The rules say 2 times PER DAY! Yay!
Starbucks mentioned two times, but only let one time go through and then the game jammed up my sign in password over ten times until I gave up!
Am I blind? I don’t see ‘need a play?’ after logging in.
After signing in, go to the “how to play” tab at the top right. There it will have a underlined link to “click here” to get your free play.
I won 3 bonus stars but never received a code. Anyone else?
I won a bonus star and had my email within a minute. Check your junk mail.
Strange, but it showed up in my regular email the next day.
Websites down you can’t log in to play
