The Starbucks Card

Can I say I just love this little thing? My hairdresser gave me one for Christmas (loaded with $15). I leave it in one of the hidden compartments in my car, so it's handy when I go through the drive-thru. I never have to dig for my wallet or wonder if I have enough cash. And when the card gets low, I can just re-load it online.

That is some smart thinkin' right there. cool
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Or even if you don't. I go to Starbucks maybe once or twice a week. I don't think that qualifies as "loads of coffee." lol

That's why I leave it in the car...and I don't put to much on it (only $20 at a time).

I figure, if someone steals my car, I got bigger things to worry about than how much I lost on my Starbucks card. Plus, I'm pretty sure they cover you if your card is stolen and you report it. cool

that's just cruel that they do not have the drive-thru's here. Most of ours are in mall's or on the really busy main street downtown, so it is impossible to park...so, you really have to plan or really want one to get one. I always plan ahead..gotta have my iced coffee!!

I had one with $25 on it for so long, I forgot who gave it to me.
I only been to starbucks twice in my life so I never used the card. I ended up giving it to my brother. He came home with a shitload of cookies. I forgot they had cookies mad

I won a $25 Starbucks card during a team building exercise but I ended up giving it away when I couldn't use it at the Starbucks kiosk in my office building. Apparently, you can only redeem them at a Starbucks store/coffee house.
