Yelp Errors: Please note that the Yelp app actually has some incorrect information. James Brett Coiffure(25% off first service) is listed in the Yelp App but we were contacted by them and told this is not offered. Beardall Animal Hospital($10 off first visit) is also listed in there, but we were also contacted by them and informed this is not a legitimate offer they have. Thanks to these businesses for reaching out.
Notes:
If there are any check-in specials that we are missing, please let us know. If there’s a new app out that we don’t have listed above that has check-in specials, let us know so we can list it. You can also leave a comment below.
We verify this list for accuracy once a month. The last verification was on September 1st, 2015.
To take advantage of any of these specials just download the app on your Smartphone. All of the details are there but it’s a case of going to the place, checking in and then information will usually pop up on your phone providing a coupon code for the cashier to use.
If you use Foursquare and you got the notification about moving check-ins to Swarm; at the moment, it appears that you will still be able to check-in via Foursquare. We checked the app Swarm and didn’t see anything there about specials, while we were still able to check in via Foursquare.
If you are a local business, considering offering Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare or Yelp specials. It’s advertising for you on multiple levels. If you’re curious about it you can send us a message and we can chat more.
