Background: Starbucks offers Starbucks cardholders two hours of free wifi every day through the AT&T network. A friend has a Starbuck’s card and registered it on the Starbucks site, but she can’t log in.<\/p>\n

I checked with an AT&T support rep who said there are a couple of ways to register a Starbucks card on their website and not all of them will get you signed up for the free AT&T wifi service. Next I spoke with Starbucks wifi support. The information they gave me (along with a couple of things I know from experience that they didn’t) should hopefully get my friend connected.<\/p>\n

How to register and use Starbucks’ free wifi<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Purchase a Starbucks card and charge it with $5 or more<\/li>\n
  2.  From home:<\/strong> Visit Starbucks.com\/wifi
    \n\"starbucks1\"<\/a>
    \n At a Starbucks store:<\/strong> Try visiting any url using a browser and you’ll be taken to a landing page. In the right upper corner or your browser window click on the link that says “Sign up for free wifi.”<\/li>\n
  3. Click on green button “Get Started Now”
    \n    \"starbucks2\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  4. On next page click the orange “Sign Up” button on the bottom of the page
    \n    \"starbucks3\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  5. On next page click radio button “I need a Starbucks account”
    \n    \"starbucks4sm\"<\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Create your username, password and profile and click orange “Next” button
    \n    \"starbucks5sm\"<\/a>\n<\/li>\n
  7. After account is created check your email<\/li>\n
  8. AT&T will send an email to verify your information. It needs to be verified before you login at a store.<\/li>\n
  9. When you try to use your browser at a store you will automatically be shown a login option.<\/li>\n
  10. To login, enter your username and password, select “ATT wifi” from the drop-down menu and click the box indicating that you agree with the terms of service. Then click log in (or – go online) and you’ll soon be logged in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If this doesn’t get you logged in, call Starbucks card support at 800-782-7282 + option 6. Don’t press any key after that. Say the word “representative” and then just wait for a live representative to pick up the call.<\/p>\n

    The Starbucks representative will check your account to see if it’s set up right. If everything is right, they will check with an AT&T technical representative and assist you to get logged into the system.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
