If you have an Iphone, Droid or other smartphone, you’d do well to install Foursquare, a location-based application designed to let your friends know where you are. When you go somewhere, you open the application, find your location, and “check in.” It’s fun – and, at certain stores, you can get significant discounts for using Foursquare. Here’s a list of the freebies and/or discounts currently associated with Foursquare. I didn’t include discounts exclusively for the “mayor” – the person with the most check-ins to a single place – because those aren’t available to everyone.
