Starbucks: *HOT* Free $10 Bonus w/ $10 eGift Card Purchase Using VISA Checkout on Mobile App
HURRY Starbucks lovers!
Through September 30th (or while supplies last), whenever you load your Starbucks Rewards account in the Starbucks app with at least $10 using VISA Checkout as your payment method, you’ll receive a FREE $10 eGift within 5 days! There are a limited number of bonus loads available to eligible customers!
Keep in mind that VISA Checkout allows you to pay with a VISA, Mastercard, Discover card or any major credit or debit card! Awesome!
Here’s what you’ll need to do…
Download the Starbucks app and create an accountLoad $10 or more to the Starbucks app with VISA CheckoutReceive your $10 eGift within 5 days courtesy of VISA CheckoutEnjoy!
Is this still valid if you had done the VISA checkout promotion a few week ago?
Yes, I think so as it’s a new promotion!
So this is only for certain customers? I guess I’m confused by the wording.
Well it says eligible customers, but I think anyone who purchases the $10 eGift on the app using VISA checkout would be eligible?!
They didn’t mention it when I checked out. Hope it works! If so, hot deal!
You should receive the bonus within 5 days! Hopefully sooner! 😀
Not everyone gets one? That is a dumb promotion then! How do we know if we qualify?
“If you use Visa Checkout and load $10+ during the Promotion Period to complete steps above and meet these promotional offer requirements, you may receive a Bonus Load. YOU ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO RECEIVE A BONUS LOAD. SUPPLIES ARE LIMITED. Qualifying customers will see the $10 Bonus Load in the form of an emailed Starbucks eGift card within 5 days. Starbucks will not be responsible for any late, lost, misrouted, or non-delivered e-mails, or other computer- or communications-related failures, caused by events beyond the reasonable control of Starbucks.”
oh what? this sucks…. i guess something like this is too good to be true for some.
I read this too..horrible how you aren’t guaranteed to receive a bonus load..will wait for a groupon deal
What is visa checkout? Payment through visa credit card?
Hi there! It is a payment method. You can create a Visa Checkout account through the link above and use any card.
Well poo! I just used my Visa loaded on the SBux app to reload. I didn’t realize we had to use an official “visa checkout” app.
No Visa’s version of PayPal
App down for me. Says try again later.
Keep trying
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
I got my bonus $10 today!! 🙂 thanks again!!
Idiot me didnt see the app bit and loaded through the website, oh well.
Just did this. We’ll see if the bonus comes through. Fingers crossed…..that would be sweet!
I had to reload anyway but the CC i use for visa checkout is the same Cc that I use on the sbux app, and when I signed in through visa checkout and hit continue it just went back to the sbux app so not sure if it works or not.
That’s exactly what happened to me! I think maybe we have to delete the CC from the app and then use the VISA checkout. I don’t think it’s going to work otherwise. But, I guess we’ll find out in 5 days.
That’s what happened to me too. I deleted the CC from the app, then went to use the Visa Checkout, and it just re-populated the CC information back into the app. It’s really hard to tell if it’s using Visa Checkout. I thought the purpose of Visa Checkout was so that you didn’t have to share your CC information?
How did you delete your cc? I have the case as you…my cc on the app is my visa check out card. I signed in on visa check out, and it went back to the same screen where it shows my cc, not visa check out. Maybe we’re not qualified if we already did this in the past?
Never mind, I figured it out, thought after deleting and signing in to visa check out, it looked exactly the same before I deleted it. Oh well, I needed to reload my card anyway. It’s just a bonus if I get an extra $10 (hoping…)
I tried deleting my payment method in the app and then going back through and “adding a method with Visa Checkout” and it still looks the same…like I’m not really “using” Visa Checkout but like I basically retrieved credit card info from it and loaded it onto the app. I don’t know; it’s weird. It’s not like every other time I’ve used Visa Checkout.
Yeah–I can’t tell if it’s really checking out thru Visa Checkout or not. It is weird on the app. Not sure if I even want to bother, because I only load the card when there is a promotion like this. I don’t want to do it and then have it turn out that it didn’t work, or that (from the posts above) I just don’t end up getting a bonus.
Says it cannot complete right now????
Hmm, maybe wait a moment and try again.
I have been trying since I received the text. Maybe it is not available to me?
