Hey Starbucks fans – are you up for a challenge? 💪

If you use a Garmin fitness tracker, there’s a new Garmin Connect challenge this month that could earn you a free drink from Starbucks for all your hard work!

Garmin’s Starbucks March Steps Challenge is offering the chance to earn a Starbucks reward if you record a total of 400,000 steps by the end of March. If you’re successful, you’ll get a challenge badge and a reward of 150 Stars, redeemable for a free handcrafted beverage or food item from Starbucks!

If you’d like to work toward this goal, make sure you opt-in as soon as possible! This challenge has limited spots available, and it will close once capacity has been met. Note that this challenge is only available in the U.S. and Canada.

    Yay! I JUST switched from a Galaxy Watch to Garmin about a month ago. Didn’t know about this challenge, but it was easy to join! Thanks!

    I join the challenge, then yesterday it was removed with no explanation. I had over 200,000 before the halfway date.

  3. Marco

    I completed the challenge, pressed the button to redeem it… And i have got nothing so far. What a joke.

    • Paul

    How do you earn the 150 stars? Won’t transfer to my card.

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Hi Jamie! It looks like you’ll need to join each challenge. You can earn the 150 starts by following the steps listed through the link above. There are limited spots. Hope this helps!

    Same problem here. It simply doesn’t work

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      SO sorry for any issues, Slade. It seems this has now ended. Hoping a similar offer pops up soon!

  6. Jodi Lucas

    Joined the challenge, completed it, and was awarded the badge. When I try to redeem the reward it says this offer cannot be validated 🙁

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Bummer! Sorry to hear that, Jodi. Hoping the next offer might be easier to snag. We’ll keep an eye out!
