The following is an excerpt for an e-mail that I received today from Right Way to Travel. I have not tried it but plan on doing so very soon.
If you have an iPhone, you already get free WiFi at participating
Starbucks.
If you don’t, here’s another way you can get free internet…
Anyone that registers a Starbucks gift card online can use that gift
card to get two free hours of internet access per day at any Starbucks
location with WiFi service. That means, in addition to buying gift
cards for friends and family members this holiday season, you should
buy one for yourself and then go online to register it.
Registering your card is easy (and free). Just go to Starbucks.com and
click on “Starbucks Card Rewards” in the “Quick Links” list on the
left. Then click “Join Rewards Today.” The next screen will ask you
if you want free WiFi or if you don’t. You, obviously, want the
membership rewards program that includes WiFi. So select that. Then
sign up.
You’ll be asked for details about your card, including the number on
the back and the pin which usually has to be scratched off the back of
your card. Once you put those details in, you’ll create a website log
in for yourself. You’ll never be asked for your credit card details as
it’s free to register.
The only qualification you must meet to gain free WiFi internet access
is that you must use your card at least once a month.
Here’s what else your registered gift card buys you…
* Refills on Brewed Coffee
* Beverage customization -- meaning you can add flavored syrups free
of charge
* Free beverage with purchase of Whole Bean Coffee
