Google Offers Help

Overview 

What is Google Offers?

Google Offers BETA will get you great deals in your city on things you like and things you need. Whether it’s half off a title at the corner bookstore or a meal at a local restaurant, the offers will be delivered right to your inbox.

Why did you pick Portland as your first beta city?

We picked Portland because it’s a city known for its unique local businesses, great restaurants, interesting places and a thriving, active community.

When do you plan to launch Google Offers in other cities?

We hope to bring Google Offers to New York and the San Francisco Bay Area in the near future, so stay tuned. In the meantime, if you don’t see your city here,you can let us know you’re interested and we’ll let you know when we come to your area.

I live in Portland. When will I see the first offer in my inbox?

We’re working hard to get Google Offers up and running in Portland. Soon, you’ll start receiving emails with great local offers if you have signed up with Google Offers.
