Starbucks is giving away free $5 gift cards. Here's how to get yours.
GET A FREE $5 STARBUCKS GIFT CARD: Buy a $25 Starbucks gift card and receive a free $5 Starbucks e-gift card while supplies last.
Last week, we were all buzzing with news that Starbucks was releasing more viral Bearista Cups via the app. Fast-forward to today and we're all virtually running around Milan collecting red Starbucks cup in an attempt to win big. If you're not having much luck with the Starbucks Merrython, there's another way to feel like you're winning with the coffee giant.
From now until Dec. 19, purchase a $25 Starbucks gift card and receive a free $5 Starbucks eGift card. You can qualify for this deal by buying one $25 gift card or five $5 gift cards. Supplies are limited to the first 400,000 customers, so it's possible this offer will sell out before the Dec. 19 deadline. The promo is limited to one free $5 gift card per person.
Getting something for nothing in 2025 feels like a huge win. Since many of us are already stopping by Starbucks for a pick-me-up, this is a great deal to jump on. Buy one $25 gift card for a friend of five $5 gift cards, and you'll get a free $5 e-gift card for yourself. In either case, you'll be snagging a stocking stuffer almost anyone will love.
If your daily morning routine involves stopping by Starbucks and you're done with holiday shopping, grab this deal for yourself since a free $5 is a free $5. It might not buy you an entire 16-ounce drink, but it'll make a nice dent in the price.
While Starbucks is giving us a few days to snag this free gift card deal, the fine print mentions it's limited to the first 400,000 people who take advantage of the deal. Given how popular the coffee chain is, this deal could sell out before Dec. 19, so snatch it up quickly.
