I DO NOT RECOMMEND PURCHASING - RECEIVED EMPTY, TWICE
I purchased this pack of 4.  Amazon sent me a message saying there was an issue getting activated so they sent me a replacement.  I received the replacement.  I was too trusting apparently that Amazon would make sure that this set was activated - I did not know I could check the balance on Starbucks' website without "using" the gift card and so I never did.  PSA:  Check these gift cards to make sure the amount on there is correct.<br /><br />I gifted two of these to teachers.  One teacher was kind enough to let me know that it was empty even if she felt badly about the situation and returned it to me.  I checked the three gift cards I still had on the Starbucks' website, and all 3 came back with an error.  When I contacted Amazon I was told they cannot do anything since it was past the 30 day return window.  They suggested that I contact Starbucks to get this fixed, but this is NOT Starbucks' fault or responsibility (they did not sell me the cards).  Amazon sold the gift cards, did not activate them, so it is Amazon's problem to fix.  I did finally get a refund as an "exception".<br /><br />If you read the negative reviews for this product, you will see that I am not the only one that has received gift cards that were empty, after people paid for them.  I am surprised that Amazon continues to knowingly sell these gift cards that are shipped empty/not activated.
