Apple and Starbucks are at it again, this time with a new Pick of the Week iTunes offer. Basically each week Starbucks will distribute cards good for a free download of a hand-picked song from the iTunes Store. Starting this week the first such song is the Counting Crows' "Washington Square."Please keep your comments relevant to this blog entry.

Loss of ten points for lack of link to the Counting Crows song so we can at least preview it. ;)

$tarbucks has been doing this in my area for quite some time now.
I have a dozen of the cards sitting on my desk, I have redeemed maybe 1/2 of them.

Gotta love free music like this, but I'm still waiting for them to roll out the Starbucks iTunes store for iPhone / iPod touch here in L.A. Wasn't that supposed to come here last month?

I walked into Starbucks this morning, and saw the display of cards alongside the rest of the movies and CD's for sale.

Hey everyone. I'm surprised I'm the first Starbucks partner to reply to this, but yes - we did start carrying the free download cards today. We received the cards yesterday, and were given instructions to put them on the CD stand. We also started carrying $25 iTunes gift cards and some new digital releases. No purchase necessary for the free downloads, if you can't find them on the CD stand ask a barista where they might be.

Several Starbucks here have been doing this for the last 6-8 months. Old news?

IIRC, Starbucks was previously doing this *with a purchase.* Plus, those were done on a daily basis; this is one free song—no purchase necessary—each week.
Similar deals, but still different.

Every starbucks should have them by the register or where the cds are. If not, they are screwing up or they haven't got the shipment yet.
Before, starbucks used to give out cards like this with a new song/artist a day. That promo lasted for two months last year around thanksgiving. This is an entirely different promotion, where instead of new songs a day, it's a new song a week. And there are only FOUR different songs being given out for this promo, so it's nothing exciting.
Yes I work at starbucks.
