How much does starbucks pay in texas?

Do companies pay for being Starbucks Pick (giveaway app) of The Week?

• Every week Starbucks US promotes an Android/iOS app and it is usually a paid version. So do developers pay Starbucks to get promoted or do Starbucks initiate inquiry to promote the app?

  comments on his experience with Starbucks approaching him to be the App of the Week: http://5by5.tv/buildanalyze/80 (15:50) Months prior to the actual week, Starbucks emailed him and offered to promote the app. The offer is purely promotional, and no one really makes money from the deal. It is just a way to get people to use the app. Starbucks said that they would put somewhere between 500-600k promotion codes, but not all of these would be redeemed. The ultimate irony is that Marco is largely known for being a coffee snob, and has publicly berated the company on his blog: http://www.marco.org/2007/12/06/out-of-love-with-starbucks (Though he apparently likes the instant variety: http://www.marco.org/2009/11/28/starbucks-via-ready-brew-instant-coffee-i)
