Here's why some Starbucks rewards accounts have a negative balance right now.
A Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania graduate student has gone viral for an unusual debt incurred with the world’s biggest coffee chain.about a recent experience with the Starbucks app that led him to be indebted to the big green siren.
“Starbucks accidentally gave me enough stars for a free drink but they caught the error and now they’re making me work off my star debt #%&$@!l? just big and greedy,” Casto wrote in his viral tweet, which shared a pair of screenshots from his personal Starbucks app. The first shows a “Star balance” of -33 stars, and the second, presumably after he made a purchase, shows a balance of -23 stars.
“Same here!!” wrote another user, showing their balance as -77 stars. “I got the 200 stars and got a drink and now I’m in star debt lmao.”“I received the stars after following a promotional link for 200 stars that took me to the rewards page of the Starbucks website,” Casto tells TODAY.com, adding that he was greeted with a “Success!” notification after claiming the promo.
“The stars were loaded onto my account in a few hours and the next morning I redeemed the 200 stars for a free drink with no issues,” he says.
