Starbucks giving out free apps in the US

by Kelly Hodgkins Aug 16th 2011 at 10:00AM

Now when you go into Starbucks, you could walk away with a free paid application instead of a bonus music track. According to Cnet, Starbucks recently launched a "Pick of the Week" program that lets you download a new app each week.

The free app offer works the same way Starbucks free music track offer has for years. You buy a coffee or snack and grab a free card at the checkout register. On the back of the card is a code that you enter into iTunes to redeem your free application.

The promotion kicked off with Shazam Encore, a premium version of the music-identifying app that normally sells for US$5.99. Each week there will be a new free application for you to download while you sip your latte grande.

No sign of these in the Portland, OR area either. Where is this promotion actually active?

Unfortunately my local Starbucks has not started this promo yet. I asked a barista friend of mine.
