Starbucks and Apple Partner for Free iPhone Apps

They're not out in Central New Jersey, If anybody see Shazam in their local Starbucks, please PM me a code. thanks
 
I stopped by 2 different Starbucks today and didn't see the app cards at either; only the free song. Perhaps tomorrow...
 
re starbucks comments previous

1) true peets and coffee bean have better coffee
2) funny comment about the sbux barrista is not considered a barrista
3) i laugh at people standing in line just for a cup of joe - make your own
4) sbux used to be cool and hip +7 years ago - now ghetto and bums starting to camp there all day
5) creepy how some peeps camp out using sbux wifi as their office every morning
6) coffe bean drive thru near my house is the best - cute friendly girls too
7) thats all folks

How about iPad Native and Universal Apps?

The app mentioned in the article is the iPhone native version, and jot the Universal or iPad Native app.
It would be nice too see free codes for these kinds of apps too.
 
Not Out Yet

I checked at my local Starbucks today and they didn't even have any idea that this promotion existed. Has anyone been able to knab a card yet?
 
Saw this article yesterday and stopped in my local Starbucks, still just the music. I had Shazam back when it was free for unlimited ID's, then one of the updates took that away and it pissed me off so I bought SoundHound. I'd def take Shazam for free though, hoping these cards show up somewhere before they move on to a new App.
 
GREAT for anyone who doesn't have the app. I just bought it about a month ago and use it all the time. To save $6 on an app that a lot of people could use is much better than a .99 song. Kudos Starbucks and Apple :cool:
 
Any luck for anyone in the Seattle area? I visited 2 starbucks and no one had any clue what I was talking about

Same here, except I got SoundHound for free back when it was Midomi. I switched to SoundHound after my iPhone 4 upgrade made my lose my grandfathered Shazam license. I discovered recently though, that Shazam changed their licensing system and I'm now back to having unlimited tags.

Shazam Encore would be great to have though, as it has more features than the grandfathered version of Shazam. Still looking for a Starbucks in Ann Arbor that carries the cards.

Clearwater florida 3 starbucks no nothing about the free apps.

This is a great idea.

Hate Starbucks. Love the deal.

I'll cave and do it. I'm using the free version of Shazam, but this is a great deal.

Can't stand Starbucks. I'm a Peet's fanatic since I used to live 2 blocks away from the original Peet's. So, what I'll do is get the Starbucks deal *and* go to Peet's immediately afterward. That way Peet's isn't losing any business from me.

I've tried a handful of San Francisco stores, and nobody has even the barest clue about this.

Way to go, Starbucks & Apple :-/
 
not so fast...

So after a little digging, I discovered the following (we have to wait until next week):

http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=3209320

"Starbucks yesterday announced a promotion that will be starting August 23rd similar to the iTunes song of the week, only this time it is an iPhone app of the week. They kicked it off with a serious value with Shazam Encore being this weeks app. This version of Shazam is usually around $6 and allows unlimited tagging. Quite the deal for just a trip into Starbucks, even if you get a coffee!

If there are no physical card at your location you may try the following:

"To get the free apps, you’ll need to head to your local Starbucks, connect to their Wi-Fi network, and click into the Starbucks Digital Network. A shortcut for iPhone owners is to use the official Starbucks app (free), which has a direct link into the Starbucks Digital Network."

How is that "creepy"? I work from home and I like to get out of the house sometimes while I'm working.

You and most of the other Apple notebook owners... Add some Nike shoes to the mix and you should know why those places are creepy.

My old German teacher used to say: "You are all so individual... in your Jeans."

Get it? Same coffee, same notebook, same clothes, same lifestyle, probably even the same mindset and attitude and thoughts. That's creepy.
 
If anyone gets these codes, could you be nice and share them with other macrumors members? Please. :)
