Changes to Starbucks® Rewards

Last year, we were delighted to expand the range of items you can redeem with your Stars. Starbucks® Rewards offers benefits beyond free drinks, and we continue to invest in the programme, with more member benefits to come. To help ensure Starbucks® Rewards continues to deliver great value, we’re updating the number of Stars required for certain reward redemptions from 3 September 2026. We’ve outlined everything you need to know below.  

 

WHAT’S CHANGING?

From 03/09/2026, the Stars required to redeem Rewards will change as follows:

 

Free filter coffee, Americano or hot teas

From 130 Stars to 150 Stars

 

Free selected bakery items

From 300 Stars to 350 Stars

 

Free handcrafted beverage of your choice

From 500 Stars to 600 Stars

 

Free selected merchandise

From 1000 Stars to 1150 Stars

 

 

WHAT’S STAYING THE SAME

⊕ You can still earn 10 Stars for every £1 spent. 

⊕ 2500 Stars still gets you to Gold Level

⊕ Gold Level still means free extras, and a birthday drink on us.

 

THE GOOD STUFF

We're excited to be bringing you more of the good stuff so keep an eye out for what we've got planned for you!
