Last week, we announced Loopt will be pushing out deal alerts for Groupon Now! local deals in Chicago. Right to your phone, right when you are close to a red-hot active deal.

The big news for today is: (drumroll…) the Bay Area can now get in on the instant savings! Loopt users in the Bay Area just need to make sure “Reward Alerts” are turned ON in Loopt’s settings. And that’s it. After that, you’ll start getting occasional alerts when you’re close to a deal. Also, if you’re strolling around Union St. and want to see more deals, just open up Loopt, and we’ll show you all the nearby local deals in Notifications.

To redeem the deal, just click through and you’ll purchase it through our friends at Groupon. Then, you saunter up to the business, whip out your Groupon Now!, and get on with your day (with a bit more change in your pocket).

Happy saving, SF!
