If, like me, you have a Starbucks app with some cash in it that you're never likely to use because of how evil their management has gotten, I have a suggestion!

Delete your app and leave the cash there as a liability they can't touch. At least in the US, these are left as a liability until used.

Take any new gift cards received straight to the shredder.
