Get free drinks or food at Starbucks? Yes please! Here is how:
I love Starbucks coffee. Their pastries are not just wonderfully tasty, they add a big chunk of calories to my diet. But I don’t care. It tastes great. One thing I don’t love however, is the price. However, I get free Starbucks coffee using Shopkick app.
I know people that go there every day, and I wonder how they can afford it.
I met a person that spends $200 a month on Starbucks because stopping to get coffee was part of their morning routine. ‘Wow, that’s a lot of money’!! Then she said that its much less now, because she downloaded the Starbucks app and joined their rewards program and now spends less.
mmm, so did I. However, it is still expensive.
The Starbucks app rewards you with a free food or drink after a certain amount of purchases. However, I still find this an expensive option because you still pay the regular price for whatever you are buying before you can get something free.
For me, saving money is about my out of pocket expense, not just about getting a freebie.
However, one way I save money at Starbucks is with Shopkick app.
What is Shopkick
Shopkick is a shopping rewards app that gives you “kicks” (or points) for scanning certain items, walking into certain stores, purchasing products through the app, or browsing products.
The app is free and available from the google or app store.
The kicks accumulate, and are redeemable for rewards such as gift cards and merchandise.
Use my referral code SHOP146357 to get started with free kicks.
One of the rewards gift cards to redeem is a Starbucks gift card.
Because there are several ways to accumulate ‘kicks’, it is easy to reach the amount needed to redeem for a $5 Starbucks gift card. You can definitely get a cup of java for less than $5 at Starbucks.
How to get Starbucks e-gift card with Shopkick
If you have a smartphone, follow these simple steps to get free food or drinks at Starbucks:
- Download the Shopkick app on your smartphone – Android or Apple (use invite code SHOP146357)
- Start Earning kicks (walking into certain stores, purchasing products through the app, or browsing products)
- Don’t forget to double up your savings by joining the Starbucks rewards program.
- Once you have 1250 kicks redeem for a Starbucks gift card.
- Enter the Starbucks gift card information from Shopkick on the “pay” section of the Starbucks app.
- Go to Starbucks, and use Starbucks app to pay.
Not only will you get a free drink, you’ll also earn stars.
TaLis Tip: Redeem your gift card on “Starbucks Happy Hours” days and other special events to get extra stars.
Redeem 1250 kicks for a $5 Starbucks card. (this video shows you how to get ‘kicks’ from the comfort of your couch)
Presto – Free food or coffee at Starbucks! This purchase will also count towards earning Starbucks ‘stars’ and get a freebie as long as you use the Starbucks app
I later saw the person that use to spend $200 a month on their morning coffee routine. After doing the above, she was still going to Starbucks, but said she was happily saving a ton of money!
TaLis Tip
Stack Shopkick with other apps. I recommend you also use other cash back apps that pay along with Shopkick.
Happy Savings,
