Tomorrow, May 20th, we’re celebrating the launch of Groupon Now! by giving Chicago hundreds of $1 deals, all over town, all day long.
A massage? Dollar. A delicious cheese-coated snack at Geja’s? Four quarters. A boat ride? One-hundred pennies–Wait, don’t pay in pennies.
Keep an eye out for Groupon street teams stationed all around the city. They’ll point you in the direction of the closest deal and help you download the app (if you already have the Groupon app, just update to the newest version.)
Got one of these? Access Groupon Now! from your desktop at www.groupon.com/now. The $1 deals will cover anything you’re in the mood for and vary by neighborhood. New offers will pop up throughout the day, so be sure to check back to see what’s offered next.
Groupon Now! is a new way to find great local deals that you can buy and use right now. When you enter your location into your browser or mobile app (currently iPhone/Android), you can discover the deals that are happening right around the corner from you.
Groupon Now! will be expanding to more cities and mobile applications in the future, so let us know your feedback! We’ll be live-blogging here tomorrow and posting your photos.
We know we said we were announcing this surprise on Friday…but we were never good at keeping secrets. We generally open our Christmas presents on Thanksgiving because we can’t stand the suspense.

Marietta,
Sorry for any frustration. The Fandango deal was a specific promotion and not everyone was eligible. If you have questions about referring friends, email support@groupon.com and they can provide you with more details on how to do that.
