The card can be reloaded with money. The card gives the recipient gold level membership in the Starbucks rewards program. This includes a free birthday drink, and a free drink or food item after the purchase of 12 drinks. Paying with your registered Starbucks Card gets the cardholder brewed and iced coffee and tea refills at no charge during your visit at a participating store. It's not a bad deal for someone who goes there every day.

  All the benefits you listed are available with the gold card which you receive after purchasing (25?) drinks with a normal registered card.

    Which would cost more than the $50 being charged extra for this card.

    Would some people pay $50 more for a hpothetical iPhone with an RFID chip in it over the current iPhone 5, even if they only ever used it at Starbucks? Yep.
