seems good, i like the add. anyone know if there a link to sign up for a credit or something?
I like the concept, but;
- Hard to know if it will be good value in the end e.g. $50 off voucher might sound good but compare it to a regular voucher where you know what you get for $50 you could end up paying alot more. (e.g. a $200 dinner for two would end up still cost you $152 etc) would be hard to judge unless you really did your research/planned things out.
- I'm assuming they are banking on a lot of people buying/forgetting which will most likely be the case with something of such little cost. I understand it is better to forget about a $2 voucher vs a $50 scoopon, but I think i would be less likely to forget to use that scoopon i paid 25 times more for. But that is just a personal thing so may not apply.That said, i do like to see a shift towards getting rid of the bias associated with using vouchers. I always feel like using a scoopon/groupon/spreets etc you are often treated as 2nd class. If the terms and conditions allowed for the voucher to be used only at time of payment i would see that as a huge plus over most of the other group sellers.
i'd assume you'll know the deal upfront.
like what we've seen with group buy.
such as $50 for 2 mains, 2 dessert and bottle of wine.
so you pay $2 for the voucher but when u show up you pay the $50 required for the deal.
Kinda like the entaintment book, would be even better to show and pay at the end though.
As long as the deal isn't very specific then it'll work. like $40 for $100 worth of everything.
so when you are done with your dinner and get the bill, you'll pay the discounted amount of $40
with your voucher.I personally wouldn't buy just a discount voucher as I find the price is usually inflated anyways
so you really dont save much, u'll find a better deal looking else where.
I like how they show you how many deals are available in each city. If none in your city of interest, you don;t waste time clicking.
The following makes me think you have to disclose and therefore are subject to discrimination:
"24hr notice required for change or cancellation of an appointment or voucher may be forfeited."
sounds like a good idea… I like it.
After much thought…
To me this more of an financial solution to deal providers flopping on deals. It only motivates the customer not to escalate a dodgy DP over $2.
Sure enough that a number of vouchers go unused and therefore the customer is $2 short but it doesnt actually filter or maintain quality DPs, it is a financial control that decreases customer escalations.At least in one aspect this group buy site highlights the importance market exposure for deal providers and not just a one day cash cow.
Also, as discussed on other threads, true bargainers run the risk of being price jacked for some of these deals. I admit I claim the voucher at payment. And Ive done the thing ring up for a booking with a voucher only to be declined then call back 10 min later for a normal booking and scored.
Anyway, I digress further: a true bargainer would escalate over $2 XD
Uhh, a 99% discount. I don't think anyone would give that much.
Its not a 99% discount, youre pretty much paying $2 for the voucher paper which says you only need to pay $X of $Y. So the total cost would be $X + $2. If Im right, you pay the $X when you redeem your voucher, rather than paying it all at once before you get to redeem it.
Kinda like paying $2 for a shop a docket voucher…
So basically youre literally paying $2 for a deal… a deal that gives for eg a 60% discount for dinner for two…?
But if you dont use it or the deal provider flops… youre only out by $2….. hmmm
