Starbucks® Philippines Upgrades Rewards Program with Multi-Tiered Perks and a Brand New App

Your nest Starbucks run just got even better. Starbucks Philippines has rolled out a brand-new Starbucks PH App along with a refreshed Starbucks® Rewards program that gives members more flexibility over how they use their Stars. The update introduces a new Multi-Tiered Rewards system, letting customers redeem rewards from as little as 50 Stars instead of waiting to collect 100 Stars for a single reward.

Whether you’re craving a quick snack, planning your next coffee break, or saving up for a full meal, the new rewards program offers more choices to match every visit.

More Rewards, More Ways to Treat Yourself

The biggest change is simple: you now decide when and how to use your Stars.

Previously, every 100 Stars automatically became a reward voucher for a free handcrafted beverage, bakery item, or cake slice. With the new Multi-Tiered Rewards system, members can redeem Stars across different reward levels, giving them greater control over their Starbucks experience.

Here’s what your Stars can get you:

50 Stars
Perfect for a quick treat. Redeem your Stars for a free drink customization (excluding breve and 2 oz heavy cream) or enjoy select bakery favorites like a bagel, doughnut, or slice of banana loaf.

100 Stars
Choose from a handcrafted beverage or a bakery item. This excludes Coffee Traveler Kits, French Press coffee, and Starbucks Reserve Ice Cream beverages.

150 Stars
Ready for something more filling? Redeem your Stars for selected pastas, sandwiches, or a slice of cake.

The result is a rewards system that feels more flexible, whether you’re stopping by for your morning coffee or settling in for lunch.

Meet the New Starbucks PH App

Alongside the updated rewards program comes the new Starbucks PH App, now available on the App Store and Google Play Store.

The redesigned app introduces features that make every visit more convenient, including faster sign-in and real-time Star tracking. Members can also redeem rewards directly in the app before placing their order at the counter, making the process quicker and more seamless.

Current Members Can Switch Without the Hassle

Already a Starbucks Rewards member? There’s no need to worry about starting over.

When you log in to the new Starbucks PH App, your existing account credentials, stored card balance, and earned Stars automatically carry over. You’ll be able to continue earning and redeeming rewards without missing a beat.

Reward vouchers also continue to have a 90-day validity period. The difference now is that the countdown only begins once you choose to redeem your Stars, giving you more freedom to decide when to enjoy your reward.

Why This Matters for Starbucks Fans

Let’s be honest: no two coffee runs are ever quite the same. Some days, you just need your favorite coffee to survive a Monday morning meeting. Other days call for a full lunch break with a warm Roasted Chicken Pesto, Shiitake Mushroom and Emmental Cheese Flatbread, or a refreshing Strawberry Acai Lemonade to cool down in the afternoon. If you’re a regular at Starbucks, this update makes the loyalty program noticeably more rewarding.

Instead of waiting until you’ve earned 100 Stars, you can start redeeming sooner, save up for bigger treats, or choose rewards that fit what you’re craving that day. It also adds more flexibility for customers who visit Starbucks for more than just coffee, whether it’s a pastry during a busy afternoon or a hearty meal before heading back to work.

Combined with the upgraded mobile app, the experience feels more personalized and convenient for members across the Philippines.

Ready for your next Starbucks run?

The new app and multi-tiered rewards are already live in all Starbucks stores nationwide. Download or update the new Starbucks PH App today, check your current Star balance, and pick out your favorite reward before you head to the counter! Your next favorite reward might be closer than you think.

Starbucks Philippines Invites Everyone to be a Community Champion This Global Month of Good

As part of its annual Global Month of Good celebration, Starbucks Philippines is reinforcing its commitment to the communities it serves – while inviting more Filipinos to take part in their own way.

This year, Starbucks highlights a simple but powerful idea: anyone can be a Community Champion through small, everyday actions that create meaningful change for the environment, the community, and other people.

“Our local initiatives are grounded in the belief that meaningful change starts with strong community connections,” said Jamie Silva, senior manager for Marketing, Digital Customer Experience and Social Impact, Starbucks Philippines. “From education to disaster response initiatives and partner volunteerism, 2025 reflects how collective action can create lasting impact.”

In 2026, Starbucks Philippines is expanding its community impact initiatives through strengthened partnerships, improved access to essentials, and more opportunities for both partners (employees) and customers to take part in meaningful action.

Supporting Communities Where They Need the Most

Through its partnership with Planet Water Foundation and The Starbucks Foundation, Starbucks Philippines provides clean water access and hygiene education to an estimated 42,400 people in various regions around the country. This April, a ninth AquaTower will be installed in Camarines Sur, extending access to safe drinking to around 7,000 more individuals.

Starbucks Philippines also continues its longstanding partnership with HOPE to support education. Each year, Starbucks partners (employees) come together to help build safe and inspiring learning spaces for underserved communities. This year marks the completion of a sixth public school classroom in Sarangani in April, helping provide safe and conducive learning spaces for students in the community.

