Chili's Offers Freebies To Foursquare Users

July 26, 2010

Participating Chili's Grill & Bar locations nationwide are offering a limited-time promotion in which subscribers to Foursquare, the location-based social media platform for smartphones, can receive a free order of chips and house-made salsa for checking in at Chili's restaurants.

Checking in at a Chili's location unlocks an instant redemption coupon (first-time users of Foursquare, as well as experienced users, are eligible). Participating locations will be demarcated on Foursquare with a "special offer" flag whenever a guest is within 200 yards of the restaurant.

"With more than two million users, Foursquare has given us a simple way to engage our tech-savvy brand fans," commented Chili's marketing director Nicole Cochran.
