'Coffee Addicts Put $4 Billion on Starbucks Cards in 2013' - I confess.. I am a Starbucks addict:-)

Starbucks Cards
I admit, I need my ‘Grande blonde Veranda” first thing in the morning, it sets my day:-)  I could have been running in the subway the minute I get to Starbucks and get one, it relaxes me:-).  I think what sets Starbucks apart from its competitors is not only the quality of the coffee, but also creating ways to make the process of buying coffee shorter since it takes a little longer to make some of their blends.  

With the creation of the cell phone app & pre paid gift cards its a 1,2,3 process.  I was pretty bombed that I missed the launch of the limited edition gold card during the holidays last year. It was a collaboration with gilt.com  which retailed exclusively on their site for $450, preloaded with $400.  The perks with the card included *My Starbucks Rewards™ Gold-level status (a free birthday treat and 15%off coupon at StarbucksStore.com), *free refills on iced or brewed coffee and tea *special offers and coupons *and a free drink or food item with every 12 stars.  It launched on Dec 6 and was sold out within an hour.
Additionally, the Baristas are very knowledgable even though they never seem to get the names right lol.


As non coffee drinkers say sarcastically, “its flavored water, it must have crack in it) lol. and my answer is Noooooo, its just some kick a** coffee so yeah i confess, i am an addict and i do not need help, ha ha!
