I got an email today from Groupons. In case you've never heard of Groupons, they are a site that will give you 50%-90% off local deals in over 200 cities across America. In fact, word on the street is Google will make a multi billion dolllar offer to buy them soon. I've purchase over $100 worth of food and services from them. It's a great site. In fact, it's fantastic.
The email today offered anyone who signs up for Groupons using my referral ID an opportunity to get their first $5 free. Using Groupon.com is easy. Sign up with the city of your choice. Every day they'll send you a new local deal. If enough people purchase a deal, it activates and you get extreme discounts on food and products you enjoy. You can pick an choose which deals you want and pass over the ones you aren't interested. You never have an obligation to buy anything, but you'll want to take advantage of frequent deals from popular restaurants and businesses in your local area.
Once you join, if you refer people to sign up too, you get $10 for every referral as well. It's great. I've never spent a dime of my own money and have over $180 built up. If you have lots of friends and family, you could live on free Groupon money for months. And you can give them away as gifts. It is revolutionizing retail.
(You must sign up by 12/07/10 and subscribe to their daily email alert from the city of your choice (which you'll want to). After you make your first purchase, you'll get a $5 credit toward your next Groupon).
