Correct me if I'm wrong, but this isn't a credit card number it's asking for but a gift card number.
Should it still be secure? Sure, why not.
Would somebody go through the effort to hack Starbucks to get gift card numbers? I don't think you can even use just the numbers, you have to have the physical card and if you lose it you lose what was on it ("Treat this card like cash")
- ChadMoran 12y agoYou can transfer the balance to your own card using the information stated, I believe.
- bluedino 12y agoYou would also need the security code on the physical card to transfer the balance online.
- untilHellbanned 12y agoIf its not a credit card that should be made more clear. I thought I should submit my credit card before posting this on HN to see if I was being delusional. 1. The language just says "Card number" and that they ask for security code I would think most people would assume means credit card number as one wouldn't think a Starbucks code would have a security code. 2. Many people only use the Starbucks app so most of their interaction with a Starbuck's "card" is using their credit card which they use to refuel the app. Having many people mistakenly enter their credit card into this form is very, very bad and can be easily avoided by adding one word to the page: "Starbucks" vs "Credit" card. In general, a pretty terrible oversight.
