You can buy giftcards at an 11% discount (+ whatever your credit card gives you for the purchase).  You can then load to your starbucks card (I assume you have one!) getting a 12%+ discount, plus the free drink bonuses from the starbucks card etc.

All without an inq.

got to read these terms however i guess i could load it at starbucks and still get 5% back from cash+ PLUS 11% from giftcard or do i have to load it on the website ? that  does not always count. reading the terms & conditons.

No, when you buy the card it is from a merchant that doesn't fall into bonus categories (except maybe Discover 4Q), so you would get 1% with Cash Plus.   So I use 2% cards to maximize the benefit, but that is a small part  of the total benefit.

2% as in Citi Double Cash and you buy these online and have it ship to your home accordinly ? starbucks gold is that their starbucks credit card  ? i forgot all about that i saw this before. I wish they had one like this for BP gas. I only saw Chase BP gas credit card which sucks. There's many giftcards you can buy on eBay. A lot people load it and try sell it for more or less. I don't know about this but i'll look into this. thanks

i usually use Bank America to buy starbucks because under their BankAmeriDeals using your debit or credit cards you get 10% off starbucks. But its not all year round and only good in store. you got read those tems and conditions !!   unlike discover  i think under their online portal you can using starbucks.com to buy their giftcards. But for granny you'll just get that discount. But i see what you're saying. 5% there. 10% there if not 2% or 1% in addiiton to the 11% granny offers. 

can't you just wait until birthday and use this to buy annual gift cards ? 

• Birthday coupon for 15% off a purchase at StarbucksStore.com

Double Cash or Fidelity Amex or NASA etc.   Many are via email, so you get it straight away and can go onto the Starbucks website to reload your card.

The Starbucks gold isn't a credit card, just a reloadble card, that you load with credit, debit, cash or other gift cards (Don't use cash!)   You get some discounts and earn stars for each purchase.  Every 12 (I think) stars you get your choice of a free drink.

I am frequently surprised by people who obviously are very familiar with Starbucks (as in they come in and confidently order customized complex drinks) and then pay with a credit card. as you can use the credit card to load the  gold card, and get all the benefits + the free drinks

I guess you didn't look at the URL.   Giftcardgranny is a search engine, that shows all of those sites and more.

i never got the gold starbucks card because $150 for 30 drinks i+ 2 free drinks  only 5 - 7 %  but i guess i see the hassel using 2 - 3 cards to expand the discounts. Like if i used a reward credit card (2%)  to purchase discounted gift cards (granny) 11%  and load it on the discounted starbucks card (starbucks gold card) up to 7% that would be a total of 18% - 20% overall discount drinking starbucks each time.  or just wait and use 15% birthday (starbucks rewards) and use 10% BankAmeriDeal card and get 30% - 32% overall discount drinking starbucks each time. or 15% birtdhay (starbucks rewards) + 5% cash+ or 5% Discover and get toal 25% - 27% % off discount drinking starbucks each time you drink starbucks.  that's using 3 sources just to expland your savings. I wish they would just make one cards for everything so i wont have to have so many cards!!
