It’s almost time for 2013 to start, and in order to keep up with all of my New Year’s resolutions, I will need LOTS and LOTS of caffeine, so the free Starbucks app is now a necessity on my iPhone!
Although I have been a Starbucks addict for a few years, I recently learned about the app when I was waiting in line for my coffee and saw the person in front of me use their phone to pay instead of money!? I obviously had to do my research and sure enough, the Starbucks app allows you to load gift cards and pay with a simple scan. I instantly downloaded the app and what do you know – I received a gift card for Christmas! The very next day I had my app fully loaded and walked into a local shop with a big grin! When the barista told me my total, I took out my phone and said, “I will be paying with this today!” The app displayed a barcode and with one single scan, my coffee was paid for and I received a little gold star in my rewards tab.
With all of the great events that happened in the time that it took to get my cup of coffee, I realized I would be hooked on this app forever. Overall, I believe the Starbucks app was definitely created with the consumer’s best interest in mind and it will always keep me wanting to buy more coffee!
If you enjoy this app as much as I do, please share your stories and let me know if you are addicted to any other apps!
