Foursquare has Black Friday deals

We are on Foursquare and we even use it from time to time. But, it’s mostly for research purposes, to see how we can use the location-based social media application. For the most part, we aren’t in love with it.

However, we just saw a neat article on Black Friday deals that shoppers could get merely by checking in. This is how Foursquare could really be useful.

Foursquare partnered with numerous retailers to get in on the Black Friday fun. Just be checking in, you get a discount on your total purchase. Sweet!

According to Vator.tv, the deals included American Eagle (15% off), H&M (20% off), Hollister (20% off), JC Penney ($10 off $50 purchase), Payless Shoesource ($5 off $25 purchase), Piercing Pagoda (10% off), RadioShack (10% off), and Zales ($50 off $300 purchase).

This is exactly how these businesses can utilize Foursquare. And if this keeps up, we’ll probably pay more attention to our Foursquare accounts.
