Starbucks offers only 1,000 metal debit cards in 2013

Starbucks brings back the $450 limited-edition gift cards that brought on such an unexplainable frenzy last year, but in an even more limited capacity.

Last December Starbucks unleashed 5,000 $450 steel gift cards on Gilt.com, and the cards sold out almost instantaneously

According to Eater, the new cards are made of “rose base metal” and have $400 on them.

They also automatically get the card owner a Gold-level Starbucks membership.

There are only 1,000 of the them up for sale on Gilt.com and the mad internet dash begins at noon ET on December 6.

In 2012 the cards were sold on eBay for more than double the asking price.
