Groupon began to provide 10-dollar bonuses to local US customers.

Service discounts Groupon decided to launch a new share - now every user in the US, who took the opportunity to purchase a coupon for any local service or product, can get a 10-dollar loan. Yes, indeed a loan, not a discount. But here “credit” is used in the sense of a bonus received by the buyer. The service is already relevant, and will work until about December 24 of this year. As mentioned above, the Groupon “credit line” works only in the USA.

Perhaps this promotion is a response to Amazon's actions, where users get a 5-dollar discount on any product, provided they work with the Price Check service, which allows you to check the prices of some products right inside a regular store. Price Check finds the same product, only with a lower price, and shows the user where to buy such a product. As a result, the buyer, taking advantage of Price Check, also receives a 5 percent discount.

The head of Groupon has already managed to declare that 10-dollar loans are not provided as part of a response campaign, this is an independent idea of ​​a discount service. Thus, the purchase of a local product or service provides a bonus to both the local seller and the buyer who receives the loan. It is worth noting here that EBay Inc. provides 10-dollar loans to those buyers who left about $ 100 with at least three sellers within the service.

Perhaps such actions will be able to help regional sellers, but still they are mostly aimed at attracting new customers and customers within the framework of the services themselves, including EBay Inc., Groupon and Amazon. As for the discounts of $ 5, everything is clear. In the case of a loan, or a bonus - everything is a bit more complicated here, but it seems like this opportunity is also quite attractive. It is a pity that bonuses will be charged only to residents of the United States.
