SEATTLE, 2016-Apr-25 — /EPR Retail News/ — Starbucks recently unveiled a newly redesigned mobile app for iOS and Android users making it even easier for customers to pay, redeem Rewards and have all of the benefits of being a Gold loyalty member.
With the redesign, many things stayed the same while a few things changed. Here are the top 10 things – including a few tips – to know about using the Starbucks app:
1. Updated Dashboard
Everything you love about the Starbucks app is still quickly found at the top of your main Dashboard: payment, store locator, gifting and ordering (for pick up or delivery).
2. Check Your Stars
Available Stars show up at the top of your Dashboard, and Gold members earn a Star Reward after collecting 125 Stars. Tip: When your status changes from Green to Gold, your Star Count resets to zero and you begin collecting Stars towards your first Star Reward.*
3. Track Your Stars
Click on “History” to see how you earned your Stars and the exact number of Stars you’ve collected.
4. Personalized Offers
Below your Star count on the Dashboard, you’ll see personalized content from Starbucks, tailored just for you including offers, Pick of the Week offerings and important dates to know.
5. Reward Status – Green or Gold?
From the Dashboard, click on the number of Stars at the top, which will take you to a Status page. Here you’ll see your status (Green or Gold) at the top of the screen, as well as an interactive Stars display making it even easier to track Stars and Rewards. Tip: Click on “History” to see your Gold requalification date for Gold Status. Some customers need zero stars to requalify so are actually Gold past the visible date.*
6. Where to Find Rewards**
Star Rewards and Birthday Rewards appear on the home dashboard and on the “Rewards page,” found by clicking on the number of Stars on the Dashboard. Use yours to try a new food or drink item, or treat yourself to a beloved favorite.
7. Redeem Rewards
Earned Star Rewards can now be redeemed using Mobile Order & Pay. Available Rewards and Offers appear when confirming your order and can be used simply by clicking “Redeem.”
8. Jump the Line
Click ‘Order’ to use Mobile Order & Pay, order your food and beverage items ahead of time, and jump the line.
9. Treat a Friend
For special occasions or just because, a Starbucks eGift Card is the quickest way to make someone feel special.
10. Discover Music
Use the app to find out what songs are playing in our stores, and discover your next favorite artist.
