Save Some Cash by Checking on Foursquare During Tourism Week

Foursquare Deals in Memphis

If there's a museum or show in Memphis you've been wanting to check out, next week would be a good time to do so.

In honor of National Tourism Week (May 7 - 14), some Memphis-area shops, restaurants, and attractions are offering discounts to visitors who check in on Foursquare.

For those of you not in the know, FourSquare is a location-based social network and game. It's simple - download the free FourSquare app, go somewhere, use the app to "check in". The more you check in, the more points you get. You can also pick up points for adding tips to venues, earn badges for checking in at certain places, and become the "mayor" of your favorite spots.

For the next week, checking in on FourSquare at the following local businesses could save you a bit of cash:

1. Goner Records is offering 15% off of any purchase when you check in.

2. A check in at the Stax Museum will get you $2 off admission.

3. Those who check in at the Rock'n'Soul Museum will receive a free lanyard calendar with purchase of museum admission while supplies last.

4. Check in at the Peabody Hotel and get a yummy duck cookie from the hotel's deli.

5. The National Ornamental Metal Museum will discount admission by $1 if you check in on FourSquare.

6. If you're planning to check out show by your favorite band at the Hi-Tone this week, they'll give you $1 off cover if you check in.

7. Possibly one of the best incentives to check in is Kooky Canuck's offer of a 32oz Bud Light for 3.49 when you check in.

8. Check in at world-famous Graceland and get a free 75 years of Elvis poster and sticker (while supplies last).

9. The Alex Haley House in Henning, Tenn. is giving $1 off admission to those who check in during Tourism Week.
