An Android version of its Starbucks Reward Card app
is finally available in the Android Market. Android users have been
thirsting for the app for quite some time; in January, Starbucks went
national with its mobile payment service, but only iOS and BlackBerry users could taste the flavor of "cardless Card payment."
For those who aren't familiar with Starbucks Reward Cards, they can be loaded via your credit card and used to pay at Starbucks outlets. They can be set to auto-reload, and users will get an email when a reload occurs. With the mobile version, there's one less thing to carry.
To use, install the app, and log in with your existing Starbucks account (you do have one, don't you?). Then, you'll be asked to enter your card information. When you want to pay, you simply have the app display your card's barcode.
