AmazonLocal will email geographically-relevant offers to users every morning, and offer reward points to those using an Amazon credit card.

It enters a hotly-contested market led by Groupon which recently suffered a dip in share price owing to lower-than-expected sales.

Amazon has not yet given details of expanding the service across the UK.
