  • Can these ecards be stuck to a piece of card & laminated?
  • I have managed to put the card on the Starbucks app using add card. How do I use it in the shop,do I just show them that I have added the card? Thanks for any help :)

    I've never understood how this country has embraced coffee shops who charge £3 odd for something costing pennies that you can make yourself!

    Is it the faux kudos of walking round with a branded cup with a bit of cardboard round it?

    for me, Starbucks is spending good time with my fellows. Actally, it doesnt matter which place we go to- but if i have some money off coupon, why not go there, especially, if the price of my latte will be the same as Mcdonalds (if we dont think of getting better value of coffee...).
    If you think its not worth buying coffee from cafe, why do people buy ready made sandwiches, ready meals, or peeled, packed fruits and vegetables?... :cool::cool:

    Can't see why not. All you are doing is scanning the barcode. If it works on a phone it'll scan ok on a laminated card buddy

    Just open your app when instore and when you come pay, they will just scan the barcode thingy on your phone -simple
  • Thanks for the help. Seems simple enough lol Cannot wait to try it out Monday on a new festive drink before work :)

    Hiya I just got it to work.... I unregistered the ecard from living social, then signed out and used the transfer link to add it to the starbucks card I already have :) Wouldn't let me transfer it while it was still registered to me though

    My DD has asked for a starbucks giftcard so this has come in very handy. If 3 or 4 members of the family buy 1 can they then be transfered onto 1 card so she has 1 card worth £30 or £40?

    Thanks

    I've merged two of the cards (one bought by me, one bought by a friend on my behalf) into my regular starbucks card using the iPhone app.

    But if you pay £5 for a £10 ecard and then get 3 referrals to then have the £5 refunded, that makes the £10 ecard FREE!
    What's not :money: about that?

    P.S. If you are going over to the referrals board, please look higher up the list for someone who maybe posted 2 days ago but still needs one more click as we are are not allowed to re-post our links and so are finding it difficult as the list gets longer with new people. Thanks!
