One of last year’s big holiday contests was the \u00a0“Starbucks for Life<\/a>,” a giveaway that would eventually grant some \u00a0very\u00a0lucky Starbucks cardholders one free item per day for 30 years.<\/p>\n

This year’s “Starbucks for Life” sweepstakes<\/a>, which runs until January 11, again offers 30 years of free\u00a0coffee, but adds a new twist: there is a game that customers must play if they hope to win the prize. Last year 14 customers -10 in the U.S.<\/a>, three in Canada and one in the UK \u2013 won the grand prize of Starbucks for Life\u00a0 in the \u201cIt\u2019s a Wonderful Card\u201d sweepstakes last holiday. The estimated value of the ultimate prize in the U.S. was $54,000, and it included an engraved card made of 10K hammered gold. This year, however,\u00a0only five<\/strong> participants in the U.S. will take home the grand prize during this holiday season\u2019s contest. However, competing in the sweepstakes will also make you eligible to win Starbucks for a year, Starbucks for a month and Starbucks for a week.\u00a0\"Starbucks<\/a><\/p>\n

How to Play<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are\u00a0a My Starbucks Rewards\u00ae member\u00a0and you pay for your purchase\u00a0in participating U.S. and Canada stores using a registered card or the Starbucks Mobile App,you will receive one game play.You can then go to starbucksforlife.com<\/a> and log in using your\u00a0My Starbucks Rewards\u00ae credentials to play the game for a chance to win instant prizes, like Bonus Stars, or a game piece to place on\u00a0a\u00a0game board for\u00a0achance to win Starbucks for a day, a week, a month or a lifetime.<\/p>\n

So far, I have won several ‘game pieces’ that fit into the puzzle as well as two Bonus Stars.<\/p>\n

From December 8 to January 11, 2016,<\/strong> rewards members can collect game pieces for the chance to win.<\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong> According to my friend Sam… you can enter without a purchase. See the comments below.<\/p>\n
