Changes are coming to Starbucks rewards program in 2023 and it'll require a few more stars to grab those free items.
“Today we let our Starbucks Rewards members in the U.S. and Canada know about some changes coming to the Starbucks Rewards program,” representative Erin Shane Riley told Nexstar Wednesday. “Starting on February 13, 2023, we’re updating how many Stars will be needed to redeem for select Starbucks Rewards in the U.S. and Canada.”
Customers who are apart of Starbucks rewards program will earn "stars" when they make purchases and those "stars" can be used for free items on the menu depending on the item. The changes to the rewards program are not too crazy as each reward item will need an additional 50 "stars" to get the free drink, food item or merch.
