   Go to https://www.starbucks.com in a web browser. To make sure you get your partner discount when buying drinks, food, and other items in the Starbucks mobile app, you’ll need to link your partner number to your Starbucks account in a web browser.

   • Even if you’ve already added your Partner Card to the mobile app as a gift card, you’ll still need to link your partner number to get your discount when paying in the Starbucks app.
   • Without linking your partner number, your Partner Card will only get you discounts in physical stores—not in the mobile app.
   • You can use any web browser on your computer, phone, or tablet to add your partner number.

   Sign in or create an account. If you already have a Starbucks Rewards account that you use in the mobile app, you don’t have to create a new one—just sign in to that account. If you don’t have an account, you can easily create one now.

   • To sign in to an existing account, click Sign in on a computer or tap the three-line menu and choose Sign in on a phone or tablet.
   • If you don’t have an account, you can create one by clicking Join now at the top of the page (on a computer) or tapping the three-line menu and selecting Join now (on a phone or tablet).

   Switch to desktop mode if you’re using a phone or tablet. If you’re using a computer, adding your partner number to your account is super straightforward.

   • If you’re using Safari on an iPhone, tap Aa in the address bar and choose Request Desktop Website.
   • In Chrome, tap the three dots at the top-right or bottom-right and select Request Desktop Site.
   • In the Samsung Internet browser, tap the three lines at the bottom-right and select Desktop site.

   Get your Partner Card number and PIN. When you add your Partner Card as a gift card in the Starbucks mobile app, you can use your card to pay at the register and receive your discount.

If you don’t have your card, you can find it in MyPartnerInfo (MPI):

   • Go to https://mypartnerinfo-ext.starbucks.com/partnerportal.^[1]
     
   • Log in with your partner number and password.
   • Click Partner Card.
   • Write down your partner card number and 8-digit PIN.

   Make a purchase using your Partner Card. Now that you’ve added your Partner Card to the Starbucks app, you can easily bring it up when paying in store by tapping Scan at the bottom of the screen. Since your Partner Card is now your default payment card, it’ll be the first card on the screen.
