Does anybody (probably from the beta period) have any experience on international use of the card wrt to both rebates and free WiFi?

I may be wrong but I would be surprised that all starbucks around the world have ATT wi-fi. I am almost positive that it is another wi-fi company at the Starbucks in France, for example. I wouldn't count on getting it free too much internationally....this is an agreement between Starbucks and ATT...and I am not sure how big a player ATT is worldwide in the wi-fi. I'd be very happy if I were wrong though.
