You can now pay for your 31oz Starbucks straight from your BlackBerry, iPhone or iPod touch. Unlike Starbucks coffee, the Starbucks Card Mobile App will be free!
The national program includes 6,800 company-operated stores and over 1,000 targeted U.S. Starbucks locations:
In addition to engaging a loyal base of several million cardholders with the offering, Starbucks anticipates mobile payment will be a draw for customers looking to experience the speed, ease and convenience of paying with their mobile phone.
“Today, one in five Starbucks transactions is made using a Starbucks Card and mobile payment will extend the way our customers experience and use their Starbucks Card,” said Brady Brewer, vice president Starbucks Card and Brand Loyalty.
“With mobile payment, the Starbucks Card platform further elevates the customer experience by delivering convenience, rewarding loyalty and continuing to build an emotional connection with our customers.”
Starbucks claim this will be the “fastest way to pay.” Personally, I’ve always thought Starbucks was worth the wait 🙂

Don’t forget that if you register the card on Starbucks.com you get free refills as well as free options like Hazelnut flavoring and soy milk!
