I've mentioned before that I'm a new Android phone user. I'm having lots of fun checking out all of the free apps that are available for it. One app I didn't think I would use was foursquare because honestly I'm not all about telling the whole world where I am at any given moment. However I've learned that there are definite benefits to foursquare. There are specials you can unlock by "checking in" at certain locations. Last month Kum & Go had a foursquare special that gave you a free fountain pop with your third check-in. Although I didn't use that offer my Hy-Vee store offers a free loaf of bakery fresh Italian Bread with every check-in and a $10 purchase. Since I'm new to this whole thing I don't know if that special is at all Hy-Vee's or just my store, but it's definitely worth checking out. We love to make our garlic bread with the Italian loaf and normally it would cost $1.99.
I would love to hear what kind of specials you have seen and taken advantage of on foursquare. Are there any available right now I need to look into?
I love FourSquare, when I can get it to locate where I'm at. Sometimes, I'll be in the store/place with my GPS location turned on and it can't find me, even when I search for the store's specific name.
ReplyDeleteI have, however, used a deal with FourSquare. I was at Chili's with 3 other ladies and they all downloaded it, we friended each other and because we were all friends checked into the same place, we were able to get free queso & chips and a free appetizer which meant we only had to pay for our drinks! It was awesomeness!
