“Snapchat is a new way for us to offer exclusive time-sensitive deals and experiences to our customers,” said Rich Williams, Groupon’s head of global marketing. “What better way to launch our newest channel than with Wiz and one of the hottest albums of the summer?”

One lucky purchaser of the deal will receive:
