Sounds like someone was transferring a balance on a gift card to their regular Starbucks card on their app. At least that's the email I get when someone gifts me a Starbucks gift card and I transfer the funds to the main card I use on my app.

I don't think it's a scam. Just sounds like someone put the wrong email/typo when they registered their account.

@Bao: it just sounds like someone is transferring balances on the app? I received quite a few giftcards for the holidays and I transferred them all to my regular card so that I didn't have multiple cards on the app I use daily.
Starbucks doesn't have a credit card and they are linked securely, so I don't think you have to worry about bank accounts or credit. To me it just sounds like someone used your husbands email to register either by a typo or some sort of mistake?

I have a really simple Gmail account and I get all sorts of crazy emails about accounts I don't have. I started getting one about a kid not being in school every other week, so I called the school (in Maryland) to tell them it was the wrong email address, lol

@Bao: I don't think it's a scam unless the emails are asking you to log in - especially since you said you don't have a Starbucks card to begin with. I agree with PP that someone may have used your email accidentally.

I would email Starbucks and let them know. They'd be able to verify if the emails are a scam or not too. I find that Starbucks customer service is really good. I would give that a shot.

@Bao: Well, starbucks cards are just gift cards that you can reload so I wouldn't worry too much about it. If you don't have an account, then there shouldn't be anything in their system linking your credit card or paypal to an account.
