The big question... is this actually useable at Starbucks? If I show a barista a 3rd-party, non-Starbucks affiliated app, and ask them to scan it, will they do it? Or just look at me like I've grown 3 heads? Even if it is a valid barcode (and still not clear on where that's coming from either - I don't understand the 'crowdsourcing a gold card' thing - can someone explain?)
