I have one free Starbuck card. Does it need to be activated before use?

no need to register nor activate. as long as it has balance in it, you can use to buy drink.
normally, we register the cards to our account for the rewards collection, like, accumulated 10 drinks will get one free.

dont forget the birthday cake

How to get birthday cake?

Buy one drink on your birthday month.

must buy grande size drink ya. i double confirm many times with barista. somehow, i dont know who is correct, some of you here said tall size drink also entitle.

2 years from last transaction.

but his card is new card wo.
for used card, it is 3 yrs from last transaction, not 2 yrs.

"Your Starbucks Card expires 3 years from your last transaction."

The reload part is one transaction also...

SB website doesn't say must buy grande size. I've been buying tall sizes. I'll take note for next month since my sis' bday coming up.

for the last few yrs, i have been buying tall size and get my birthday cake too. but only recently, around 2 yrs ago, i noticed the terms changed, which i dont get the free cake after i bought the tall size drink. therefore i ask barista on this, and they told me only grande size entitle the free cake since then. and i just got this confirm again last week when i was in starbucks puteri. not sure if barista is right.

kindly share with us after your tall size purchase and if you see any free cake in your account. thanks for sharing.

Ok, noted with thanks. A few more days to go.

Ooops.. Sorry should be 3 years. New card's first transaction would be reload activity. So 3 years from first reload transaction.

en, make sense.

just dont know when is the date 11street reload the amount for us. these are the cards we bought from 11street during the RM10 promo last time.

Based on one of my cards purchased, it's 2 weeks.

Looks like transfer credit from one card to another is also counted as one transaction. It shows in transaction type - Redeem card.

i got 2 cards registered with 2 different account. Can I transfer the money from 1 account to another account?

cannot. money can only transfer among the cards in the same account.
