\"\"<\/p>\n

Back in September of last year, Starbucks made it possible to pay for your daily caffeine hit with their Starbucks Card Mobile<\/a> iPhone app. The entire concept is pretty simple: punch in your Starbucks Card info, verify some details, and BAM! The iPhone app becomes<\/em> the gift card, presenting a secure QR code for the Barista to scan when it comes time to pay up.<\/p>\n

Here’s the catch: out of Starbucks’ roughly 74 billion locations, only a few have started accepting the mobile payment system. As in very few. As in sixteen. Until today!<\/p>\n

Starbucks has just announced that they’re now taking iPhone app payments in over 1,000 Target stores nationwide, increasing the number of test locations by well over 6,000% overnight. Now go, go and pay for your fix of the ol’ brown drank without ever worrying about silly nonsense like wallets<\/em> and cash<\/em> ever again. (Be sure to check the store locator<\/a> first to make sure your local Target spot is participating in the roll-out.)<\/p>\n
