I thought it was a brother site… :S
maybe make it a second cousin site otherwise things might feel weird.
people pay to get coupons? can't you get them off the back of dockets?
Shopadocket charge for businesses to advertise (quite expensive) so the deals do not tend to be as exciting as somewhere a business can advertise for free such as DiscountOn and therefore pass on a better deal for you the customer.
so the deals do not tend to be as exciting
I just checked the deals from Subway and the vouchers on your site and on shopadocket are identical.
The only difference I can see is that you charge $1 to get the docket and shopadocket allow you to print them for free…
Does anyone even use group buying/ coupon sites anymore??
Agreed, this is a good alternative to group buying sites as the deals are usually just great savings on restaurants, hair salons, activities and that sort of stuff but without having to pay for the deal until you are getting it at point of sale. No risk on having to pay for the deal until you get it for the customer and no cost for the business to advertise so it is a win win for both sides. ShopaDocket charge to advertise on their site, so it's not free for the business and the deals tend not to be as exciting in many cases due to the very expensive cost of advertising. Its totally free on discounton.com.au
I’m confused, or am I not understanding it correctly. Site says “$1 to download any coupon, Don't Pay now! Only Pay when you use your coupon at the Merchant, less the $1 paid to get the coupon! Don't use it, Don't Pay!”
So as a customer I don’t pay to download the coupon, only IF I redeem it, but how do I pay the $1 for the coupon if I “Only Pay when you use your coupon at the Merchant, less the $1” If the merchant wants $60 for the offer, and I pay $59 to the merchant I’m saving $2 aren’t I? And why does signing up now get 10 free – how is that going to work?
The first 10 Coupons downloaded are completely free for all new signups. So you get $1 back at Point of Sale without having to pay the $1 to download the coupon during this promotion.
I still don’t get how it works. “So you get $1 back at Point of Sale” so if the offer is to get the product for $60, I’ll pay $59 to the merchant at time of purchase – so I’m a $1 up.
It’s not worded very well, but from other sections of your website I assume how it works is I download any coupons I want using pre purchased COUPON POINTS (worth $1 each) and when I redeem the voucher with the merchant my DiscountOn account will be reduced by 1 point. During your sign on promotion my account will be given 10 coupon points. So it works a bit like the old $2 deals site where you pay very little to be entitled to the offer, which is now dealfree.com.au. So do the coupons end up costing me $1 to download or the $1 is refunded by paying the merchant $1 less (as this is how it reads) so I still don’t get why the first 10 are free. If we do pay $1 to download the coupon but then pay the merchant $1 less, why not just have the coupons free and pay the merchant the asking price?
s still doesn't clarify how it works.
I'll try to break it down as simple as possible. It is completely free for Merchants to list their deals and it is self serve, the deals go live after being checked. The site makes it revenue to pay for running costs in the long term by charging $1 (1 Coupon Point) to download any coupon on the site. The $1 is than discounted at Point of Sale by the merchant that gets paid directly by the customer without having to wait to get paid or miss out on unused coupons like other sites. During the Promotional period, all new signups get 10 free coupon points that give you any 10 coupon downloads for free that are worth a real value of $10 in actual $ amount. Hope I have explained it ok? It is actually quite simple but hard to explain sometimes. :)
Thanks, yes I think that does clarify it. So after the 10 free downloads have been used it will cost us $1 to download any coupon, which then gets refunded (discounted) at the time it is presented to the merchant. So we effectively pay nothing if we download and use the coupon but are out of pocket $1 if we don't use it and your income only comes from any downloaded but unused coupons.
Almost there. :) If the coupon is not honoured for any reason, you get your coupon point returned to use on any other deal so you never even lose $1 if a deal is not honoured. The site keeps the $1 on each coupon and the merchant returns the $1 back to the customer which effectively makes it free for the customer. Takes the risk out of it for customers and free for Merchants.
WOW, goodnight Scoupon, Living Social, GrabOne, Spreets, OurDeal, Ouffer and especially GroupOn and all the rest. Have been a coupon junkie from day 1 but each of you have gotten more and more difficult to deal with when issues arise and I have therefore purchased less and less. I can see this new site not only stealing all the others advertisers but a whole new market from companies that might only have a niche clientele but wouldn’t have been able to afford to advertise a deal anywhere else. If this site can continue to offer deals just as good or better then you’ve won me over. Even if things go wrong on this site, I'm not too bothered if I do end up loosing out on $1, but looks like you shouldn't.
Why are you guys doing fake deals ? I saw a "deal" on your website a day or so ago where it was $15 off $30 video conversion if you buy one of your $1 coupons. The problem is the website only charged $15 for the video conversion. So your selling coupons for a discount that doesn't exist.
Do not buy from this company, I received the unit after many emails and lies like " I have to send it away to fit the 1GB drive" or "we change the drive here" or "sent us the wrong ones with the wrong drives" I get it and the manual is poor with no instructions, its learn by error, it died within a week and no back up from retailer even before it broke down… do not trust this seller under any circumstances.
DiscountOn isn't the seller, are you not referring to a particular coupon you downloaded then redeemed with a merchant? If so, which merchant.
from what i can see discountone doesn't sell anything other than the vouchers. You can't really blame them for the quality of the product you got via the coupon.
Are you suggesting DiscountOn is a sister site of Ozbargain?
