> Quick view: The August MeriahNya Merdeka deal ended on 26 August 2026, but its RM9.90 price came back in September. Starbucks Malaysia has Asian Dolce Latte, Kopi Kaw Latte and Ais Kepal Frappuccino at RM9.90 every Wednesday in September 2026. Malaysia Day, 16 September, is a Wednesday, so the local-flavour drinks are RM9.90 on the holiday itself. After that, only 23 and 30 September are left.

The RM9.90 Wednesday is back

The August campaign, MeriahNya Merdeka, ran on four Wednesdays: 5, 12, 19 and 26 August 2026. It ended on schedule. An earlier version of this article called the price gone for good, and that turned out to be wrong. The same three drinks at the same price came back for September.

Two official sources confirm it:

  • Starbucks Malaysia's own September poster, part of an eight-poster carousel it posted on 2 September 2026, lists the three drinks at RM9.90 every Wednesday in September.
  • B Infinite, the loyalty programme of the Berjaya group, which operates Starbucks in Malaysia, posted the same offer on its Facebook page: "Every Wednesday in September", T&Cs apply. The artwork runs its "Celebrate Malaysia" banner from 1 August to 30 September 2026. B Infinite's wording is "scan your BInfinite App or Card with your purchase to earn BPoints". The scan earns points. Nothing in the post makes B Infinite membership a condition for the price.

Wednesdays left

  • Wednesday 16 September 2026: Malaysia Day, a public holiday, so expect holiday crowds
  • Wednesday 23 September 2026: an ordinary working day
  • Wednesday 30 September 2026: the last date, and the B Infinite banner ends the same day

Neither poster excludes public holidays. Neither mentions one either. Because 16 September is a national holiday, ask at the counter before you queue. A promotion that is silent on public holidays is not the same as one that promises to run on them.

What RM9.90 gets you

  • Asian Dolce Latte
  • Kopi Kaw Latte
  • Ais Kepal Frappuccino

Kopi Kaw Latte and Ais Kepal Frappuccino belong to the homegrown line-up Starbucks Malaysia launched for Visit Malaysia 2026. The deal covers only these three drinks. Order anything else on a Wednesday and you pay menu price.

In August, the campaign artwork printed RM9.90 as nett, inclusive of 6% service tax. The September posters carry only "T&Cs apply" and repeat none of the August terms. We have not copied August's exclusions or tax wording onto September. If the till charges something other than RM9.90, the September terms decide, and Starbucks hasn't published them anywhere we could read.

Worked example: is Wednesday the cheapest day?

Starbucks does not publish a Malaysian menu price list that we can read. The site sits behind a bot-verification gate. So the only other ringgit figure Starbucks itself printed this month is the RM80 Starbucks Card reload offer. Reload RM80 and you get a free Grande handcrafted beverage, plus a next-purchase reward of 2 Grande beverages for RM16.90, until 30 September 2026. That works out to about RM8.45 per Grande.

  • One drink, solo: Wednesday's RM9.90 needs no reload, no second person and no tumbler. For one of the three local drinks, it's the simplest price in the calendar.
  • Two drinks, two people: the RM16.90 reload reward is RM2.90 cheaper than two Wednesday drinks at RM19.80. It does lock RM80 into a Starbucks Card first, and you get it only once.
  • All three remaining Wednesdays, one cup each: 3 x RM9.90 = RM29.70.

If you drink something else, Wednesday doesn't help. The rest of September's weekday offers (Buy 1 Free 1 Mondays 12pm-5pm, RM5 off with a Starbucks tumbler on Tuesdays, RM10 coffee on Thursdays if you bring something green) are in our Starbucks Malaysia September 2026 guide.

Also new at Starbucks Malaysia this week

  • Peanuts x Starbucks "Great Pumpkin" merchandise. Starbucks Malaysia's Facebook page is teasing "The Great Pumpkin is coming!". The Asia-Pacific launch, announced on 4 September 2026, starts rolling out from 15 September and names Malaysia among the markets. The 10-piece range includes cold cups, tumblers, a ceramic mug, a bag charm, a mini tote, an enamel pin set and a Snoopy plush. It is limited edition and sold while supplies last. No Malaysian prices had been published when we checked.
  • Batik Bearista. A new poster, "Selalu lagi hensem dengan batik", shows Bearista bears in batik shirts. The artwork prints no price and no launch date, so ask in store.
  • Back To Dulu-Dulu. From 9 to 30 September 2026, traditional games (congkak, batu seremban, ceper, ting ting and dam) are set up at nine selected stores. They are Starbucks Reserve Mid Valley Megamall, Starbucks Reserve Shoppes at Four Seasons Place, Starbucks Reserve TRX Exchange, KLIA 1 Contact Pier, Sri Pinang in Penang, Reserve Bandar Utama, Eco Boulevard in Johor, Lintas DT in Sabah and Marina Park City DT in Sarawak.
  • Autumn drinks. EverydayOnSales reports Starbucks Rewards early access from 6 September 2026 to Hot Pumpkin Spice Latte, Roasted Macadamia Frappuccino and Salted Caramel Oatmilk Iced Shaken Espresso. Starbucks' own autumn poster had already rotated off its Facebook photo grid when we checked, so confirm in the app.

What has already ended

  • MeriahNya Merdeka, the August RM9.90 Wednesdays, ended 26 August 2026.
  • The August Monday Buy 1 Free 1 and Tumbler Tuesday windows ended 31 August 2026. Both mechanics continue in September under new poster names.
  • Starbucks Rewards Members Day (Buy 1 Free 1 on Grande handcrafted beverages paid through the app or a registered card) was a single day, Thursday 11 September 2026.
  • The Mr. Men Little Miss lanyard, free with a RM200 Starbucks Card reload, was a while-stocks-last gift announced on 26 August. It no longer appears among the brand's recent posts, so call the outlet before you reload for it.

Who this suits, who should skip

  • Go: anyone who already drinks a Kopi Kaw Latte or an Ais Kepal Frappuccino, and anyone going solo midweek who wants one fixed, cheap cup.
  • Plan around it: a Malaysia Day outing on 16 September. It's the best-timed Wednesday of the three, and also the most crowded.
  • Skip: if your order is a different drink. A Monday Buy 1 Free 1 with a friend, or the RM80 reload reward, beats a price that doesn't apply to you.

Verification

Checked on 14 September 2026. The September RM9.90 Wednesday offer was read on Starbucks Malaysia's own September poster set (posted 2 September 2026) and on B Infinite's own Facebook post, whose artwork runs 1 August to 30 September 2026. The batik Bearista and Great Pumpkin teasers were read on Starbucks Malaysia's Facebook photo grid on 14 September. The Peanuts launch date and markets come from Starbucks' Asia-Pacific announcement as reported by Marketing-Interactive (4 September 2026). The Back To Dulu-Dulu store list comes from SAYS (9 September 2026). The autumn early-access drinks and the RM80 reload terms come from EverydayOnSales. starbucks.com.my remains behind a bot-verification gate, so the brand's own terms page could not be read.
