The coffee chain says it's making the changes because members have been "earning stars more quickly as the value of purchases has increased", adding that it wants to ensure it can "deliver great value over the long term".

How to redeem your Starbucks rewards points

You can check how many points you have in the Starbucks app. To redeem them:

• At a kiosk, drive-thru or counter: Simply present your personalised QR code every time you pay. Once you've reached a reward threshold, let the cashier know you'd like to redeem the reward and they'll apply the discount.

• Order ahead for collection through the Starbucks app: You can redeem your stars at the checkout or by selecting 'Spend your Stars' from the home screen.
  
  Note that you CAN'T redeem rewards via third-party delivery apps such as Deliveroo, JustEat or Uber Eats.

How the Starbucks loyalty scheme works

Starbucks Rewards lets you earn 10 points for every one pound spent at participating locations (and this isn't changing on 3 September).

Once you have enough points, you can redeem them for certain 'free' items. Plus, collecting 2,500 'stars' – amounting to a £250 spend – will get you to 'Gold Level', meaning you'll unlock access to more 'freebies', plus a free birthday drink.
