Seems kind of pointless.

Does seem kind of pointless. And I check Groupon and Living Social daily and have never come close to seeing 10 deals in a month I'd want to purchase on either site. Has anyone else?

Have purchased from booth groupon and living social on more than a few occasions, but still see no real value in the card.

This card does seem pointless, however you don't have to purchase 10 deals with it. It just said "10 purchases." It is cobranded with Visa and Chase, so I read that to say that any 10 credit card purchases. Either way, the reward of 10 deal bucks, or whatever those are seems pointless.

Not exactly my kind of credit card -- with very limited rewards redemptions. However, this card could have a nearly 100% cashback if you use it to make 10 ~$1 purchases each month.
