Free $5 Starbucks Gift Cards

If you see a Zipcar that has a Starbucks cup on its roof, don't be an asshole; tell the driver about it. For being a good samaritan, you will receive a $5 Starbucks gift card from the Zipcar's driver. We've seen this over the past two days, but there's no telling how long (or short) it will last. Karma does exist and it does pay to be nice.

I don't understand -- is this a Zipcar/Starbucks promotion?

That's what is kind of unclear. I think that it is a promotion for both of those companies. However, the card I received with my gift card said "Happy Holidays from Starbucks! Every time you enjoy a (STARBUCKS) RED EXCLUSIVE beverage, we'll give 5 cents to The Global Fund, to help save lives in Africa. Enjoy a (STARBUCKS) RED EXCLUSIVE beverage with this gift card and help us end AIDS in Africa. Learn more at Starbucks.com/RED."

So it's like a tri-promotion for Starbucks, Zipcar and to end AIDS.

Sounds like Starbucks is just using Zipcar in Philly, but I'm not sure if they're promoting them outright. I know the Starbucks RED thing is international, though. Who knows?

I would but I'm to busy spitting on ZipCars. Go PhillyCarShare!

Passed a driver whilst motoring on the Walnut Street bridge who almost killed several other drivers trying to let the guy know that he had left his coffee on the roof. I hope they have Collision and Advertising Insurance policies on that little Zipcar.