I have tried a dozen times using visa check out and every time it says it can not complete right now. Same thing happened last promotion using visa check out. I tried probably 2 dozen times over a couple of days and the purchase never went through at all.
Confusing info – there isn’t a “Pay with Visa checkout” option…so you have no way to know if you are just paying for a $10 card with your card that also happens to be a Visa Checkout registered card…or if you are reloading using Visa Checkout
I just loaded $10 to my account on my app from Visa Checkout. I haven’t received extra $10 yet (hopefully sooner than 5 days?!) so I can’t confirm if I did it right but I did see “Visa checkout” option along with “PayPal” or other CC stored in my account when you click “paying with..”
The is a “Visa Checkout” option when you first go to pay.
Through the Starbucks app when you click pay and reload there is an option to reload using visa checkout
I’m glad you guys are giving feedback so I know the problem isn’t me. I couldn’t tell if it used Visa checkout also and wouldn’t go through for me also.
I tried to reload my acct. but it says system error.. this sucks.
Darn! Maybe wait a moment and try again.
I’ve been trying for over 5 hours and keep getting “sorry we are having technical difficulties. Try again later”. A bit ridiculous for VISA. Waiting a “moment” doesn’t work
I’m wondering if they were getting hit with a lot of traffic for this popular offer. I was able to get through earlier. Have you been able to try again successfully?
I did this with the one two weeks ago. Not only did they not add the $5 bonus they never added the $10, but charged my debit card. Called “visa checkout” they said they’d email me about it, that was almost two weeks ago.
Darn! So sorry to hear about that Laurie. Have you checked the spam, promotions or junk folders of your email to see if it landed there?
I keep getting a system error 🙁
Hmm, maybe wait a moment and try again.
“Load” means “reload” or purchase gift card from “Gift”?
I reloaded my card through the app. Not sure if I’ll get the bonus, as my visa is stored in the app. So, not completely sure if it was processed as visa check out or visa cc. Either way, I needed to reload with or without the bonus.
i can’t tell if i am paying throughout my card or the visa checkout… my card is the same as the visa check out card… and the visa check out is not “checked”
i got as far as logging into my visa check out… and allowed starbucks to access the card…. and then, when it goes back to the payment page, my original card is still “checked”
How odd. Are you able to start over again to be sure you are using Visa Checkout? You will not get the offer if it does not go through Visa Checkout 🙁
tired of these lame come on promos
They ripped me off $10. I think it’s a scam
It’s for sure not a scam. These promos always work perfectly for me. When are you claiming they ripped you off on $10? This promo or another one?
Reloading in app=error message at this time.
Are you able to wait a moment and try again?
My only option with VISA Checkout is “Add Card With Visa Checkout”. I’m not sure if this is same as Visa Checkout?
I’m getting the same exact thing. Can’t tell if it’s my regular payment or Visa Checkout 🙁
Agree starbucks really dropped the ball with this promo. There isn’t an option to “Pay” with Visa Checkout.
Same here. Can’t tell for sure that I paid via Visa Checkout, but had to login to Visa Checkout to choose my card (which, like those above have mentioned, then just appeared w/ the other card under my payment methods on the starbucks app). Hopefully the bonus will appear within 5 days.
I don’t know the different between adding my CC info through the Visa checkout and just adding my CC info normally. Am I missing something?? Confuse…
Hmm, Here is how the checkout process worked for me: I had to click the Visa checkout option and was redirected to log into my Visa account and choose the card I want to pay with. Then it went to the Starbucks app and showed the Credit Card logo that I used in Visa checkout. Hope this helps!
Is it one per account?
Yes – read on visa checkout
Looks like I’m having the same problem as everyone else. I went through 3 or 4 times to make sure I went in through visa checkout, but once I added the amount and entered, it takes me back to the original payment screen where it looks like I am simply paying with my Visa CC. No way of knowing for sure that it processed through VCO. Hope I get it, but I’m not confident. Just glad I’m not the only one who ended up confused about the whole thing.
Hi Kaylnn! Here is how it went for me when I went through: I had to click the Visa checkout option and was redirected to log into my Visa account and choose the card I want to pay with. Then it went to the Starbucks app and showed the Credit Card logo that I used in Visa checkout. Hope this helps!
