If you've attempted to claim your venue on Foursquare and were unable to do so, it's possible that your place has been already (and properly) classified as a coworking space which falls under the corporate/office category and thus can't be claimed. This means that you can't be registered as staff or offer specials. I've been in touch with a Forsquare staff member and she was very helpful in changing categories and letting me claim Cobb Exchange. She agreed that it would be a good idea to re-classify coworking spaces and asked me for some information to help her make the case to the rest of the team. I pointed her to the wiki, but I'm not sure whether she'll find everything she needs. If you'd like to see this change happen and wouldn't mind helping a bit I'll put you in touch with her.
I tried to claim our space (Coworking0711) too and found the same problem, that this category couldn't be claimed. So I just changed the category to Services and claimed my space. Anyway I have never received any feedback from foursquare. If you could arrange a contact to the staff member I would be thankful.
