Facebook has launched a new deals service offering discounts to users when they 'check in' to its Facebook Places application.
What's the deal?
You can now use Facebook Deals to get discounts and vouchers at your local coffee shop or high street store.
Lots of companies including, Starbucks, Argos, Mazda and Debenhams have teamed up with Facebook to offer freebies and discounts to smart phone users.
Free cups of coffee, free mascara and free sushi are just some of the freebies included in the launch along with other offers from O2, Benneton and Mazda.
You can also get free entry to Alton Towers on 18th February by using the scheme.
How do I benefit?
To use the new Facebook Deals service you will need a smart phone, have a Facebook account and be happy to use the existing Facebook Places application.
Facebook Places allows you to 'check in' at certain locations using your smartphone, to let your friends (and Facebook) know where you are.
Facebook Deals works in conjunction with Facebook Places to find you exclusive offers based upon your updated location.
If there is a deal available you can then simply pass your smart phone to a member of staff to redeem the offer.

However, sometimes offers can be withdrawn or changed at the last minute so please do check that you're able to redeem this Deal before parting with any money, or going out of your way to take advantage of the offer.
