A coffee you didn’t pay for tastes a little better. With Playout you can earn a free Starbucks gift card by playing casual games on your Android phone: finished levels add coins, coins turn into money, and the money becomes a Starbucks eGift card you can add to the Starbucks app. It’s a small, regular treat from time you’d spend on your phone anyway.
How to get a free Starbucks gift card in 3 steps
- Install Playout and choose a game. Playout is free on Google Play, and there’s no sign-up form; your account is tied to your phone. A calm game like Mahjong Smart or Bolt Out goes nicely with a coffee break.
- Finish levels. Each finished level adds coins. Every four hours, your coins convert into real money in your balance.
- Cash out for Starbucks. Once you reach the minimum, tap your balance at the top of the Home screen and pick a Starbucks gift card. The eGift card arrives by email, usually within minutes.
The gift cards you can pick depend on your country, and the app shows the ones available to you.

What you can get with a Starbucks gift card
A Starbucks gift card is a Starbucks Card with a balance, accepted at participating Starbucks stores. Use it for:
- Your usual drink, from a plain filter coffee to a seasonal special.
- Breakfast and snacks, like pastries and sandwiches.
- Coffee to brew at home, where stores sell whole bean or ground coffee.
- Ordering ahead in the Starbucks app, where your store offers it, so your drink is waiting when you arrive.
In countries with the Starbucks Rewards program, paying with a card you’ve added to the app can also earn you Stars toward free items.
