Groupon lovers in Chicago, New York, and San Francisco (so, um, everyone in those cities): listen up. Today, Loopt teamed up with Groupon to pull its real-time offers, Groupon Now!™, into Loopt. Loopt users can now receive alerts when there’s a live deal nearby (lunchtime? Ding! There’s a deal down the street. Let’s go!).

Groupon Now! deals will also appear on place pages within Loopt. So, if you’re logged into Loopt, you can see Groupon Now! deals around you with one glance.

Groupon is the master of local deals, but getting alerted to them instantly from Loopt, that’s going to bring a whole new deal experience into the fold. We built Reward Alerts into Loopt so that people could opt in to extremely targeted, time-limited deals. Loopt is the only service that can notify you of these deals based on your current location without even opening the app.

It’s easy, simply go into your Loopt settings and turn Reward Alerts on and let the money saving begin! You’ll start receiving your once-a-day, location-specific Groupon Now! deal alert… then you can use Loopt’s already existing features to notify your friends, plan an instant meet up and take advantage of these deals as they’re happening. If you fire up Loopt and scroll through places around you, you’ll also start seeing Groupon Now! icons in the mix. Click, buy the deal through your existing Groupon account, and you’ll be using the deal just moments later.
