Is there a way Starbucks could lean into this concept as a way of raising debt? For example, offer something like "add 30 bucks to your account today and get a free iced latte." Depending on the terms of the deal, you could get really good "interest rates."
Obviously there's some downsides in that there's no fixed term for the loan though.
