Starbucks with Airmiles

[dancin Disney style]

Has anyone redeemed AM for a Starbucks e-voucher? Curious about the process on redeeming and then adding it to a current(registered) Starbucks card.

Also, anyone know if there would be a problem then using it in the USA. The AM site says that it's for use in Canada but I've used my Canadian card in the US without any problem.

I haven't used my AM for Starbucks but I have received other evouchers for Starbucks (like from Swagbucks for instance) and it's easy to transfer the balance on their website from that evoucher to your existing card. Also I have used my Starbucks in the USA countless times (as well as in Mexico) and never had an issue.

I used my Canadian Starbuck cards in York, UK never an issue. Free breakfast for 4 days! I'm sure the exchange rate wasn't the greatest but the cards were free ( referal gifts from the eye DR and Dentist), so i'm not going to complain. Also almost every airport I've been in has a starbucks in it.

That's good news. I have just about enough points on my visa card to get a $50 Starbucks card. I might use it on our trip to Cali this summer. Won't go that far with two 14 year olds who love SB, but it's still a bonus to have a treat while on the road.

I use my airmiles for Starbucks e-vouchers all the time!

You redeem it and generally within 30 mins you are emailed a CODE that you punch in online on your starbucks account ... that then gives you a virtual card with a $$ balance of whatever you redeem

From there we just transfer the balance over to our main card that we always use and just remove the other card from the account!

Pretty easy and straight forward!

That's great! How do they calculate the exchange when you use the card in the States??

Honestly I don't know and don't really care. As it's "free" money I don't keep track or worry about it.
