have a self-service method to check to see if you have any Reward Beans or work
points. We can check for you within 48 hours if you do the following:
Send an email to the recognition team at recognit@Starbucks.com
In the email include the following info:
Full name as it appears on your driver’s license – no
nicknames or shortened names, if your name is Elizabeth don’t use Liz or Beth!

zeros.
