New Starbucks Mobile App lets you pay with iPhone, BlackBerry

By Doreen Christensen January 19, 2011 03:39 PM

I just read on the Starbucks website that you can now pay for coffee using your mobile device with the free Starbucks Card Mobile App for iPhone, IPod Touch and Blackberry devices.

Pay for your drink or other purchases using the app by entering your Starbucks card number and your phone will then display a barcode you can use in place of your Starbucks card at more than 7,500 stores, including Target.

You also can check your balance, see tranactions, reload via your credit card and track your rewards. Flash your phone and get free coffee and tea refills, too, just like with your Starbucks Reward card.

I always grab my phone before my daily visit to the coffee house so now I won't even need money or a credit card! I just entered my Starbucks card number in two seconds and the balance magically displayed on my iPhone. Magic!

Great! Now where can I download that Macy's App?
