Starbucks announces the launch of The Starbucks Card

New card offeres customer convenience and free Wi-Fi access in store

KUWAIT-FEB 21 2012: Starbucks stores in Kuwait today celebrated the launch of “The Starbucks Card,” a more convenient way for customers to enjoy the various aromas of coffee, light snacks, and other favorite treats that can be found at Starbucks stores throughout the country.

Available for the first time in Kuwait, “The Starbucks Card,” is the ideal way to make purchases in store.  You can simply top up a card to the value of your choice, and then use it to make any purchases at your convenience without the hassle of carrying change in your pockets.  ”The Starbucks Card” is also the perfect gift for treating your friends and loved ones.

As an additional benefit, anyone using “The Starbucks Card” at stores displaying the Wi-Fi sign can enjoy free Wi-Fi for one hour.  To benefit from this great added value, coffee lovers simply have to make a purchase with “The Starbucks Card” and the barista will give them a voucher valid for one hour of free Wi-Fi.

“The Starbucks Card” is valid for 12 months, and it can be topped up as many times as the card holder wishes.  You can spend as little or as much of the value as you wish at any time and can check the card balance and validity in store, or by calling the Customer Care Hotline at 1821212.

Thanks to Rawan for the invitation more on the event in the upcoming posts.
