For those waiting to take advantage of Facebook Deals, the service is now available in Canada for iPhone. The service allows users to “Check In†to receive discounts at various Canadian retailers.
Users must first check into Facebook Places and then search for a discount. An alternative is if you’re at a participating store, a message will be pushed to your device with a specific discount.
At this time, there are 11 companies that have signed up as participating members of Facebook Deals. For example, WIND Mobile and TELUS both have deals:
Wind Mobile:
TELUS:
That deal from TELUS is pretty good if you’re looking for an iPhone 3GS!

Doesn’t seem to be showing up for all businesses yet. No option on mine, so I’m guessing they are doing a staged roll out, or just for the big guys for now, which kind of sucks if they are picking on large businesses to start.
