Possible 15 Free Starbucks Stars

Via Dan’s Deals:

Login to your Starbucks account and …enter in the following codes will each give you 5 free stars:
MCATALINM
MCATALINH
MCATALINL

You can only use 2 codes per day.  I used 2 of these last night and the 10 stars are already in my account.  They say the stars can take up to 24 hours to post.  I entered in the 3rd code today and expect to see those stars by tomorrow.

Enter the codes here once you’re logged in.

This is not working for me, so your mileage may vary. However, since Dan posted this and he’s really quite reliable, I pass it along in case the problems are specific to me or my account.

In case this does work for you, 15 Stars is halfway to ‘Gold’ status, which doesn’t get you much:

But it’ll get a Gold member a free drink. I already have Gold status, knowing that they don’t award a credit (“Star”) based on the number of items you purchase. Instead they award a credit — towards achieving status, retaining status, and getting your next free drink — for each swipe of the card.

So if you’re buying two drinks, pay for them ‘separately’ with the same Starbucks card. Three drinks? Pay with three separate swipes. You’ll earn free drinks faster.

  1. I got a coupon (printed at the register upon checkout) at Safeway yesterday with one of these codes. I got the same error message when trying to enter it today.

  2. So it worked for you last night but you decided to post it this morning when codes don’t work anymore.

  3. Al – get a life – and READ the post, it didn’t work for him last night, it worked for Dan’s Deals.

  4. I knew about one of the codes last night (from TheFreebieBlogger), entered it, and it worked. But today with the other too…yeah, same error message.

  5. Take it down or correct the post to say 17 people were unsuccessful and it is a waste of their time…….

  6. two worked for me today. this went viral today, so they are probably used up. but I will attempt the other tomorrow.

  7. To balance the nay sayers, it did work for me yesterday night. Possibly expired after capacity reached.

  8. Thank you! Didn’t have any stars in my account and 1st & 3rd codes worked 🙂

    P.S. This was at 5:30 pm CST on 3/31.

  9. Last one worked and followed another reader’s advice to replace the last letter with a K and that worked for me too! Awesome thanks!

  10. For me: 1st worked, 2nd failed, 3rd worked.

    Don’t know if it makes a difference, but I’ve been Gold level for a few years now.

  11. If it doesn’t work upon first submission, keep submitting. Different results depending upon account and what server the request hits. Also, add this code to the list:

    MCATALINK

    For my dozen or so family accounts, we received 10 stars today and 10 yesterday, using the four codes.

  12. Didn’t work at 1st. I logged out out and relogged back in and it accepted the 2 codes ending in H and L.

  13. I actually received a coupon after checking out at Safeway (no, didn’t buy any Starbucks products while shopping there), with one of these Star Codes. I haven’t gotten the code to work yet, nor the other 2 codes posted above, but I will try again tomorrow. (May also decide to contact Starbucks customer service, since I have a legit paper coupon for this.)

  14. First two codes worked on first try today. Yesterday only the last code worked, and the stars posted on account.
    Thanks.
