14 DAY TRIAL // Apple today launched a new App Store section/app category dubbed Deals & Rewards. It’s filled with apps for bargain hunters who are supposedly strapped for cash or just plain stingy.
I love the idea of someone who is poor enough to require bargain apps but has sufficient funds to buy an iPhone 5s. Then again, we’re all a bit miserly aren’t we? Why pay more today when you can wait for Black Friday and pay half-price and risk of getting stampeded, right? Ah, humanity!
But regardless of your reasons, you can really save quite a few dollars (and trips, mind you) by using some of the tools featured on the company’s newly-opened Deals & Rewards section, which offers pretty much what its name implies (full description below).
“Get the most for your money with budget-friendly apps that’ll help you find great coupons, hot deals, and amazing discounts. With our handpicked selections, you can receive alerts when your wish-list items go on sale, earn rewards from your favorite retailers, and much more.”
There you can find apps like Groupon, LivingSocial, Norstrom Rack, Fab.com, 1Sale, Boxed Wholesale, Wallgreens for iPad, Sephora App for iPad, and dozens more. To see them all, access the App Store and wait for the Deals & Rewards banner at the top to reel into position, then click it.
