Since I have not linked any of my bank or credit card accounts to Mint due to security concerns, I don't receive any offers from Mint and have to take your word for it that Mint's offers only pertain to financial products - which, I readily agree with you, are quite difficult to avail. Since Offermatic promises deeply discounted offers without any bearing on how many others sign up for them, I expect an even brighter future for Offermatic than for GroupOn and its clones. Best wishes! I was under the impression that Mint makes offers not only for financial products but also for items of everyday purchase.

I spent some time thinking about it - and I think the analogies to Mint if Blippy are too simplified. My thinking: Mint is a Yodlee front-end (so are you) but Mint helps people organize their finances. Yawn. Great tool, but nothing earth shattering. They made money via lead gen and sold me mortgages or new credit cards etc. Again, yawn. Great business, but not earth shattering (and it still exited for 200M). Blippy takes user's CC and bank accounts like Mint and socializes it. I really dont understand why I would give them my private details just to share it with my friends. But what you're doing is combining the Mint/Blippy base model with the extremely powerful idea of GroupOn. Except unlike GroupOn, you have much more than an email address. You have my entire financial history and all my likes/desires/intent captured. That is an advertisers dream (both local and national advertisers). What more can they ask for then targeting people who are proven spenders on their service/product in the recent past? Simply brilliant. Now how you sign up advertisers, especially local, is the hard part. From everything I know and read, signing them up is a real grind and requires feet on the street, large sales team, education etc. Good luck! This idea could and should absolutely crush it.

Seems promising, let's see if you guys deliver too.
