Introduction

Did you lose access to your Starbucks account? As long as you did not violate the Terms of Service, you can still recover your account. To do this, you need to have access to the registered email address. Otherwise, you may lose the Starbucks rewards you've earned. But don't worry, it may still be possible to redeem them as long as you have your Starbucks card. If you need help recovering your account, continue reading —we'll walk you through the steps to regain access to your Starbucks account.

Go to the Sign In Page

Visit the Starbucks homepage and click the Sign In button in the upper-right corner.

Click the Forgot Password Link

Did you forget your username? Don't worry, Starbucks lets you use your email address as your username. If you can't remember which email address is associated with your Starbucks account and you have multiple email addresses, just go to the search box for each of your email addresses and type 'Starbucks'.

If you forgot your password, click on the Forgot Password Link and proceed to the next step.

Enter the Email Address

Enter the email address associated with your Starbucks account, then click Reset Password.

Wait for the Email from Starbucks

Check the reset password link sent to the registered email address. If you can't find it in your inbox, check the junk or spam folder —it's likely there. Note that the password reset link is valid only for a limited time, so we suggest resetting your password as soon as you receive the email.

If you no longer have access to the email address associated with your Starbucks account, proceed to the next step.

Visit the Closest Starbucks

Visit the Starbucks homepage and click Find a Store. Enter your address to see a list of nearby Starbucks stores and their complete addresses. You can also find information on when the coffee shop closes. Make sure to visit only during store hours. You may also contact Starbucks via their contact page. Look for the 1-800 number provided and call them directly. Let them know what happened, and they should be able to assist you.

Chat With Starbucks

If you have other concerns about your account, visit their Customer Service page. You will be given an option to send a message to Starbucks or to chat with a representative. Note that business hours are 4 am to 10 pm, PST, for chat services, and 5 am to 8 pm, PST, for phone services.

Scroll down to the bottom for the chat feature. You can speak to a live agent by calling during business hours. If you are a busy person and only have time in the evenings or during holidays, don't worry —there are still ways to get in touch with Starbucks Support. That's how we can help.

Conclusion

If you downloaded the Starbucks app, feel free to reset your password there as well. The process is the same: click Forgot Password, enter your email address, and wait for the password reset link. Follow the instructions and create a strong password for your account. If you suspect suspicious activities on your account, consider resetting your password again. We also recommend keeping your Starbucks card to maintain access to the Rewards program. Still have questions? Don't hesitate to contact Support ASAP.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Starbucks Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Starbucks in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our How Do I Recover My Starbucks Account? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
