TL;DR: Spend $13 and get $32 worth of stars by following the strategy below.
For those who don't know me, I have a bit of a caffeine addiction. I rarely go a day without a cup of Joe, and sometimes I give into the convenience that Starbucks offers. Generally, however, I loathe the thought of dropping $5 for a cup of coffee. That is, until Starbucks does its promotions to "gamify" my coffee addiction and provide relatively generous awards.

Starbucks Bonus Star Bingo went live on March 7th and will be running until April 2nd. The game consists of nine challenges that are listed below:
Sip & Savor: Make a purchase of $6 or more in a single order between 11am and 2pm
Jump the Line: Make 3 separate purchases by ordering ahead through the Starbucks app
Mid-Week Ender: Make one purchase during the week, and another on the weekend
Week-ender: Make 3 separate purchases on a Saturday or Sunday
All Day: Make a purchase before 12pm and after 12pm in a single day
Coffee with Friends: Make a purchase of $12 or more in a single order
Monday Funday: Make a purchase after 2pm on a Monday
Coffee Ranger: Make a purchase at 4 different participating Starbucks stores
Fri-Yay: Make a purchase after 12pm on a Friday
For each challenge completed, you receive 10 stars. Extra stars are awarded for each row or column completed, and 300 stars for completing the board. For those who are curious, you can see the board here.
Strategy:
Now onto how one can maximize the stars awarded for the minimum number of purchases and dollars spent:
1 - $12 Purchase between 11am and Noon from your phone (on either the Friday or Monday) from a different store*
1 - Purchase on Friday after Noon from your phone
1 - Weekend purchase from a different store
1 - Purchase on Monday after 2pm from your phone (from a different store near work)
2 - Weekend purchases from one store near home
*The $12 purchase (which also counts for the $6 purchase) which can be a mug or a bag of coffee. You can also use a code: KEEPBINGOING which can be applied to any of the challenges.
Making the deal even sweeter, Starbucks is offering a promotion between March 14th and March 20th, where you can get an additional 200 stars for visiting 8 times. Stacking these deals together, you can yield over 500 stars, redeemable for at least 4 rewards. The smallest purchase available is a cheese stick or banana which cost $1 each. Assuming you use the code for the $12 purchase, you can spend a total of $13 and receive enough stars to purchase of 4 Power Lunches that are valued at $8 each. That's a net gain $19 at retail prices!
