Starbucks China’s membership FAQ defines 成长值 (Growth Value) as the measure for membership tier. 好礼星星 (Rewards Stars) are redeemable points for specified products, rights or activities. These English labels are explanatory translations of the Chinese terms. They describe different functions, rather than two interchangeable names for one benefit.

The FAQ also distinguishes earning channels. Identified members can earn Growth Value through eligible purchases in participating stores, the app, the Starbucks WeChat mini-program and designated other channels. Rewards Stars have their own eligible-channel scope. Partner-channel purchases may require account binding. The FAQ identifies the app, official website and Starbucks mini-program as the reference displays for the balances; available account functions depend on the channel.
