You should see how excited😎 I was to learn that I could use my Starbucks e-gift card without necessarily using it on the Starbucks app. I received my first Starbucks e-gift card many years ago. I was unaware that Starbucks had introduced its mobile application at the time, so I didn’t have one on my device. I was disappointed for a while as I thought my $200 e-gift card would never be used. Luckily, my friend, who was a Starbucks barista at the time, informed me that I could redeem my e-gift card at a physical shop (I literally ran 🏃‍♂️to the store and redeemed every dollar that was on it). Since then, I do not have to worry if I have my app or not to use any Starbucks e-gift card I receive.
