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?
