Updated at 9:00am PT on 5/31/24: I received the $5 cash back this morning (5/31) for the $25 Starbucks reload.  Screenshots added below.

Updated at 7:20am PT on 5/23/24: I received the $5 cash back this morning (5/23) for sending the $50 gift card through Venmo.  I will post another update when I receive the $5 cash back from the $25 Starbucks reload.


Good afternoon everyone, I just received this email from Venmo about 2 promos.  You can get $5 cash back after you spend $25 in the Starbucks app or reload $25 to your Starbucks balance.  You can also earn $5 cash back after sending a $50 gift card via the Venmo app, up to 3 times ($15 cash back limit).  I decided to jump on both deals since I use the Venmo and Starbucks apps often.

The $5 cash back will post 7-14 days after you use the promo and there are limits on the number of redemptions per deal.  Here are the complete terms from the bottom of the email (important details are bolded below):

Here is the link to reload your Starbucks app (link works best on your mobile phone if you have the Starbucks app installed).  I selected Venmo as a payment method and reloaded $25 to my account.

I then received the $25 Starbucks reload receipt via email.  1 done, 1 to go.

On May 31, I received the $5 cash back from Venmo.  It took about 9 days to receive the cash back.  I then removed my Venmo from my Starbucks app.


Here is the link to purchase a gift card via the Venmo app (link works best on your mobile phone if you have the Venmo app installed). I went through the steps and purchased a $50 Starbucks gift card and sent it to Laura.

I then received the $50 Starbucks / Venmo receipt via email.  2 done, now time to wait for both $5 cash back payments from Venmo.

Here is the $5 cash back email I received from Venmo the following morning.  It took about 12 hours from purchasing the $50 gift card to receiving the $5 cash back.

It took me about 5 minutes total to complete both promos.  If you have any questions about either Venmo promo, please leave a comment below.  Have a great day everyone!
