Where the codes work

We mail these magazines to homes in Kendall, Westchester, and Miami Lakes. Planned reach: about 10,000 homes per area. Confirm coverage and the next mailing with our team. You can see more about how we work on our how it works page. If you live in these areas, look for the codes in your mail.

Before you go to the shop
  • Make sure your phone battery is charged.
  • Check that you have a data signal or Wi-Fi.
  • Scan the code to see if the offer is still active.
  • Look at the map to find the right shop location.

What the code shows

The DEAL code is different from the VIDEO code. The VIDEO code shows a 30-second clip of the business. The DEAL code is just for the offer. It has a call button and a map button. If you want to advertise your own deal, you can reach out to us.

We do not have a City Deals app yet. Use your regular phone camera to scan.
