&nbsp;“Having a&nbsp;connection&nbsp;with our customers, whether in our stores or&nbsp;digitally,&nbsp;allows us to&nbsp;anticipate their needs&nbsp;and deliver&nbsp;the&nbsp;products and experiences they are looking for.&nbsp;Our customers&nbsp;have shared with us&nbsp;that they would like more options&nbsp;to pay and earn Stars in the app as a Starbucks Rewards member,&nbsp;in addition to&nbsp;the Starbucks&nbsp;Card,”&nbsp;said Brady Brewer, Starbucks chief marketing officer. “We expect the expansion of payment options will appeal to an even wider customer audience and deepen engagement with our members.”&nbsp;

Current Starbucks Rewards members will continue to enjoy all of the <a href="https://www.starbucks.com/rewards/">benefits</a> of the company’s loyalty program and the Starbucks app. Beginning this fall, all members can choose to pay with their preloaded Starbucks Card and earn two Stars per $1, or earn one Star per $1 spent when they scan and pay with a credit/debit card, cash, or select mobile wallets at participating stores.
