Now there's another way on Twitter to offer deals to consumers. Twitter Offers is a way for consumers to get discounts in stores and online.

Over the past year, we’ve thought a lot about what commerce should look like on Twitter. A few months ago, we took our first step toward this vision by giving merchants the ability to sell products directly from a Tweet. Starting today (in the U.S. only), we’re beginning to test a new way for advertisers to connect with consumers on Twitter and convert them to loyal customers in their stores, on their websites and in their apps. This feature, Twitter Offers, enables advertisers to create card-linked promotions and share them directly with Twitter users.

We’re planning to work with a handful of brands to begin testing this new feature during the holidays in the U.S. Stay tuned for more information of those partners in the near future.

That looks like it has some nice advantages over Groupon and the like and one disadvantage.

- advantage: if the user is already enrolled, it's super easy to accept the offer and the attribution is good on the merchant end

- disadvantage: the "if" in the above sentence. As near as I can tell, there's no landing page for the offer like you would have with Groupon.
