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."
Via CNET."

Thank you, I did a little digging on my own and discovered the rollout date of the 23rd too.
See you there.
 
I know I am talking to a wall but I'll say it anyway.

Come on, guys don't abuse this.

Take one and let others who want it, buy a cup of coffee.

It's not like there isn't a Starbucks on every corner.

I got mine today and even though I could have grabbed one and left, I ordered my coffee to support this.
 
Went to my local Starbucks and got the card. However, when I put in the code to redeem at the App Store on my iPhone 4, I got a message that this app is not supported by iOS devices. This is so despite the back of the card giving instructions on how to redeem on your iPhone! Anyone else running into this?

I've got the exact same problem on both my iPhone and iPad. And when I try to put in the code for the Starbucks music downloads of the week, iTunes (on my iPhone and iPad) crashes.

Then in iTunes on my Mac, it either says "session timed out" (even when I', logged out and try entering the code before loggin in) or keeps prompting me for my password. I know I enter it correctly because when I enter it wrong it says it was an incorrect password, but when I enter it right it just says "accessing iTunes" and pops up with the password prompt again. So frustrating.
 
The closest Starbuck to me is near a high schools, all the picks of the week were gone. So I went to less popular Starbucks, they had tray full of Shazam Encore. :) So I got a tall Tazo Chai Soy Ice Tea.

Using my Iphone, I just redeemed the code, Shazam install without any problems.

Sweet offer from Apple & Starbucks.

No such luck for me & for anyone else that I know that tried to use it! Maybe my Starbucks (and other ones in my area from where folks I know got their cards) received cards with "bad" codes. I'll keep trying, but...

Edit: You don't acceptPM. Oh well, good luck finding good codes.

Just checked. As a "newbie", I'm not eligible to receive or send PMs. One more should do it...

----------

This post should make me no longer a "newbie". I'll try to send/receive PMs now!

Marcus 72 - You should be able to PM me now!

It would appear that ALL Starbucks in my city have cards with "bad" codes! Ouch!
 
I tried redeeming the code on my iP4 and it said that it did not support it but when I entered the code on iTunes on my laptop it worked.

just sync'd my apps and it was fine, enjoying a 6 dollar app for free! (well minus the cost of my coffee :D )
 
I tried a card from a different Starbucks and it also had a "bad" code. If anyone can PM me a "good" code, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
 
Anyone still have the Shazam Encore code ?Would like to have one.. Appreciate it :D

I went to an Apple Store opening, and hit the nearby Starbucks. I grabbed a handful of cards ( 7 ) for people that need/want them here.

Hit me up with a PM and I will send ONE to those that ask.

6 cards
