ETA: If you find yourself in this position, I now know how to do it. I DM'ed the Starbucks Help Twitter rep and she confirmed that this can't be done online, but that she was happy to do it for me. The unexpected good news is that since these were in Canadian funds, after the exchange rate was factor in the cards were worth well more than the American dollar face value.
You do know the Canadian dollar is worth $0.72 per US dollar?? Confused
