Credit Card and Gift Cards Merge

[jeffrey]

Telling the difference between a credit card and a rechargeable gift card is getting a whole lot more difficult. Starbucks Coffee and Visa have teamed up and introduced the Starbucks Card Duetto Visa which is both a credit card and a reloadable Starbucks coffee shop card.

In addition, the 1% points your earn with each Visa purchase go directly to your Starbucks Duetto Dollars for extra purchases at Starbucks. The card also offers a $10 Starbucks Duetto Dollars bonus after you use the card for the first time and a $5 donation to the Starbucks Foundation to support literacy, diversity and environmental initiatives.