Alongside its community initiatives, Starbucks Philippines is also strengthening its sustainability efforts within its store operations. Starbucks Philippines has partnered with MPower to supply electricity to around 60 Metro Manila stores under the Retail Aggregation Program. This partnership is expected to result in improved operational efficiency while supporting long-term sustainability goals.

Continuing Efforts Powered by Volunteerism

Starbucks’ commitment to being a Community Champion is also reflected through volunteerism and everyday participation.

Starbucks Community Stores in Abad Santos, Tondo, and Maysilo Circle continue to support education programs in partnership with AHA! Learning Center, Young Focus Foundation, and Mano Amiga Philippines. To date, more than 1,500 learners have benefited from after-school sessions, literacy development activities, and leadership-building programs that help them gain confidence and stay engaged in school.

Addressing food insecurity remains a key focus. Through its FoodShare program, Starbucks has redirected nearly 3 million rescuable food items from close to 300 stores nationwide. In partnership with The Philippine Food Bank Foundation and Grab Philippines, surplus food is distributed to various communities.

Beyond these organized programs, Starbucks encourages customers to take part in simple, everyday actions throughout Global Month of Good. In their own small way, store visits can become part of the impact. Customers can use for-here ware or bring their own tumblers for their coffee orders and enjoy a PHP 10 discount.

Simple actions, when done together, can create a meaningful impact over time. This Global Month of Good, everyone is invited to be a Community Champion. To learn more about the Global Month of Good, visit starbucks.ph/social-impact.

A Cup of Change: Starbucks Philippines Brews Opportunities for Tondo’s Youth

Starbucks Philippines is no stranger to stirring up more than just your favorite beverages; they’re brewing real change in the community, too. Last September 2023 marked a milestone for the coffee giant as it opened the doors to its first-ever Community Store in Abad Santos, Tondo, Manila. This isn’t just any Starbucks outlet—it’s a beacon of hope and empowerment for the area’s young minds.

Brewing a Brighter Future

In a meaningful partnership with Young Focus and AHA! Learning Center, the Tondo Community Store goes beyond serving coffee; it serves the youth. A slice of every purchase goes directly into scholarships and after-school learning programs for out-of-school youngsters. This initiative shines a light on Starbucks’ commitment to nurturing the community it thrives in, ensuring every sip contributes to a child’s brighter tomorrow.

Education as the Perfect Blend

Starbucks’ Community Store is more than a place for coffee aficionados; it’s a hub for growth and learning. By supporting Young Focus Foundation’s scholarship programs and AHA! Learning Center’s complimentary after-school tutoring, Starbucks is helping mold the future leaders of the Philippines. These programs offer a well-rounded curriculum focusing not just on academic excellence but also on social-emotional development—preparing students for real-world challenges.

Empowering Women, Empowering Communities

In alignment with Women’s Month, the spotlight shines on empowering the women leaders of tomorrow. Starbucks Philippines invited pioneering women from various industries to engage with the youth scholars. These sessions, rich with discussions on mental health, career development, and environmental responsibility, aim to inspire and motivate. It’s about showing these young women that their dreams have no limits, and their gender is not a barrier to success.

Jamie Silva, senior manager for Marketing, Digital Customer Experience & Loyalty at Starbucks Philippines, spoke on the importance of having a clear career vision and the flexibility to navigate diversity. “Prior to joining Starbucks, I explored various industries to broaden my perspective,” Jamie shared. “There is no single prescribed career trajectory. By embracing the transformative power of education and a forward-thinking mindset, no limitations can constrain your journey. Forge your path as a woman empowered to shape her own destiny.” Through her journey, Jamie exemplifies the significance of continuous learning, adaptability, and the pursuit of one’s passions to carve out a fulfilling career path.

Lynn Pinugu is the the co-founder of Mano Amiga Philippines and She Talks Asia who has continued to use her strong voice to advocate for women empowerment and mental wellness. Having a strong background in helping women in different stages of their lives, Lynn is passionate about taking care of one’s mental wellness and shared her experiences as a woman leader in her field. “Being surrounded by like-minded women really helped me in my career and of course, has a positive impact on my mental wellness. In empowering women, it is also important that you yourself are an empowered woman, and this includes finding self-care practices that fit you and your needs,” she shared.

Multi-awarded Filipina filmmaker and director Antoinette Jadaone spoke on the importance of using the platform you are given for good. The films that she produced over the years allow her to tell different stories that the audience may relate to, further reaching various individuals who may be going through the same experiences. “Making films is unique and exciting, but it is also a very powerful position to be in and I make it a point to never forget this. Anyone, even little girls, can have the opportunity to see my films so I know that I have a responsibility that I do not take lightly.” Filmmaking is a male-dominated industry, and she is determined to make her mark in hopes of representing women and inspiring the next generation to do the same.