Same happened for me. I deleted my Visa from payment options, clicked on add a card through visa pay, logged into visa pay, it did a circle thing, took me back to reload where the CC # just showed up in the list. I did it anyway, so we will see
how do you delete your Visa CC?
I haven’t been able to reload my SB card via the app since the last update it received, it’s been over a month now. I have to go into the store or do it through their website. I’ve written to SB customer service about it, but they haven’t replied.
Darn! Have you tried reinstalling the app?
I tried it. Hopefully it works
Unbelievably I cannot download the Starbucks app to my phone or either of my two tablets!! This really sucks it’s such a good deal!! I’m guessing it has to be for the app to qualify? Even if I use Visa check out like I normally would?
Yes, you will need to use the app. Have you tried restarting your mobile device to install? Hope this helps!
Where did you find this deal in the case they do not honor it? I would like a screenshot of it.

Thanks collin just reloaded through visa checkout.😊
Awesome! YW!
In the oroginal post it states it will take five days for us to get the promotional credit.
Thanks very much as I was down to nothing!!
You’re very welcome! 🙂
This stinks! Time for Hip2save to send SBux a message telling them their members are not unhappy with this promotion. I’ve entered promo 2x & didnt get the bonus either time. Not worth messing with. JMHO. 😎😞😣
And time for me to go back to grammer school…duh. sorry. We’re all intelligent folks here & this promo is just a hot mess. They make you jump through hoops going through their app, then we give them our hard earned money and then maybe, if we’re really lucky and we cross our fingers just right, 5 days later they might tell us we were given the promo gift. Nutz. No more for this chick.
Calm down. It’s just coffee. These promos usually last awhile, so I’m sure you’ll get your bonus if you paid through Visa Checkout. On the upside, this seems to be your biggest problem in life, so things can’t be so bad.
Although I agree, it really is a scam. What bothers me is they claim it is the first xxx people and you have no idea when you purchase it if you are getting the deal or not. But for sure they don’t always follow through on these promos
I was just sharing my thoughts. I have done all of these when they offer them and never had an issue getting the free credit. They are upfront with saying that you may or may not get the credit. They are generous with how many they offer though since they tend to be available for days on end when they first start. If someone doesn’t think it’s worth the risk, they could just pass on the offer.
Hi there! Were you able to enter via the steps listed above? If so, it will take up to 5 days to receive your egift card. Hope this helps!
I already have Starbuck App and I was Reload $10 (Used VISA CHECK)to my existing account,hope it is work for me😊
I am very confused. I tried to reload numerous times yesterday using Visa checkout as my payment method, and got repeated error messages. Called Starbucks this AM and was told their reload function is down. Agent said I should reload through Visa checkout site, which, of course, took me right back to Stabuck’s. Hate to miss a great deal. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks. Still getting, “We were unable to process your request. Please try again later.” 🙁
Me too!! Still not working.
Agree to those saying this is a scam. It may be a legit promotion but the methodology used to obtain said promotion is suspect. Starbuck’s surely could have foreseen the problem we are having. I spent 15 mins trying to get visa checkout to appear on my android app; to no avail.
I got my $10 bonus yesterday. Not a scam. It only took me two minutes to reload with $10, but I used an iPhone.
Received my $10 eGift!
Got mine too!
Thanks for sharing! I reloaded yesterday evening and just received my bonus $10 email.
Did mine yesterday and received egift today! Yay!
Just got an email with my $10 bonus. Yay!
You’re so welcome!
Received my $10 eGift today!
Got mine too! Did it yesterday.
Received the $10 bonus today, good looking out Colin!
Got mine! Thank you!
YW!
Got mine 😀
I just got my $10 eGift for using Visa Checkout!!!! Thanks for posting about it!
Ha! I was worried with all the problems we were having yesterday, but I received my $10 eGift card tonight at 8:44pm. Yay! Thanks Hip2Save.
Greetings from Paris (France, not Texas, lol) I just got my free $10 from Visa check out, and already loaded to my app. Thanks!
Oh how cool! You’re so welcome!
Got my promo today. I wasn’t sure I would because my SBUX card was the same as my Visa checkout, but I got it! Thanks for the great deal!
I got mine!! Thank you!!!
Works! Got my $10 eGift today! Thanks!
Glad to hear it Allison! You’re very welcome!
