In my research (and even FB's own attempts) people don't really buy products via FB. So it's a definite change of tactics to get into this side of the market. Of course you could have a business page and offer these discounts/offers today w/o issue via a simple post. The deals market in the US is getting crazy (groupon, livingsocial and 50+ others) are now offering these group purchasing models. The FB model doesn't appear to be like this - more for local coupons if you do some thing like check-in to a place or your friend checks in. So targeting foursquare, scvngr, gowalla, etc. as you mentioned. It's funny most people don't even mention scvngr in articles and they are funded by google ventures... crazy times.
