Facebook has launched Places Deals in the UK, Canada, and several European countries (Germany, Italy, France, and Spain). The new feature, which launched in North America some time ago, allows users to take advantage of "deals" when checking in to venues, via the Facebook iOS application.
In the UK, Facebook has teamed up with Starbucks, and is offering Apple fans a free coffee when they check in to a Starbucks cafe. Furthermore, Yo Sushi is offering the first 1000 check-ins a free meal, while Mazda is offering 20 percent off an MX 5 car, and the chance to win one of five cars, too.
As you can see in the above image, a "golden ticket" will appear within the Facebook application, when a deal is up for grabs. Simply check in to the venue, and you'll be able to take advantage of the deal - it's as easy as that.
So, what are you waiting for? If you live in one of the above countries, launch the Facebook app now, and start checking in to your favorite venues. You never know, there may just be a deal up for grabs!
