    I think this triggered a fraud alert on my Citi Bank Visa.. anyone else have this issue?

    • Rona

      No problem here.

      • Jordan Osgood

        I used my debit card instead and it worked. I did get a text alert from Citi bank though, had to confirm it was actually me using it!

    • M

      same thing happened to me as well

    If you need someone to send it to, my Twitter is @trippy1979 😉

  3. Ashley

    If you need someone to send it to, I’d love one! @Bryson221 🙂

  4. Sara

    I’m not sure if i’m understanding this correctly. If you send a friend a $5 GC via twitter then you get one for youself for as well. But since you paid the $5 wouldn’t your friend be the lucky one?

    • Rona

      Yes. I just sent one to my daughter since I ALWAYS pay for her anyway lol. We just saved $5.. Its a win win. Pick your hubby, SO or kid. haha

    • Kira

      I sent one to my hubby and then one from him to me. Gave us $20 for $10. I finally had an excuse to get him his own Starbucks account.

  5. axhilli

    Can you send it to yourself and get one for free, so you’d be getting $10 but it will cost you $5?

    • DTS

      try it and let us know 🙂

    • trippy79

      No, you cannot send it to yourself… unless you have 2 separate accounts.

  6. axhilli

    You can’t send it to yourself lol. None of my family is on twitter.

  7. DTS

    I sent it to my wife. I’ll encourage her to send one to me . . . $20 in starbucks coffee for $10 . . . nice!

  8. lovespoundcake

    How do you know if you’re one of the first 100,000 to send? I sent my husband the ecard and he received and added to his Starbucks account, but I haven’t received anything on my end.

    • trippy79

      They (as in those posting on Starbucks fb page) say it can take up to 24 hours before you receive an email confirmation about the free gift card that you’re supposed to get by being one of the first 100k people. It’s been about 3 hours since I tweeted mine and I’m still waiting it.

      • lovespoundcake

        I received mine, a little over three hours after the Tweet!

        • trippy79

          I’m still waiting on mine. =(

    • Mayra

  15. couponsforme2

    @saverang is my Twitter name if anyone needs someone to send one to! I used one above!

  16. DTS

    i received my $5 bonus about 30 minutes after my wife opened her SB account and activated her $5 award . . . so the deal has entirely completed for me.

    By the way, i also got a $10 e-gift card on Raise.com for $8.70 – a 13% savings . . . since this deal required me to get an e-card anyway, I thought I’d add to it and save some more $. The starbucks app is great for saving your e-$$$’s . . just show your phone at the register.

    So, today I got $20 to starbucks, for a total of $13.70.

      the Starbucks phone app is great – you can discounts, free apps and other perks!

  18. sdcalirose

  19. susana

    In need of a twitter to sent to? send it to: rbdsusana1987

  20. Maria

    Did anyone else notice that the terms allow them to post to your twitter as *you* I hate that.

    This application will be able to:

    Read Tweets from your timeline.
    See who you follow, and follow new people.
    Update your profile.
    Post Tweets for you.

  21. Ivana Reichelt

    it keeps saying my husband does not exist even after his name is highlighted 🙁

  22. LisaR.

    This worked for me – I sent one to my sister who LOVES Starbucks- thanks Collin!

  23. Angel

    hi , I just did the promotion , but I don’t get the $5 bonus. Can anyone teach me how to use tweet? Thanks

    • DTS

      Angela, Twitter is like a news feed. You simply choose people or topics to follow. You can follow celebrities, sports teams or players, news channels . . just about anything. It’s a great way to stay informed and in the loop on just about anything. You create a twitter “handle” – like a username – and then you’re off. Begin following people.

      And if you need someone to send this bonus to, you can send it to me!!! my twitter address is @dstott21

      • Angel

        Hi , I sent it to my family, But just don’t know how to get the bonus. I don’t know what step I miss….

  24. Angel

    finally.. got it !

  25. blucoke

    Finally got a chance to get to it, hope it’ll really send me back $5 gift card!
