Limited edition Starbucks steel gift card

can you use any coupon code for this thing? I see they have a 20% off any order.. now that would start to get slick there

I guess most of people don't even carry a Starbucks card anymore since you can pay with your smartphone now.

Oh god...

lmaoooooooooooooooo

Quote from Renard : Neat idea, bad price. I'd consider it if it weren't $50 EXTRA. When I first read it I thought it was a $450 gift card for $400. That would be pretty slick for those that frequent Starbucks.

That's what I thought, too.

Apparently people are stupid, though, and will buy this. "Some limited-edition Starbucks cards have sold on eBay for thousands of dollars, says Ryan Records, vice president of card and payments at Starbucks."

what!?! who is stupid?

I am hoping the OP made a typo and the price is $400 and the GC value is $450. Then we might be on to something.

$50 for a Steel Card that only 5000 of the card will be available for purchase.

What don't people get? It's not for your average everyday people. It's for the collectors. Why do people throw money to collect anything?

Look at Skylanders... why people pay extra over the retail price to get some of the limited figures? I don't know why the hate on it, I get it, it's just not for me. I don't hate it either.

If it's $400 for $400, then it loses the value of what they're trying to do... to make it exclusive/limited.

Does anyone have a link to it? Apparently gold members can buy Thursday while everyone else on Friday.

Gilt is giving out 30% off coupons randomly (they are tied to your login so can't be transferred)- but even using that on this doesn't pay off because it is capped at $75 discount which brings this card down to $375- only $25 discount off the face value of the card.

I'm sure this deal will "sell out fast" har har har- about as fast as that $30 tumbler they had 2 days ago that they are still trying to move.

And no, the OP didn't list this as a typo- Starbucks is in the news about this, it really is $450 for a $400 card.

This is a pretty good day at SD. First the SLS AMG w/free Smart and now this.

Thanks for the laughs, guys!

What's the code? I can't get 20OFF to work.

Shoot I looked and have one but the validity is only 24 hours and ends today. What kind of coupon is that?
