Once you link your Bank of America debit or credit card to your Starbucks Rewards account, the only other action you will need to take to earn Bonus Stars and Cash Back is to make a Qualifying Purchase in the Starbucks app by:
- Using your Linked Card to reload your registered Starbucks Card through the Starbucks app, or
- Using your Linked Card to pay for a Mobile Order and Pay purchase, or
- Paying with your Linked Card using Scan & pay in the Starbucks app at Participating Starbucks Stores
You will only receive Bonus Stars and Cash Back for Qualifying Purchases made with your Bank of America card after linking. Purchases made with a linked Bank of America card outside of the Starbucks app are not eligible for additional Stars and Cash Back.
“Qualifying Purchase” means any purchase made with a Linked Card and paid through the Starbucks mobile or web application. Qualifying Purchases include registered Starbucks Card reloads, purchases of food, beverages, packaged coffee, and/or merchandise at participating Starbucks stores, excluding purchases of alcoholic beverages, Starbucks Card eGifts and physical Starbucks gift cards (“Starbucks Cards”). “Participating Starbucks Stores” are Starbucks locations where a Starbucks Rewards program member can earn Stars (as defined in the Starbucks Rewards Terms of Use) and Cash Back. Not all Starbucks stores have the ability to award Stars and Cash Back. Purchases made with a Linked Card outside of the Starbucks Rewards mobile or web application are not Qualifying Purchases and are not eligible for Bonus Stars or the Cash Back Offer.
