Hat tip to reader Janna C
Just got confirmation of GC after adding and paying with MC on 2/21
Loaded the app, no mention of the offer, tried every sub-menu. Entered vehicles, got confirmation email, still no mention of an offer. Entered MC, no mention of offer, got confirmation, still no mention.
It says “while supplies last” and has been ongoing since November, so it may be dead. There’s a new parkmobile lot in my area, I was going to do this soon anyway, no harm no foul. I’ll actually use it over the weekend, will update here if any joy.
Somebody got the GC yesterday so should still be working.
I did this over this past weekend. I was not notified of the offer ever in the app, I just added my mastercard and payed for a spot on Friday.
This past Monday I received the email for the starbucks GC. Therefore, it probably isn’t dead, just takes some time to show up.
+1: Selected a zone in a transit hub that doesn’t charge for parking duration of 1 day and only paid ParkMoible’s $0.35 transaction fee. 4 days later received email stating I would receive a $5 Starbucks card within 7 days.
Just be aware paying for parking in ParkMobile costs more since they are unwilling to eat the interchange.
The terms (in 3. HOW TO ENTER) say that no purchase is necessary, just adding a new MC card is required. This contradicts to what they say at the top of the promotion page. Weird.
FYI – you can pay for a 15 minute spot even if you are not parking by 2/28.
