Expanding the foursquare Specials platform to more partners
Whether it's a discount or special treatment or a free baseball, people love foursquareSpecials. That's why FourSquare has been expanding the platform - creating six new types of Specials, offering Starwood Reward Points, and partnering with American Express for new 'load to card' seamless redemption. And, starting this week, foursquare Specials will now include 'Deals' - deep discounts that you buy ahead of time - from five amazing companies:
§ LivingSocial, with their handpicked experiences that you can share with friends, all over the world;
§ Gilt City, which unlocks insider access to the best of your city, like exclusive menus and tickets to sold-out shows;
§ zozi, focusing exclusively on unique experiences and activities like moonlight kayaking, cycling and wine tasting, and shark diving;
§ BuyWithMe, for discovering the best experiences in 13 cities across the U.S.; and,
§ AT&T Interactive (Deal of the Day from YP.com), with over 50% off their daily deals for real life in Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth, and Los Angeles.
All specials run through your personalized Explore tab, so you only see specials that are right for you, and also why they're right for you (for instance, if two of your friends like the place).
If you’re walking around and see a Special you like, a couple taps in your app and you'll be able to buy it, all without leaving foursquare. And if you find a good Special while browsing on
, you can buy it there, too.
In the coming months they'll be featuring more types of deals.
