Starbucks card reload failed

Billing details don't match your bank

Reloads usually fail when the name or address on your Starbucks account is not exactly what your bank has on file, or when the saved card is out of date.

Is Starbucks down right now? Partial outage: 111 problem reports in the last hour. Many people are having trouble, so this problem may come from Starbucks's side: waiting can be enough.
Fix it

How to fix it

  1. Make sure the name and billing address match your bank's records exactly.

  2. Update your billing info if you moved or changed your name.

  3. Check that the card has not expired and that you entered the right security code.

  4. If the reload still fails, contact your bank or card issuer.
