Starbucks Just Launched a Credit Card For Coffee Fiends The new Visa credit card was created to help you build up rewards even when you buy things outside of its locations. The points, which are called "Stars," can be used at over 8,000 locations across the United States. The annual fee for the card is $49, which will be immediately loaded into the Starbucks mobile app followed by a physical card in the next 7-10 days following approval. JPMorgan Chase is backing the credit card, with both companies reportedly working on a prepaid debit card as well.
