Starbucks : Rewards Members Can Earn Stars with their Morning Commute

Members of the Starbucks Rewards loyalty program can now earn Stars by using Lyft during their morning commute.

Customers using Lyft for the first time, will receive 125 Stars (which Gold members can redeem for a free food or beverage item) after linking their Starbucks Rewards and Lyft accounts. Rewards members will then receive 5 Stars for each additional ride taken during their morning commutes, Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 10 a.m*. These offers are valid through November 9, 2016.

Also starting today, Starbucks customers can purchase $20 Lyft gift cards when visiting a participating Starbucks store, and as an added benefit, will receive a complimentary $5 Starbucks Card with their purchase**.

Starbucks is committed to providing the most robust digital ecosystem of any retailer in the world. This is the latest example of how the company finds new platforms to engage and stay connected with its customers, and provides Starbucks Rewards™ loyalty members the opportunity to earn Stars through both Starbucks and non-Starbucks purchases.
