the default setting on the starbucks app on my phone is to automatically top up every time the balance drops below $10. So starbucks basically has a permanent $10 loan from me. I'm sure i'm not the only one.
actual gift cards given as gifts though are probably more likely to be used up and discarded, instead of being set to auto-reload and carry a balance.
- lotsofpulp 7y agoThat made me delete the app and avoid Starbucks. I was more than willing to pay with a cc, but they wanted me to give them an interest free loan?
- chrisseaton 7y agoDid you realise it was optional?
- lotsofpulp 7y agoWhen I used the app a couple years ago, it was to skip the in store line and it was forcing me to pay a minimum $5 or $10 for Starbucks credit, and then use that to pay for the $3 item I was planning on buying. Basically, asking me to pay $5 for $3 item since I go to Starbucks once every few years. I don’t know if it has changed.
