  1. To get your Starbucks Gold Card, the first thing that you’ll need to do is register online at http://www.starbucks.com/rewards. Enter your personal info, along with the 16-digit code at the back of your rewards card. You can also register digital cards via the Starbucks app, by simply entering your payment details.
  2. Next, you’ll need to start earning stars. Make sure that every time you purchase food or beverages from the chain, that you’re scanning your rewards card first. Every dollar you spend at stores will count as one star.
  3. In order to earn your Gold Card, you will need to reach 300 stars over 12 months, which means $150 throughout the year.
  4. Finally, you can claim your card by entering your mailing address online via http://www.starbucks.com/account, so that they can send you your gold card. 

Customers should bear in mind that to keep their Gold Card status, they’ll need to keep earning 300 stars every year.
