Starbucks app on Apple Watch (Series 8) not displaying current balance

Recently my Apple Watch stopped displaying my current Starbucks balance. I have tried everything I can find on the internet that's remotely like this problem, delete app, reload app, reconnected app to phone, reconnect app to watch. Yet, no matter what I do the current balance ($ amount and Stars) will not display. I can use the app on my watch when I press the "PAY" button the barcode will display with my current balance so it's not like I can't use the app. It's just annoying that in the past at the bottom of the Watch face the current balance of $ and Stars would always display and now it just states "Starbucks"

Does anyone have an idea of how to correct this problem?

The 6.61 release contains the fix to address this issue, and has now been available for all users for a couple of days. If you haven't updated already, please do so and you should see the watch app function as expected.

I’m having the exact same problem on my Apple Watch (series 8). It just happened right after the last update 2 days ago. I have also tried everything the internet says to do but nothing works. I have noticed that when u swipe up on the watch and u touch the icon that takes u to your cellular, cellular data etc. and scroll down to all your apps. I noticed every one shows the symbol in color and shows it on except the Starbucks. It shows the symbol in black and off but I turned it on and the symbol is still dark. I’m sure I didn’t explain this very well but it’s the best I can do.

I have been having this exact issue. I recently purchased an Apple Watch SE and thought my Starbucks app was not syncing to the watch. After contacting many Starbucks and Apple reps, I discovered that I needed to choose a default card to be able to see my balance when I go to pay. The Apple senior advisor I spoke with was very kind and helpful. She was also stumped about why you cannot see your stars or balance because that should be common sense… she said she would make notes on my case and see about troubleshooting.


I also put in a ticket with Starbucks tech. I could not determine if this was an Apple issue or Starbucks issue. Also everyone I talked to kept telling me this was not a feature I’m able to do on the watch which is obviously not true… very frustrating. Let me know if you find answers or if this is just a current bug!
