Shopkick Brings In-Store Mobile Coupons To Android Phones

Fresh off a partnership with Target , Shopkick is bringing its geo-coupon system to Android phones with a free app. Now Android users can access in-store coupons from Best Buy, Macy's, Target, American Eagle, Sports Authority and more. Instead of checking in, as you would with a geo app like Foursquare or Gowalla, shopkick automatically recognizes when someone with the free shopkick app on their phone walks into a store. Once a shopkick Signal is detected, the app delivers reward points called "kickbucks" to the user for walking into a retail store.
