Foursquare’s New Specials Feature

Alright. I’m officially ticked off.

Don’t get me wrong, the whole Foursquare deal feature is not a bad thing, actually, I love it. What I don’t love, is that I went shopping yesterday and when I looked into the new deal feature on Foursquare today, that’s when I got ticked. Only because I could have saved so much money!! Not fair. Why am I telling you this? Learn from my mistake. I could have had all these great discounts and deals, right at my fingertips, but I failed to use my full potential. Here’s what I mean.

If you haven’t used Foursquare, you should know that it’s a location based app for your phone that allows you to check-in to a place you are close to. Like, if you’re at the outlet mall, per-say… Once you are in the ‘Places’ tab, you’ll notice that there is an orange bar at the bottom of your screen that says “54 Specials Nearby” or something to that extent. Click on that little orange bar. It will take you to their deal page where it tells you all the specials nearby that you can take advantage of! Now if I focus on the Albertville area where I was yesterday at the outlets, there’s all kinds of deals! I can only imagine being at the Mall of America with this new feature! *drools*

Here are some hot deals to use if you’re going shopping the Albertville outlets soon:

• Great Clips – Register to win free haircuts for a year
• Samsonite – Free stainless steel water bottle with purchase while supplies last
• Puma – Show your puma foursquare badge and get a hard replica plus 20% off a single item
• Zales – check-in and unlock $50 off a $300 purchase
• Vitamin World – 20% off any 1 item of choice, or $5 off $25 or more
• Harry & David – $10 off purchase of $50 or more
• Skechers – Become mayor and get 15% off your purchase, check-in and get $5 off a $50+ purchase
• Justice – Take 40% off everything
• Rue21 – $10 off purchase of $30 or more
• Aeropostale – Check in and receive $10 off $50 purchase or more

So. I’m using my mistake to better your shopping experience. And you best believe I will be using these check-in specials from now on!! I’ll let you know if I catch on to any goodies 🙂
