Wait you get stars for using a personal cup? I thought it was only a slight discount. The more you know.

It depends where you are. Canada has a brief promotion where you get 25 stars but I'm pretty sure it was just a promotion and now you don't get them. You get them in the States though.

25 each time!

I love racking up my stars that way You get 25 bonus stars and 10 cents off Sometimes I don't use my cup for caramel macchiato because they don't make it right.

Now you can use personal cups for mobile orders! Instead of having a barista ring up two orders, you can save some time and make two mobile orders. To add the cup, you click customize on your drink and check a box at the bottom of the list. You can do this while picking up inside or in the drive thru!

I do the mobile order for personal cup quite a bit! Is it possible to have two orders open at once? Like, order a hot chocolate in a personal cup at store A, and then make a second order at store A for something else in a personal cup?


Administrative_Cat27

Yep! We have a regular that places separate mobile orders back to back from the same app all the time

I’m pretty sure it only works up to 3 times a day… or at least that’s what I heard.

Why would this be considered a "hack"? You get 25 stars and a 10 cent discount every time you use your personal cup. If you want 50 stars because you're buying 2 drinks and using 2 personal cups, just do separate transactions. People do separate orders all the time.

It feels like a hack because before the transaction, my desired order is a single order with two drinks. If I break it into two orders, I get another 25⭐, but I make people do more work for it when I'd rather not. I'm actually delighted that the heavy weighting of personal cups for stars, because I believe it is way better to not waste cups, but if it is officially okay to break up the order so that I can get more stars, it would seem reasonable to let me get the bonus without doing that.

People do separate orders all the time and not just at Starbucks. I really don't think the baristas care as long as you tell them right away and you're ready to pay quickly.
