 3 weeks ago.

  4. Kelsey

    Well did it, didn’t get a notification that id get the extra $10 but whatev! I’ll use the initial $10 anyhow.

    • Kennesha

      Mine did not come until the next morning. It should come though unless you already did the offer.

    • Mourrene

      Mine popped up the next day too.

  5. vonetta

    can this only be done once? I did it earlier this month when I first saw it posted and got the credit

  6. Joan

    Is the e-gift ONLY for Starbucks or ???

    • K.

      Yes you’ll get a Starbucks e-gift card

  7. greta

    Mine still hasn’t come through and it has been days. ๐Ÿ™

    • Jen

      I had to contact Starbucks to get mine but they credited the $10 to my account for me. Don’t contact Visa checkout…they are zero help!

      • jenny

        same happened to me after 24 hours and didn’t get $10 bounus, called Starbucks customer services quick and fast, they credit $10 to your account.

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Hmm, maybe contact them to see if you can grab it.

    Did anyone get their free pizza code from visa checkout for papa johns? I did it twice and never got my codes

    • christina muir

      I didn’t receive my Papa John’s code and had to email them. They were really nice and sent a code the following day

    • Brittany

      Yes. I got my the next day.

    • Kristy

      I got mine. It took a couple days

    • hellfire gainz

      If you are on mobile,check all your folders. On my galaxy it tends to fall into the promotions folder.

  9. Joan

    Kayla – we did the Papa Johns / Visa Checkout deal and got the code about 12 hours later – which was the next day. – [remember there’s a 30 day window on using the code.]

  10. Reyna R

    How do you load the 10 dlls? You buy an egift card of 10 dlls?

    • K.

      Reload $10 on your Starbucks card, just be sure to pay with visa checkout

  11. Nicole

    I did this at the beginning of the month and received it, then got the email from Visa Checkout again and loaded my card again and didn’t receive the $10. I guess my account was limited to one time.

  12. Amanda

    How would you be able to gift this? I have a Starbucks fan that would love this for Christmas!

    • Heather C

      What I do is load my card with $10 and then send myself the email gift and load the second $10 onto my registered card. Then you can either use an app to gift it to somebody directly to their email or physically go into a Starbucks store with your $20 credit and purchase a gift card. In case you’re not aware, at Christmas time, certain Starbucks stores have about 75 varieties of cards- it’s like walking into Hallmark โ€“ LOL . Am I making sense? I hope I didn’t confuse you. I hope this “sort of” helps.

      • Amanda

        Heather, thank you for the info. That makes sense – I didn’t realize you could use money loaded on the app to buy a gift card in store. This makes for a great deal on a Starbucks gift card so I’m glad I can use it as a gift!

  13. smellyann

    OT: I have $20 Shutterfly credit that I won’t use, expires 12/21/16. Send me an email and first one gets it: melanie_odette at Yahoo dot com

    • Colleen U.

      I emailed you! Thank you!

  14. Heather C

    Doin’ the Starbucks dance! watch me whip, watch me nae nae, Watch me whip, whip, watch me nae nae. Now I’m doing the mannequin challenge (that means sleeping without moving ๐Ÿ˜‚.) thank you โ€“ I love Christmas gifts at half off!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Lol! Thanks for the fun comment. You’re very welcome!

    • Nancy P.

      heather, you must be a fun gal! your comment made me lol.

  15. Tp47832

    I did this a few months ago.
    I redid it. They sent me the a gift card but it was the same card from months ago.
    Has anyone else tried ?

    • K.

      The promotion always lasts for a month or so; you can’t do it more than once in that window. But once they do it again, you can. I’ve done it three separate times now. Are you sure it was the same? The generic all look the same, you can load it onto your card to not fool with multiple ones. If you got a non working e-gift you need to tell them.

  16. Apple

    I did this 2x last week and i didnt get any

    • K.

      Did you do it a month or so ago too? It’s all been the same promotion and you only get the $10 bonus once.

  17. Mila

    Do i have to have a starbucks gift card to do this? Or can i just create an account with no card and just load $10 to my account?

  18. Ailine

    Have done this promo twice now and never received my $10.- reward! ๐Ÿ˜ค๐Ÿ˜ข

  19. EconomicalBear

    Is it once per Visa Checkout account? My husband and I have two separate Starbucks accounts.

    • Heather

      I am wondering the same thing. Once per visa account or once per Starbucks account?

  20. Katherine

    I had received an alert thru my Starbucks app last week about loading $10 thru Visa Checkout onto my App, receive a $10 eGift card the next day. I took advantage of it and it went smoothly. I would imagine this is the same promo? And love pay it forwards! Went this morning for my daily iced chai tea and the car in front of me had paid for my drink. Kept it moving as well ๐Ÿ™‚ Merry Christmas!!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes, this is the same promo. How sweet that your drink was paid for and that you could pass it on! Thanks for sharing!

  21. Shar Rundio

    Got mine today. The bonus came within a couple of hours. Side bonus was that I realized I had TWO Starbucks accounts and found an extra $25 on the other one. Whoop, whoop! Super helpful Starbucks phone customer service lady was able to combine them.

  22. tracy

    This did not work for me. I did this on Dec 10th, never rcvd any credit ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Darn! Have you tried contacting them?
