  • RedBox

12/19/15

This is a pretty good video rental source I have ever dealt with. There used to be quite alot of freebies but haven't seen too much lately. The reviews are interesting, it seems alot of people think movies are real and should be perfect all the time. I will continue to use Redbox for movie entertainment.

  • Carnival Cruise Lines

11/10/15

My first cruise experience and it was delightful. Carnival Cruise Lines certainly came through on this one. Even though the weather was far less than great, the service and the food were better than I had predicted. At the low price of this cruise I would have spent more on a basic hotel room and would have to have settled for overpriced dining. Instead I was on a 3 year old (Carnival Breeze) cruise ship with a staff that did nothing but keep our best interest and cater to every need... Will definitely be doing, another very soon.

  • BikesDirect

8/26/15

I decided to buy a Gravity F XD road bike from Bikes Direct because the price was very attractive and it is my first serious bicycle I have purchased. Unfortunately when the package arrived I found the bike stuffed into the box with no protection except thin foam sheets. Ended up with a bent brake disk, bent spoke, and multiple scratches and gouges. Larry wouldn't even send me some touch up paint. Pretty sure I will never do business with them again. You will be much better off to buy a better quality bike from a known bike shop and cut your best deal or get it on sale. These bikes are not the best quality but it is my first and I will deal with it.

  • Windstream.net

I have written reviews about Windstream Email services before. About how slow it is, about how 1000's of spam messages get through, even though they have a so called spam center that does absolutely nothing to block spam. I've mentioned the ridiculously high prices, and now comes the new format. Getting email was fairly simple but now navigation is difficult and it is cluttered by constant ads! ADS! I'm sick of ads! On the right, on the left, on the bottom, and yes in the middle of your messages! Do yourself a favor. If you can get a different provider than Windstream do it. Spectrum is available in the area and has affordable packages.

Reverb has a lot of nice stuff lot of it is overpriced shipping usually knocks it out of a good value

  • Tripadvisor

3/30/16

I have used this website to get an accurate review for many vacation spots. The advice and reviews always come in handy and have proven to be very useful. I have also seen hotels improve their services because they want to keep a high rating with trip advisors because they know it will get them more business.

  • First Watch

3/29/16

I was interested in trying this restaurant, but after visiting the website they offered very little information on what they offer and no pricing information!? Unfortunately I will not be going there too soon.

  • Spirit

12/19/15

Every time I fly on spirit it's an adventure. Flight times are rarely on time leaving me stuck in an airport with nothing to do for hours. The last flight was delayed 5 hours. As a nice gesture they did send a $50.00 credit that expires in 60 days! Doubt that will ever get used. I also signed up for their credit card luring me in with 15,000 miles for travel. After adding miles through all my travels I wanted to use them but the total wasn't enough for an 1,100 mile trip, their solution: buy more miles plus *add'l cash*! More than the original price! Extremely a no frills airline with pay for everything agenda. Search well before you fly Spirit. Oh yeah uncomfortable seating, really crammed it there.

  • Touchtunes

2/23/24

I used to use the Touchtunes mobile app all the time but now the prices are ridiculous! There is no way they can justify the cost of playing a song off the internet for a charge of $1-$2.00 and sometimes more, even after paying royalty fees. It's a shame you buy credits online, no middleman and no cash retrieval yet are gouged for convenience. Done!

  • Great Clips

8/9/23

Have been going to Great Clips for a few years now and have to say the online check in is the best idea the Coiffeur has come up with. It truly saves me alot of time even though there is sometimes a short wait to be seated I can usually be in and out lickety split.

  • GasBuddy

8/9/23

I used to be a huge fan of Gas Buddy but lately the discounts have dwindled down to a few cents per gallon and many of the prices you see in you search are not the price at the pumps. That defeats the purpose of the entire app.

Do not spend the extra money for undercarriage wash. It does not do anything for the undercarriage of your vehicle. Doesn't even get it wet.

  • Amazonchase

2/1/23

As far as a credit card goes this is pretty average. They give you points on purchases which do add up and you get a nice little discount after awhile, but if you have a problem, like with a not so simple return, forget about it. Try to find the customer service phone number. I should have saved it and put it on this review to save everyone all the grief. Then get ready to be scuttling between your Amazon acct.and Chase account waiting to see if you got the return accepted and the credit you deserve.

Verified purchase

I have used this quite a bit, some places won't honor the price but alot do. It seems like pharmacies don't like the program. Definitely show them the codes before they ring it up or it will cause a mess having to redo the entire prescription entry all over again. Some places will give it to you at their cost if they can't sell it for a loss.

  • PayPal

1/31/23

What started out to be a convenient way to purchase stuff on that e*** site turned out to be a real pain in the a**. Apparently multiple accounts can be tied to this service that they use to pay for your purchase. Very carefully watch where the money is coming from and doublecheck to make sure there are no duplicate charges. Also customer service can be very hard to reach. Apparently some sites that force you to use Paypal may be linked to a scam outfit running rampant on the online marketplace. Beware of the too good to be true deals, and do some homework on sellers before purchasing.

I had to retrieve my password and this is quite possibly the hardest website to do this it actually gave me a headache. Would not recommend anyone going through this.

  • BBQGrillMats

8/10/16

These are the grill mats being sold by Chef Caron and so far they have worked well. I have only used them a handful of times but they do work well on the grill, as well as in the oven. They especially work well with fish and vegetables, even grilled leftover pizza which you must try. I am worried about using them at high setting on the grill because I think they may burn up after extended cooking times. Clean up is a breeze and they hold their shape well except for some wrinkles. With 2 per pack I'm sure they will last a long time.

  • AllRecipes

12/19/15

Update: This site has become tooo commercialized. Way too many ads and the competition has gotten much better. I have been using other sites that have far less traffic and the recipes are very creative and delicious.
Original: Allrecipes can turn you into the best cook on the block with thousands of recipes from drinks to main dishes and everything in between. So many to choose from and always a recipe for what you have a hankering for. Take my word, you will be surprised at what you can do with the help of this website.

  • Groupon

12/19/15

I have been using Groupon for quite a few years. Mostly for dining but have bought other goods too. For the most part they have great customer service if you have a problem with one of the merchants. The deals are pretty good but with the dining I have noticed the value is slipping. It used to be 50% off and that amount is getting shaved down a little bit. Most are now packaged as dinner for two which can be a little hard if your single. As for the merchandise, just know what you are buying and be price conscious.

  • LivingSocial

I didn't care for Living Socials promotions, they seemed to have to many restrictions and the discounts weren't that good.
