Foursquare Location-Based Service And Groupon In Partnership To Add Groupon Now To Foursquare

Posted on July 29, 2011 by Joop Rijk

Groupon and Foursquare have agreed to work together to bring real-time location-based Groupon Now offers to the Foursquare service. Foursquare earlier this month made similar arrangements with LivingSocial, AT&T Interactive, Gilt Groupe and others. Foursquare users in the US can now find the Groupon Now deals under the Explore tab of the mobile Foursquare app and on Foursquare.com.

As with many other Groupon partnership deals Foursquare will receive an undisclosed cut from the Groupon deal earnings. Foursquare will be rolling out Groupon Now deals first in Chicago today and to other parts of the US and Canada by Sunday.

Foursquare and Groupon has been in discussion about this partnership since May of the year. Source
