Gold Card

I have a card at Starbucks thanks to a friend in Texas. I occasionally "buy" a drink there with that prepaid card. Last week in the mail I received this gold card. There seems to be a way to earn more points by buying more drinks but I never paid to much attention to these perks. I do believe that a customer has to buy a lot more coffee than I do to earn rewards! So why did they send me this card when I already have one? It isn't registered, it isn't loaded so I don't see the advantage. It is very pretty and eye catching - the photo doesn't show the shiny surface!

I believe I'll just keep using my green and white version.
