Who. What. When. And now Where.

New: Find Local Deals

"I'm getting $20 off new jeans."
Check in to get individual discounts, share savings with friends, earn rewards for repeat visits or secure donations for good causes.
  • Use Facebook Places on your mobile to find special offers everywhere — just look for the deal logo.
  • Save at your favorite retailers, eateries and entertainment venues, too.
  • Check in to claim a deal and let friends know about it.
When a friend checks in and tags you
If you're already using Places, it's like you checked in yourself without having to do a thing. If you're not using Places yet, it's just like being mentioned in a status update
When you check in to get a deal
There are 4 types of Deals: individual, friend, loyalty and charity. Deals and donations are offered by individual businesses, not Facebook, and may be available in limited quantities.
Friend deals require tagging a number of friends to share savings. Loyalty deals require multiple check-ins, similar to a traditional punch card.
For more information about individual offers, please contact employees of the business offering each deal. Please visit the Help Center to learn more about Facebook Deals.
Read the Places FAQ and use our simple privacy settings to control tagging and who can see your check-ins.
Use Places on m.facebook.com or the Facebook App for iPhone, BlackBerry, Android, HP webOS or Windows Phone 7
Places is currently available in a few select countries with many more on the way.
