      0% (it ain't a CC). Bit disappointed that you don't get a discount though.

              Hang on, if you don't get a discount then why have the card? You are helping Starbucks by reducing the amount of cash they handle - presumably you can load it up with cash via switch etc. So where is the incentive to prepay a load of full priced drinks?
              Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

              I preferred version 1!

                It's the only plastic he's allowed to have.

                    Exactly, no incentive at all. Actually after reading the fool article there are drawbacks. So why did I keep thinking about wanting one?! Anyhow, over it now & will just use my shiny, £0 balance Starbucks card as a bookmark.
