Keeps saying "this service is currently unavailable". EDIT: Sorry, it does work if you go to stores and select a store. It just doesn't work from the link on the home page. Thanks for posting! nojviad Well-Known Member May 28, 2013 116 0 0 #12 nojviad, Aug 2, 2013 Exactly. The generated promocode could be used world-wide nightc1 Well-Known Member Oct 19, 2012 4,362 0 0 AL #13 nightc1, Aug 2, 2013 I popped the app open, went to Stores and found it blank... scratched my head, then read the article. I realized I need to go select the closest store to me, and bam, there was the listing. I had no issues redeeming the code (US person, picked a US store, got a US code). I would assume the code is region specific. For others, maybe pick a store in your country to get the same free deal... or make sure if you have many itunes accounts that you are logged into the right one when redeeming the code. I keep the starbucks app around for the one free app/musictrack a week offering... I think I'll add this over to my game deals folder as well. Hopefully someone will post about it here too incase I forget to check, or the notification system in the app doesn't alert on these free deals.

SpikeGuy Well-Known Member May 8, 2012 532 0 16 #16 SpikeGuy, Aug 2, 2013 Appreciate the tips about selecting a store. What's weird is that I already had a store selected but I kept getting the error when I selected the Color Zen link on the main menu. But when I went into the stores section (my store was already selected) and hit the Color Zen link it worked. Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #17 Greyskull, Aug 2, 2013 Yeah...it's wierd. Dispite the deal showing up on the front page of the app, clicking on it gives you an error. If go to stores and select one, then, within the store interface it shows the promotion. Click on it and everythin is fine. So now we have:Apple's pick of the week;IGN's monthly(?) freebie,Starbucks weekly freebie (2 a week, one through the app and one inside stores)...any other regularly scheduled promos I'm forgetting about?
