Facebook’s New “Deals” – Score FREE Gap Jeans, BOGO Chipotle, 20% off at Macy’s, & More!

Facebook has launched a new “Deals” section for iPhone/Mobile Touch users.  Starting today, local businesses will be able to offer you deals when you check in to their place on Facebook.  Very similar to Foursquare, you’re being rewarded simply for visiting the business.  It’s simple, just “check in” on Facebook to see if there are any deals near your current location.Here are a few of the deals that are coming soon (if not already going on!)

• American Eagle Outfitters: Offering 20 percent off.
• Chipotle: Giving its Facebook guests two entrees for the price of one (Dates for this one are 11/13-14 & 11/20-21)
• Gap: Giving blue jeans to the first 10,000 customers to claim their deal.
• Macy’s: Offering 20 percent off select merchandise.
• REI: Donating $1 to a local conservation non-profit when you visit its stores.
• San Francisco 49ers: Giving to the first 200 fans who check in the opportunity to buy tickets to a subsequent football game for just (you guessed it) $49.

Here are the details on how to get your Deals from the Facebook’s Blog:
Finding deals near you is easy. On touch.facebook.com or the latest version of Facebook for iPhone, touch “Places” and then touch “Check In.” You’ll see a few different types of Deals: individual deals for a discount, free merchandise or other reward; friend deals where you and your friends claim an offer together; loyalty deals for being a frequent visitor to a place; and charity deals where businesses pledge to donate to a cause when you check in.
Nearby Places with deals have a yellow icon…

When you touch the Place, you can view the deal and check in to claim it…

Then, just show your phone to the cashier to get your gift or discount…
