WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Cyber Monday, one of the biggest online shopping days of the year, is receiving a boost today thanks to LivingSocial (http://www.livingsocial.com), the online source for people to find handpicked experiences at a great value, through a partnership with Visa. Beginning today, LivingSocial features Visa Free Deal Days, a two-week promotion giving Visa cardholders in select U.S. markets the opportunity to buy a LivingSocial deal and receive a second one for free to give to a friend or family member.
Visa Free Deal Days is live in New York City and Buffalo, NY; San Francisco, CA; San Antonio and Houston, TX; Cleveland and Akron-Canton, OH; Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, FL; and Southern Connecticut.

We are providing a unique way to discover your neighborhood," said Tim O'Shaughnessy, CEO and co-founder of LivingSocial.
