The program made a big splash on Small Business Saturday (the shopping day after Black Friday) and featured offers like &#8220;spend $25 get $25 off.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Later, Foursquare and AMEX <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/foursquare-extends-amex-small-business-deals-2011-12\">extended those deals<\/a>, even <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webpronews.com\/foursquare-amex-deals-jump-across-the-pond-2012-05\">launching them across the pond<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Now, Foursquare is making a move to expand these offers to more types of plastic. <\/p>\n<p>The company <a href=\"http:\/\/adage.com\/article\/digital\/foursquare-partners-visa-mastercard-discounts\/240020\/\">will announce new partnerships<\/a> with both Visa and MasterCard to provide similar check-in offers alongside participating businesses. <\/p>\n<p>The AMEX\/Foursquare deal has morphed over time to start producing more revenue for Foursquare, and the company says that the new deals with Visa and MasterCard will earn them a fee for every offer redeemed. It&#8217;s unclear whether that will be a flat fee per offer claimed or some sort of percentage deal. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is going to be a pretty core part of our revenue model going forward,&#8221; said Foursquare Product Manager Noah Weiss. <\/p>\n<p>According to AdAge, the first offer that should be available today involves $1 off for $10 spent at 8,000 participating Burger King locations. <\/p>\n<p>Since this is going to be a &#8220;core part of the revenue model,&#8221; it shouldn&#8217;t surprise you that Foursquare is also making these credit card deals more prominent within the app. <\/p>\n<p>All you&#8217;ll have to do is sync your Visa, MasterCard, or AMEX with your Foursquare account to start earning cashback on purchases made through the app. <\/p>\n<div class=\"feedflare\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:yIl2AUoC8zA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=yIl2AUoC8zA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:wF9xT3WuBAs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:wF9xT3WuBAs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:7Q72WNTAKBA\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=7Q72WNTAKBA\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:V_sGLiPBpWU\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:V_sGLiPBpWU\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:qj6IDK7rITs\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?d=qj6IDK7rITs\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?a=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:mfZ73u_VV2s\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~ff\/webpronews\/all?i=Lghd-hUQ8BQ:qIOyKU39u9g:mfZ73u_VV2s\" border=\"0\"><\/img><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/feeds.feedburner.com\/~r\/webpronews\/all\/~4\/Lghd-hUQ8BQ\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early 2011, Foursquare and American Express launched a partnership that allowed card-owners to score discounts and cashback by using Foursquare to check-in and spend at certain participating businesses around the country.
