5. How does the Starbucks Rewards™ Program work?
Only transactions paid using registered Starbucks Card can earn Stars which shall be added into your Starbucks Rewards™ account.

The benefits that are available to you through Starbucks Rewards™ Program are based on the number of “Stars” that you earn. You can earn Stars by making purchases at any participating Starbucks stores in Cambodia and presenting your relevant registered Starbucks Card or barcode in the Starbucks® Cambodia app to the barista upon payment.

You will earn Stars based on the value of your purchase at the rate of one (1) Star for each United States Dollars fifty cent (USD0.50) spent using any of your registered Starbucks Card. 

Currently, there are two (2) levels of benefits within Starbucks Rewards™ Program that are determined by the number of Stars that you accumulate in your account for each consecutive twelve (12)-months period.  

Green Level: By registering only one (1) of your activated Starbucks Card, you are automatically enrolled into the “Green Level” of the Starbucks Rewards™ Program, which means you will receive the following benefits:
    • One "Birthday Reward" offer on tall size beverage in your birthday month. (Free drink offer is valid in birthday month)   
    • Double stars earned on the first purchase within 30 days after registration.     
    • Earn 5 bonus stars for every cup of promotional beverage during first week of launch.

Gold Level: Upon earning two hundred (200) Stars in a twelve (12)-months period, you will be placed at the “Gold Level” and your Star balance will be reset. the reset at Gold Level means the Stars will automatically be converted into a number of free drink(s) (rounded down) and will only indicate the balance remaining Stars after such conversion. Gold Level benefits include:
    • All Green Level benefits (subject to certain conditions), plus:
    • Birthday Reward
    • One Free Drink Reward. You can redeem for a free tall beverage with every 100 Stars collected. (Free drink offer is valid for 1 month after date of reward)
    • Earn 5 bonus stars for every cup of promotional beverage during first week of launch.
    • Earn 7 bonus stars for every serve-ware purchase.
    • Exclusive offers and promotions.

6. What is a Star and how do I earn one?
You will earn Stars and receive in-store benefits simply by fully paying for a transaction with any Starbucks Card registered to your account at any participating Starbucks stores in Cambodia. You can track your Stars online or on your device by logging into your account at https://card.starbucks.com.kh or through the Starbucks® Cambodia app.

7. How are Stars earned?
One Star will be earned for every US$0.50 spent from your Starbucks account with your registered Starbucks Card or the Starbucks® Cambodia app at participating Starbucks stores in Cambodia. Earning of Stars is attained only through purchases in-store and does not include loading of monetary value into Starbucks Card(s).

Yes, after registering, you have 12 months to accumulate two hundred (200) Stars to reach Gold Level. 

To maintain your Gold Level, you must re-qualify each subsequent 12 months by earning at least 200 Stars and your Star count will be reset on your anniversary date (12 months from the date you reach the Gold level). For your information, the reset at Gold Level means the Stars will automatically be converted into a number of free drink(s) (rounded down) and will only indicate the balance remaining Stars after such conversion. For example, if you have 150 Stars, the reset at Gold Level means you will be entitled to 1 free drink and you will have a balance of 50 Stars.  Otherwise, you will be placed at the Green level and your Star balance will automatically reset to zero (0) on your anniversary date.

If you did not earn two hundred (200) Stars within a twelve (12)-month period to upgrade to the Gold Level, you will remain at the “Green Level” and your Star balance will be reset to zero (0) on your anniversary date.
