2. What is a Star and how can I earn one?
You can earn Stars and receive in-store benefits simply by paying for a transaction at or over THB 25 with your Starbucks® TH app or your registered Starbucks Card at participating Starbucks® stores in Thailand. Or every purchase with Starbucks® TH app or your registered Starbucks Card, you earn one Star for every THB 25. Your change counts towards partial Stars. We’ll keep track of all your partial Stars and apply them to your total Stars. For example, if you spend 155, you’ll earn 5.80 Stars. The .80 is not always visible (we like to keep things simple), but you can always view your Stars and purchase history when you sign in here.
3. Can I earn Stars if I pay with cash or a credit or debit card instead of my registered Starbucks Card?
To earn Stars on your purchases at participating Starbucks® stores in Thailand, you must pay with your Starbucks® TH app or your registered Starbucks Card - we can't award you Stars and reward you for purchases made with another form of payment. You can use your debit or credit card to reload your Starbucks Card.
4. How can I check my Stars and my rewards?
You can check your account, transaction, Stars and rewards on your Starbucks® TH app or at starbucks.co.th.
5. Do my Stars expire?
Yes. You have 12 months to accumulate Star Balance to reach Gold Level or maintain your Gold level. After registering, you need to accumulate 300 Stars in 12 months to reach Gold level. Once you are Gold, you must re-qualify each subsequent 12 months by earning at least 300 Stars and your Star count will be reset to zero on your anniversary date (12 months from the date you reach the Gold level). When you are in Gold level and you earn less than 300 Stars in 12 months, you will return to the Green level and your Star count will be reset to zero on your anniversary date.
For Gold Level membership, the Stars you collect towards Reward Balance will expire 6 months after the month you purchased. Starbucks will always apply the oldest Stars towards your 120 Stars redeem. For example, if you earn 10 Stars on June 16 and 15 Stars on June 24, your total Star balance for the month — 25 Stars — will expire on December 31.
6. What can I redeem my Reward Balance for?
As a Gold member of Starbucks® Rewards program, you can redeem 120 Stars at a participating store as soon as you qualify for a Reward. After you collect 120 Stars for a Reward, you can redeem your Stars for a free handcrafted beverage (any size with 2 free customizations) except bottled beverages, ice cream beverages, and selected reserved beverages before the Stars expire — ask your barista when you’re redeeming at a participating Starbucks® store. Once your Reward is redeemed, the 120 Stars will be removed from your Reward balance.
