I tried it out with a $20 card this morning (I've had it for 3 years and never remember to use it on the rare occasion that I'm at Starbucks). I just received my 0.014916 bitcoin via Coinbase. It took 2 hours between when I submitted it and when I received the bitcoin.

Sorry it took so long- I'm hand-verifying transactions to be safe. Very much a human error I plan to remedy.

No apologies necessary! I was simply letting the skeptical person know that in my case it took 2 hours and that you were legit.
