MrsKC08 Posted October 7, 2019 #8 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Also curious about this. I've sailed Harmony and Oasis but at the time was not a coffee drinker. I am now addicted to Starbucks Americano (especially the Blonde roast). I know you can't use the app to pay, but I'm curious if I can use Starbucks gift cards. Do you collect your stars in the app??

Thanks Bob. I knew you would know the answer! I'm thinking that there would be no way to earn the stars if they can't use the app to pay. But figured I would get a starbucks gift card to use for those purchases instead of using my OBC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can use your app to pay (not pre-order) and earn your stars but can't redeem your free rewards on board ship. At least that was how it was the last time we were on Harmony and Allure Edited October 7, 2019 by Goofyfanatic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've used our cards on Allure and Oasis. Never asked about the app because we don't carry our phones with us unless we're in a US port where we can use them without extra charges.

The app is really your reward card on your phone...so if you were using your rewards card to get your stars you can use the app. Again though you can't place your order ahead of time.

I know what the app is. I have it and have for a long time. What no one can clarify is IF you can use the app on the ship, but as I said, we didn't try, even though I use it ALL the time normally.

I think you would have the best luck with the CD.

AshleyDillo Posted October 11, 2019 #23 Share Posted October 11, 2019 You CAN use the app on the ship. Just remember that you may need Internet to access to card while on the ship. The app is basically just an electronic code for the gift card that is attached to your account. They have the ability to scan this on the Oasis class ships. You will earn stars for purchases but you can not redeem any stars. If you aren't going to have Internet onboard and you want to use your card to earn stars (and don't have the physical card that the app is tied to) then just take a screenshot before you get on the ship of the pay screen from the app and then pull that up to pay at the Starbucks onboard.

Yes, it can be used. Yes, you earn stars. No, you cannot redeem stars or qualify for other promos (Star Dash, etc.). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
