About Your Account; Starbucks Purchases Only.
The Starbucks Card is issued to you by Starbucks. It allows you to load a dollar value on to your Starbucks Card for future purchases at participating Starbucks stores. The dollar value that you load onto your Starbucks Card is a pre-payment only for the goods and services of participating Starbucks stores. No credit card, credit line, overdraft protection, or deposit account is associated with a Starbucks Card. Unless otherwise required by law or permitted by this agreement, any amount on your Starbucks Card is non-refundable and may not be redeemed for cash. No interest, dividends, or any other earnings on funds deposited to a Starbucks Card will accrue or be paid or credited to you by Starbucks.
Most Starbucks locations in Hong Kong, North America, the U.K. and Australia accept your Starbucks Card. Certain Starbucks-branded locations may not permit you to use the Starbucks Card for payment, including some airport and bookstore locations, or in stores in Puerto Rico, Guam and outside continental North America. For an up-to-date list of stores that accept the Starbucks Card, call 852-21011399. Starbucks reserve the right not to accept any Starbucks Card or otherwise limit use of a Starbucks Card if we reasonably believe that the use is unauthorized, fraudulent or otherwise unlawful.
Loading Value on Your Card.
You can load a dollar value on the Starbucks Card by using a credit card, debit card or cash by visiting any participating Starbucks store or by calling 852-21011399. You may not load more than HK$4,000.00 worth of value to your Starbucks Card. The minimum amount that must be loaded onto your Starbucks Card is HK$100.00. Starbucks may change the maximum and minimum amounts at any time by notifying you at the point of sale, by phone when you call, or on the Starbucks web site, and such change shall not constitute an amendment to this agreement.
All amounts loaded onto your Starbucks Card are held and denominated in the currency of the country in which the card was sold (the base currency). When you make a purchase in a different country, the transaction total is converted from the currency of that country (the local currency) to the base currency and deducted from the account. No fees or other charges are made to your Starbucks Card for the conversion. Although the actual balance of your Starbucks Card is held in the base currency, the balance shown on your receipt will be in the local currency of the store location. Transactions that occur on our web site are denominated in U.S. dollars. Currency conversions are based on currency exchange rates applicable on the date of the transaction.
