Foursquare is powering Snacksquare, a newly launched site that pulls together all of the free deals for mayors and customers on the social location app near you. You can see any deal going down anywhere in the world right now, so read on for the details and how it can help you.
Snacksquare is a new site, just launched this week, that uses Foursquare’s APIs to place deals on a Google Map. It’s a lot more helpful than the current implementation on the Foursquare iPhone app, which only lists nearby deals, and lets you find out exactly what Foursquare deals can be had at any venue on the planet with a Google Map.

Although Snacksquare looks a bit too much like Ryanair’s website for our liking, it works superbly, letting you drill down by location and category to see what’s on offer through Foursquare. For instance, it shows where in London you can find Mayor specials at restaurants and bars for free food or drinks by checking in the most and earning the title of Mayor (or free truffles just for checking in at Paul A Young Fine Chocolates).
Currently, most Foursquare deals in the UK are limited to a few locations in central London, but that’s to be expected from a small, US based start up service initially. Expect plenty more deals to pop up though as Foursquare takes off, and keep track of them at the link below.
