The local store is baffled. The online support is worthless (they just blame the store, saying my card is fine). I've called twice and have gotten nowhere. I'm tempted to report the card lost, have them mail me a new one, and use it instead.
Pretty easy to acquire a new card at Starbucks. I had one that didn't work and they handed me a new one. I registered it online and transferred the balance from the non-working card.
