wouldn't this apply to any business that uses the gift card system?

Bonkers? No. Brilliant! Perfectly legal and we think we're getting something for free! We can't even say we're being cheated because they honor the full amount of the gift card. Well played, Starbucks. Well played.

Jokes on them because I load exactly how much I’m gonna use right before I use it and never carry a balance on any of the gift cards in my app 😂

Also, Starbucks points are a form of crypto currency. It's just very limited on what you can spend it on.

You should fact check that they get to keep the unused gift card balance.

@JustMeCarlos: No, that’s not how it works. You’ve loaded the money for future purchases so the money is already theirs. It becomes part of their operational gain and indeed it incurs interest that they keep. It is not a savings account for you to use at Starbucks. It is a credit system that you purchased from Starbucks. So once you’ve paid, you’ve made your purchase.
