Starbucks Customer Insights

1. It means I'll encourage people to buy a physical gift card vs digital which will save me money long term.Downloaded the app to sign up for the rewards program and add a few my purchases from that week, I kept getting "sorry we're experiencing a system error try again later" a few times, so I went to the desktop site and joined.

2. This doesn't matter outside of the US, but generally tipping makes up a good portion of service worker wages in the US, so it needs to be more obvious when checking out! I've placed orders more than once that had no tip because I hadn't even noticed it was an option.Only reason it's not a 5-star review is because you can't apply more than one 'stars' free item at a time when you pre-order.

3. I recently added $20 to my card and I got charged twice ($40) but the amount on my card still only showed $20 added.The app is actually pretty solid, and it's nice to be able to get rewards from using it.

4. Thinking that resolved the issue or I'd at least be able to log in, NOPE! So since zero stars isn't an option, here's the 1, I guess for the app at least being download-able! Go figure.Easy to Use.

5. I hope they work out whatever bugs make it difficult to even see anything on the app at times, but of they do it will be a beautiful app.Have been having issues when I reload or add money to my card on my app.

6. All fields completed correctly but when I hit "Submit", it says "An error has occurred, please try again later." I have tried to join at several different physical locations but get the same error message every time.

7. I check my bank account after and I get charged twice! I can't find any customer support number, it's the only issue I've had with the app and it's a pretty big issue that I would like to be fixed.

8. And thanks for adding a tip to your server option! One thing that's critically missing is gift cards - I have to reload them.

9. Please allow at least one of these, otherwise it's not worth the trouble to reload my card.

10. It is very awkward going into a PACKED store and trying to get the attention of the store staff or get close to the app order area.

11. Otherwise, super convenient and shows what items are available at the store of choice.Solid app.
