What will you get, when you mix the addiction of drinking coffee from a famous coffee-shop with free two-hours internet on WiFi? A chaos, or maybe just a temporary limited to temporary un-available access of the aforementioned service.As you have know it, Starbucks is partnering with AT&T to provide a free WiFi hotspots. The program was announced officially on last Tuesday, where you have to visit the Card Rewards Web page to either buy a new rewards card for US$5 or to register an existing gift card to be part of the program. Users who sign up before July 14 will get a free drink. In order to get the two free hours every day, Card Rewards program users must buy something with the card at least once a month.
Macworld was reporting that customers can't access Starbuck's Card Reward website to sign-up, "Customers overwhelmed the site when joining Starbucks Card Rewards," said Doug Cavarocchi, a Starbucks spokesman, in an e-mail. The problem started in the morning and was solved by midday on the West Coast. The problem affected visitors in the U.S. and Canada trying to sign on to Starbucks.com with a user name and password, he said, although other users trying to sign up for the program also saw the error message.
