Well, there’s no deal here exactly. It’s an option to turn those unwanted gift cards sitting in your desk drawer into Starbucks beverages, food and mugs. We all have them somewhere — those gift cards you received from someone who doesn’t know your tastes very well. A gift card destined to go into the abyss, never to be used. (It’s the thought that counts, right?) It’s estimated that billions of dollars worth of gift cards go unused annually.
