It's Canada Day on Cobone!

Happy Canada Day (July 1)!

I'm not in (nor from) Canada but was able to celebrate with Cobone's Tim Horton's deals.

Deal 1: 10 AED or $2.70

Deal 2: 9 AED or $ 2.45

I bought 3 of deal 1 and 2 of deal 2 (total of 5 vouchers) and used 3 of it yesterday at Tim Horton's Diera City Center, Dubai. 

No hassle except for they run out of cream for the iced beverages. Still it was a great bargain (more than 50% off).

Hurry offer is until today (July 7) but the voucher can still be used for 2 (or 3) more months. And they have Deal 3 and 4 to choose from.

I saw this Cobone deal but never got around purchasing one. With my recent positive experiences with group buying sites in the Philippines, I decided to try it here in Dubai too. 

Several options to play such as Credit or Debit Cards, Paypal, Cash on Delivery, etc. Of course I chose PP.

I plan to bring my girlfriends so I bought 3 vouchers. I'll definitely blog about it once we used the voucher.

One thing I can complain is their referral system, I referred a friend but never got the supposed to be reward.  

Group Buying: Deal or No Deal?

I am aware of group buying sites but never really took much interest into it. That is until recently. I had couple of friends, one in Philippines and another here in Dubai whom shared good deals that they got through those sites.

So I registered in a few like Groupon and Cobone here in Dubai. I bought one Groupon voucher for an Indian restaurant, although the food was great I didn't like the initial discussion with the restaurant staff. He was insisting that the voucher worth 100 AED was to be consumed by one person. We were 3 pax and even a 4th person can still share with the food we later ordered. I couldn't blame Groupon for the not so good experience, maybe the restaurant staff was just ignorant of the deal itself (I convinced myself that's the case). Still that was my first and last experience as of date. 

But by next week, my friend got us another deal this time from Cobone and will be sharing our yatch experience later on.

Now I am checking deals offered in the Philippines for my coming vacation this April. Alas, I found a lot of sites offering various deals from food, travel, relaxation, stuffs, etc. I also read negative feedback on some.

So which is a good deal and a bad deal?
