Checking Starbucks Card Balance

Here’s how you can check your Starbucks Card balance:

Via the Starbucks Website

  1. Visit the Starbucks website.
  2. If you’re not already logged in, click ‘Sign In’ at the top right corner of the page and enter your credentials.
  3. Click on ‘Cards.’ Here, you’ll see all your registered Starbucks Cards.
  4. Click on the Card for which you want to check the balance. The balance will be displayed on the screen.

Via the Starbucks Mobile App

  1. Open the Starbucks app on your mobile device.
  2. Tap ‘Pay.’
  3. Here, you’ll see your registered Starbucks Cards. The balance of each card is displayed underneath the card image.

Checking Balance Without a Security Code

The security code (or CSC) is usually required for online balance checks for security reasons. If you don’t have your security code, you can check your balance at any Starbucks store or by calling Starbucks’ customer service.

Scanning for Balance

You can easily scan your Starbucks Card balance using the Starbucks app:

  1. Open the app and tap ‘Pay.’
  2. Choose the card you want to use for payment.
  3. A barcode for your card will appear on the screen. Show this at the register, and the barista can scan it and tell you your remaining balance.

Checking Balance Without a Card Number

If you don’t have your card number, you can check your balance in-person at any Starbucks store or through the Starbucks app, provided you’ve registered the card on the app.

Starbucks Refill Policy

Starbucks offers free refills to customers during the same visit at a participating store. If you’re a Starbucks Rewards member, you’re eligible for free refills of hot or iced brewed coffee or tea, regardless of the original beverage purchased, as long as you use your registered Starbucks Card to purchase your drink and present it again when you request your refill.

Conclusion

The Starbucks Card offers a wealth of convenience for coffee lovers, making it easy to pay for orders, earn rewards, and track spending. By understanding how to check your card balance—whether you have your security code, card number, or neither—you can better manage your coffee spending.

And with the added benefit of free refills for Starbucks Rewards members, your Starbucks Card may just become your new best friend. So, keep sipping, keep refilling, and keep enjoying your Starbucks journey.
