The Starbucks Gift Card (or “eGift”) service allows customers to purchase and gift virtual Starbucks gift cards through email, social media, and other messaging platforms. On the website, customers can choose a gift card and pay by credit card, debit card or other designated electronic methods. When payment is approved, they can choose when they want the eGift to be delivered. This means that the customer authorises and allows Starbucks to charge the credit card, debit card or other electronic payment methods they are using at the time of buying, no matter when they want their eGift sent. Lets know more about Starbucks Gift Cards.
On the scheduled delivery date, Starbucks will send an email to the recipient of the gift card telling the customer that it has been delivered. Customers will receive the message when they have selected and paid for the gift card. An eGift can be added to the recipient’s Starbucks account, sent to a Starbucks Gift Card, or printed out to use at a Starbucks store. The Starbucks mobile app is also available if you want to register the eGift. A confirmation email will be sent to the recipient when they open the gift card email from Starbucks.
How to Use Starbucks Gift Card
The recipient should handle an eGift Starbucks Card like regular currency. To load and pay for products with your mobile device, download the Starbucks app for iPhone or Android (2.2 or higher). With the My Starbucks Rewards smartphone app, customers can reload their cards, check their balance, and earn free drinks and snacks. The gift cards will not be able to be refunded if they are used already and the original receipt is not available. It does not matter how many times a gift card receipt is printed each eGift has a unique code and each time it is used, the credit will come off. The only time an eGift will be refunded is if the customer has the original receipt and the gift card is unused.
