Entertainment: Coupons & Deals

I have been benefiting from the entertainment coupon books and app , in multiple states, for 2 decades. I have saved thousands, with big savings coming from hotel accommodations. Plus , I’ve benefited deliciously from discovering establishments I may not have otherwised patronized. I also take advantage of purchasing additional books as gifts and receiving the multi book discounts along with free shipping to multiple addresses. It’s a total win !! I really love the mid year app adds with new establishments being added. Looking forward to many more years of savings. Kaching!!!

I have been buying the Entertainment Book for Lancaster County for several years for me and my Daughters. This year my Daughter bought me the book what a waste of money, very few coupons for Lancaster and surrounding areas. I usually look before I buy. I just assumed when I told her to get me one she looked st it and didn’t she was disappointed also. Didn’t use one coupon. Several coupons in the book are for fast food and restaurants in our area but aren’t good in Lancaster. You better get More for Lancaster in your Book or you’ll lose a lot of business. If they had minus 1 that’s what you would get. My daughter did not apparently review the book and put the order in for me with hers. After she gave it to me we both looked st the book and neither of us thought the book was useless for our area. A few of the businesses are in our area but are not got in Lancaster. Obviously whoever put this together didn’t do a very good job of getting vendors in our area to participate! Totally disappointed I’ll spend my money on Local Flavors,

Day to day around unfamiliar parts of Houston, it’s a lot easier to use the app, than to try and correlate location with the book. But, in NYC and Boston, having the book was ten times better than the app. In both of those places, LOTS of places in between, and all over Florida, we soon learned to ask, going in the door! NOT A SINGLE PLACE (out of about ten) in Florida knew about the app. Some refused to consider it. Others, told the app was why we were there, honored it as written. One offered a token percentage discount. Similar experiences in NYC, NH, MA, and VT. We have long been accustomed to finding coupons in the book, and having owners say they were not authorized or that the contract had expired. One place, close to home had coupons in the book for three (3) years after putting a sign on the door, stating that entertainment coupons were no longer accepted. Another place — CLOSED, gone, and replaced by a completely different establishment— continued to show up in the book for at least two years I haven’t checked the latest book. So, when it works, the app is nice. When it doesn’t work, it still saves money once in a while. But it is such a hassle we’ve almost stopped using it. Currently in NYC again, and in three days only tried to bother with it once. The place had closed.

Wow.....I used to get these entertainment books every year back in the 90s when living in Cleveland, OH. I remember the book being FILLED with dozen of local fine dining choices. It was a great way to discover new restaurants. After many moves and a long hiatus, I purchased Entertainment books along with the digital access for the Tampa and Sarasota areas. WHAT A LETDOWN! The offers on this app show nothing more than mostly national chain offers with only a small sprinkling of Fine Dining and local merchant offers now! Obviously, Entertainment is not putting much effort into getting local offers (at least in these areas). So Disappointed in your product! I had considered getting more books as gifts this Holiday season, but your team lost a sale and supporter here. I’m literally dumbfounded.....

When viewing the list of offers, only about 10 merchants load at a time. To scroll down and see the next 10, you have to wait for them to load/download. This is extremely time-consuming when you are trying to get to the bottom of the alphabetical list of online merchants. In addition, after viewing an offer and returning to the list, it starts over at the top of the list. Again, you have to scroll and wait; scroll and wait; scroll and wait; etc. ad nauseum. Need to add the ability to favorite merchants or offers for quick recall later. The SaveAround app has this feature already. The offers are good, but the app experience leaves much room for improvement.
