Does Starbucks have an API for creating gift cards and transferring balances?
If so, I'd love to hear about it.

It would be a big opportunity for money laundering, so I doubt it.

#14Could we please bring this to a coffee chain that makes good coffee? Peets or Philz?
Yes we can- and we are. We started with Starbucks for a number of reasons, but I can't wait to get Peets in there. Hell, I'd really love to get some good indie shops- but we've gotta start somewhere.
Great to hear. Thank you!
I love how my real question which received and answer from the company was voted down. Sorry but Starbucks is not really good coffee. I am writing this from the Philz in Palo Alto :)

Thanks! Those are both wrong. The barcode expires in 25 minutes, but you can hit "I'm done" for a quick refund. I'll fix that.

Yes! (Both.)
You'll end up spending an amount of BTC that is equivalent to 90% of the cost of your coffee. So, an example: If you choose the $10 option, and $10 is worth 10mBTC (exchange rate made up to simplify the math), then you'd pay 9mBTC and have $10 available to spend at Starbucks. If you then spend $5 of that at Starbucks, you'll end up receiving a refund of 4.5mBTC (the equivalent of the remaining $5).

I'm travelling in Boston right now- it's all these people drink! Definitely on the list :)

Side comment: how's does Peets fare for espresso-based drinks?
