Starbucks Vietnam has just introduced to customers across the market Starbucks cards which are used for its cashless payment system.
The Starbucks card and mobile app are used as a cashless payment system.
The company also announced the expansion of Starbucks Rewards with the launch of the Starbucks mobile app in Vietnam, providing a fast and convenient way for customers to pay at its nation-wide stores.
This mobile payment experience was built on a rapidly-expanding portfolio of digital innovations across China and Asia Pacific region.
To join or transfer to the upgraded Starbucks Rewards program, from November 10, 2018, customers can visit any Starbucks Vietnam store to activate and register the new card to their account.
By using registered Starbucks cards, customers can reload money, pay and earn stars easily. Besides core designs of the card, Starbucks Vietnam will introduce limited designs each season.
Starbucks Vietnam mobile app for iOS and Android enables customers to quickly pay for in-store purchases by scanning the barcode linked to a registered Starbucks card. Customers can register multiple cards onto their account, all of which are seamlessly linked to the Starbucks mobile app.
In addition to the mobile payment, members can easily track their card balance, star balance at their fingertips and find a store with ease.
