So dissatisfied with their games anymore. I get nothing. Used to get baked goods at least
Appreciate this game, but I think it’s a little ridiculous that you now have to watch the same 2+ minute video every single time (and answer questions about it) to get the free plays.
I used mute after a couple of times of listening.
same thought i thought last year watching the same 30 second video was bad im not watching a 2 minute ideo twice a day every day for a free play especially since you never win anything anymore so dissatisfied with starbucks anymore and their games they used to be so fun to play
You can just skip the video to the end 👍
You can just move the marker to the end next time. That’s what I did.
Agree !! I just mute it and put “idk” as answers and works just fine
Me too!
Totally agree. You can fast forward a bit but not totally and sometimes it doesn’t work
What;s with the Cafe. question ?
They just changed it to a 15 sec video!
Any tips for playing this game for better results?
You have the old star redemptions chart on here. For example, 100 stars is now needed to redeem a hot coffee or bakery item (not 50 as in the chart above), 200 is needed for a handcrafted drink, etc.
Whoops! Thanks for pointing that out, Linda!🙌❤️ I’ll get that updated!
Not sure who would have the patience to watch this video. Absolutely ridiculous on Starbucks part.
Starbucks needs to do better. The same video is crazy. I just fast forward it.
Says I’m ineligible,anyone know why ?
Hi lisa! Here’s what I’m finding on eligibility, if that might be helpful 🤞 – “NO PURCHASE NECESSARY. LEGAL RESIDENTS OF THE 50 UNITED STATES (D.C.) 18 AND OLDER AND WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE STARBUCKS® REWARDS LOYALTY PROGRAM AT THE TIME OF ENTRY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED. Starbucks Partners (employees) are not eligible to win prizes.”
Thank you,for your help,can always count on Hip2Save,for answers.first check with you,before I call.
Aww, you’re so welcome Lisa! Glad it was helpful. ❤️ Were you able to get entered?
Yes,Jessica,your the best.👍
🥰 YAY!! 🎉 Cheering you on for some great wins! 🤞
Thanks,hopefully your my lucky charm.😁
You’re welcome! ❤️❤️🤞☕️
I love the Starbucks games. I don’t go there much unless there is a 50% off or I have enough stars for a free drink or if I happen to have gift card money. These games are how I earn most of my stars. Just won 30 stars total this morning. I don’t understand all of the complaining. They don’t have to actually offer anything like most coffee shops. Fast forward the video til the end and use a ? mark for the questions. Simple and quick. I also won a cute yellow igloo cooler during their summer game last year.
I also won the cooler over the Summer. I don’t go to Starbucks much either & get most stars here. The games are more challenging now than before, but it could be when one plays too.
I agree…so much complaining. If you don’t like doing it simply don’t do it and let others who are grateful have the chance
Have you played in years before? If so, you’d mention too how it’s gone downhill. There’s nothing wrong with expressing opinions.
So if a person has played in years before (which I personally have) we have to mention that it has gone downhill even if we don’t think it has? That doesn’t make any sense.
That’s not what I said. I said people are allowed to express their disappointment in how much it sucks
I remember there was a time when you do the free game, that your info is auto-filled after you entered your info the first time. Now filling that out and the video , it’s becoming tedious. Not sure if I will continue doing it just for free games that don’t give much prizes.
I won 5 stars, which is like 1/100th of a drink, but it’s still fun! I hope I get a bigger prize. I don’t go to Bucks too often these days mainly because they charge an extra 70 cents for almond milk on top of their already high prices! I do love it though.
Hooray for a stars win, Kimberly! I like earning those since they can add up! Hoping you snag an awesome win throughout the game! 🤞❤️
I have filled out free entry 10x and still no free game play. I’ve checked my spam. Logged in and out- nothing.
DARN! Maybe wait a bit and check back again. 🤞❤️
only won 40 stars so far–but won at least $30 in gift cards last sweeps and tattoos and 1000 stars!- that was fun!
I’ve won 5 stars here and and there, 25 stars a few times and a $10 gift card. This game is harder than others, but the games have gotten progressively harder over the years. I do enjoy all the new graphics every game, though.
This game I’ve made out with maybe 100 stars which is more than normal
So glad you’ve earned some bonus stars throughout this game so far, TiffMeow! Wishing you luck for more wins! 🎉🤞
I’ve won 5 Stars twice. Better than nothing!
SWEET! It sure is! Congrats, Betsy! 🤗
I won the Stanley cup the other day I was so excited. Been playing for years, and never won a prize. Yay
Awesome win! Congratulations, Alycia! 💞
That’s awesome. Congrats!
they just updated the video to a 15-20 second seasons greeting now. so much nicer.
Yes! It’s definitely a more festive video as well, Adrianne! 🤗 Best of luck! ❤️
I won a $25 Starbucks gift card. So definitely worth watching video.
WOOHOO! 🎉 Congrats on the win, Carla! 💕
I won a $25 Starbucks gift card playing about 1:30am this morning.
I think I’ve only won misc. stars before.
And I can’t get that “Play Holiday Run” game to work on cell or desktop. Waddles leads to : We’re sorry. An error has occurred. Please try again. Return to Home.
YAY! 🙌 Congratulations on winning a gift card! Bummer that the game isn’t working for you. Hoping it might work for you soon! 🤞💗
First time winning one of the “collect and win” prizes. Sadly the prize is 100 stars whose value is less than $3 but it gives me hope for next year lol.
Thanks for sharing what you won this time, Elvira! 🤗 I only won 5 stars, so you did better than me! 💗
