Starbucks gift cards are the perfect way to give your friends, family members or coworkers a treat. If you're a Starbucks lover, you likely have a Starbucks gift card in your wallet. But do you know how to use your Starbucks gift card? Here are easy steps to help you get the most out of your gift card.

2. Ensure You Have the Correct Card

Before you use your Starbucks gift card, ensure it's the right one. You can buy food and drink at any of the chain's stores. To ensure that your gift card is valid, check its expiration date on the back. If your card has expired, you'll need to call customer service and get a new one.
