People Are Freaking Out Over This $450 Starbucks Gold Card
It sold out in “seconds.”
I know, right? Now tell your friends!
People Are Freaking Out Over This $450 Sta...
Hillary Reinsberg
1. Gilt is selling a $450 “Limited Edition Metal Starbucks Card.”
As you can see, it is metal!
2. Apparently, it sold out on Gilt in mere seconds.
The card comes loaded with $400, and has a few perks. They include: a free drink on your birthday, free refills on brewed coffee and tea, and a free drink every 12 purchases. Whether that’s worth the $50 fee is, I guess, dependent on how much of a Starbucks fanatic you are.
4. Turns out there are a lot of fanatics.
I need someone to buy me the new $450 stainless steel Starbucks card. How hard can it be to find an impotent sugar daddy?
“@eshik1: gilt.com/home/sale/star… .... OMG” SOMEONE BUY ME THIS NOW!!
Am positively breathless of the new @Starbucks metal card only available at @Gilt! #OMG #XmasList #DearSanta
WHAT! OMG.. a Limited Edition Metal Starbucks Card? I WANT! SANTA can you hear me???? ow.ly/fSXZb ow.ly/i/1dg5X
“@eshik1: gilt.com/home/sale/star… .... OMG” SOMEONE BUY ME THIS NOW!!

joshuay 5 months agoI fucking hate what society has turned in to. Nothing but a bunch sheeple going crazy over high-priced shitty tasting coffee, all because it’s “limited”. Anyone buying this, please immediately jump in front of the nearest semi so that we can hopefully be rid of this idiocy. Idiocracy here we come.

StacySweaters 5 months agoThis was the only thing I wanted for Christmas. Not so much the card but guaranteed $400 to spend on coffee.

AllThingsJames 5 months agoI have no interest in coffee or the card but lets be honest it doesn’t sound all that bad. The only thing ridiculous is the $50 entry fee to this “limited” club but the perks more than make up for it. For a coffee fanatic the $400 will be gone in a little over a month, then you’ve got a special metal card that’s paid for. I don’t see why this is a fail… In the long run its a win. Just sayin.

childeharold 5 months agoIf the card was colored GOLD then how would anyone be able to tell this special metal card from the other plastic gold cards? Making it silver is the way to go.

I have no idea why, Starbucks tastes disgusting! I like my daily home-made cafetiere with (ideally) Black Union coffee.. easy and good value, more ethically and environmentally sound and much, much tastier. I also like supporting my local coffee shops, and discovering new ones when I travel.