Anina Rubio is a sought-after visual artist who uses art to spread her personal advocacy for sustainability and environmental conservation. She strongly encourages the youth to do their part in taking care of the planet. “We can all take care of the planet in our own, small ways. A personal example is when I order my favorite Starbucks drink, I make sure to always bring a reusable cup to minimize my usage of plastic. These little acts of service for the planet will go a long way.” Starbucks Philippines is committed to strengthening the communities it serves through Sustainability and care for the planet.

A Toast to the Future

Starbucks Philippines envisions its Community Store as more than a place for coffee; it’s a ground for cultivating dreams and ambitions. Jamie Silva, reflecting on the initiative, emphasized the importance of education in shaping a generation capable of breaking norms and pursuing their passions fearlessly. Starbucks’ dedication to this cause underscores a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of community support and education. “Our Community Store’s dedication to youth education underscores our mission to make a meaningful impact on the next generation within our local communities,” says Jamie Silva. “As we celebrate International Women’s Day and honor our future leaders, it’s crucial to recognize the pivotal role education plays in shaping progressive thinkers and empowering women to break free from societal constraints, allowing them to excel in their endeavors and pursue their passions.”

Join the Movement

Witness firsthand how your cup of coffee can change lives. For more behind-the-scenes looks at Starbucks Philippines’ community-driven efforts and to stay updated on their upcoming events and initiatives, make sure to visit starbucks.ph/stories and follow them across all social media platforms.

Starbucks Philippines’ Journey: Brewing Impact, Sipping Sustainability

Starbucks Philippines, in its pursuit of becoming a resource-positive company, reiterates its commitment to giving back more to the planet than it takes. As the company celebrates its 25th year milestone, a series of impactful initiatives reflects its dedication to creating positive change in the communities it serves.

Prioritizing Well-being and Sustainability

President Noey Lopez emphasizes the guiding principle driving Starbucks Philippines: prioritizing the well-being of customers and giving more than what is taken from the planet. It’s not just a promise; it’s a commitment to a sustainable future. “Our local initiatives align with the company’s promise to contribute positively to our communities and have also evolved to reflect our commitment to sustainable practices through our partners (employees) and customers. As we navigate towards a more sustainable future, our guiding principle remains unwavering — by prioritizing the well-being of our customers and giving more than what we take from our planet.”

Social Impact Initiatives: Empowering Communities

Achieving Gender Pay Equity

Since 2021, Starbucks Philippines has achieved a remarkable milestone by ensuring 100% gender pay equity. The commitment to inclusion and diversity has created opportunities for all partners, with female employees now representing more than 50% of the Starbucks Philippines workforce.

Community Store for Youth Education

In September 2023, Starbucks Philippines opened its inaugural Community Store in partnership with the Young Focus Foundation and AHA! Learning Center. The Abad Santos Tondo Community Store focuses on advancing youth education, with a portion of every purchase contributing to scholarships and after-school programs.

Starbucks Foodshare Program

Launched in March 2022 in collaboration with the Philippine Food Bank Foundation and Grab Philippines, the Starbucks Foodshare program has become a nationwide effort. The company has donated close to 1 million rescuable food items to communities in need, addressing food waste while supporting those facing hunger.

Providing Clean Water and Meals

Through partnerships with The Starbucks Foundation and Planet Water Foundation, Starbucks Philippines has provided access to clean, safe drinking water and hygiene education to over 7,000 people across Luzon. The construction of a fourth AquaTower in San Antonio Central School, Quezon, in April 2023, marks another milestone.

Global Community Impact Grants

Starbucks Philippines, through Global Community Impact Grants awarded by The Starbucks Foundation, strengthens its partnership with Gawad Kalinga’s Kusina ng Kalinga. This collaboration has served close to 250,000 meals to 1,800 children in Metro Manila, Cebu, Camarines Sur, and Bohol, making a meaningful difference in the fight against hunger.

Sipping Sustainability: Starbucks Philippines’ Environmental Commitments

Greener Stores for a Greener Tomorrow

In a monumental step towards environmental sustainability, Starbucks Philippines opened its first two Greener Stores this year. Located at The Shops at Ayala Triangle Garden and One Ayala, these stores are designed to reduce carbon emissions, minimize water usage, and cut landfill waste.

Plastic Credit Exchange Partnership

Actively involved in waste management, Starbucks Philippines, in partnership with the Plastic Credit Exchange, has offset over 200 metric tons of plastic as of 2023. The Aling Tindera Site in Palatiw, Pasig, serves as a livelihood center and a plastic waste collection hub.

Ongoing Waste Reduction Efforts

As part of ongoing waste reduction efforts, Starbucks Philippines has transitioned to 100% paper straws in all stores and for delivery orders. The shift from bubble wrap to carton boxes and carton filters in packages from their official Lazada store since 2021 further reinforces the commitment to reducing environmental impact.

Encouraging Reusables: Discounts and Rewards

Customers are encouraged to bring their reusable cups or tumblers, enjoying a Php 10 discount on handcrafted drinks. During the Starbucks Global Month of Good in April, Rewards members received 5 Bonus Stars for choosing reusables.
