Starbucks App Love
If you know anything about me, it's my dependency on coffee. That little addiction is why I'm the barista in my own house - yes, I've got the keurig with my coffee carousel beside it loaded with at least a dozen flavors at a time. I've got flavored syrups, assorted creamers and your choice of milk or half-n-half at all times.
But does that stop me from visiting my local Starbucks whenever I can? Um...No. ![]()
The starbucks gift card is a no-brainer gift for me, just in case anyone is looking to get me somethin' special.
The only problem with the gift cards is that I have so many other cards in my bag (I have a separate case to carrry all those store cards, gift cards, etc.) sometimes it takes me a while to find it - cause we all know how organized I am ![]()
And I have been known to lose that little bag from time to time too.
So what does Starbucks in all their awesomeness do? They've got an app for that! An app that I can load my registered starbucks gift cards into. The app keeps track of your card balance and at participating stores, you can pay with your iTouch (or iPhone!) It loads a barcode for the barista to scan..presto, I'm good to go.

I'm in app love!
Since I always have my iTouch with me (almost an extension of my body at this point!) I can always take advantage of my gift cards and won't be leaving home without this one anytime soon.
Go check it out!
