Unless of course you want to buy a packaged gift card worth only a fourth of what you paid for it…

Starbucks has really outdone themselves this time! For the low, low price of 200 BUCKS, you can buy a Limited-Edition Mother’s Day Premium Starbucks Card!!!

Now guess how much the actual gift card is worth…ONLY 50 DOLLARS!! Starbucks says “It’s more than a gift card” For a 400% markup it better be more than just a gift card! “Mom can earn free drinks, food, and more once her Starbucks Card is registered in My Starbucks Rewards™. At participating stores”

We should also touch on the fact that the high price is supposedly coming from the ceramic box even though an actual ceramic tile is only worth $1.28. So in reality, you’re buying a gereric $50 gift card, PLUS 35 frappucinos that you’ll never see. Happy Mother’s Day!!!
