Discount Dining Coupons 1/2 Price Question
Just saw that Eastern Standard is on the list starting today for 1/2 price dining coupons from www.wrko.com -Discount Depot. You can buy a $50 coupon for $25 plus s&h. Has anyone use these coupons before?I see that Aura is on the available list and that Sonsie is upcoming. Is this a good deal-any drawbacks?

I picked up my 2 certificates for Eastern Standard at the Post Office today. They are the exact same ones issued by the restaurant itself and mine look perfect. The 2 came in a folded enclosure, also from Eastern Standard. (I gave my daughter $100 credit there for Christmas and ordered it directly from the restaurant; they sent exact same thing.) The offer on the WRKO site did say this offer could not be used for drinks, but the gift card says on the back that it is redeemable for food, beverage and gratuity. We'll see what happens when we use them, but we always enjoy ourselves there and will use these cards with pleasure. I just wish I had ordered a couple more.

I ordered a gift certificate for Prezza and never received it - it's been three weeks now. I sent Media WebConnect an email about it and still heard nothing. I'm going to have to dispute the charge with my credit card company at this point. It's disappointing, especially as I saw the ES listing on the web when I went to find the contact information....

I ws able to buy 2 $50.00 certificates for Prezza on the WEEI page (sister station to WRKO I think) They arrived promptly and look like regular gift certificates with no particualr limitations noted. There ws a $5.00 handling charge added but still $100.00 for 55.00 was still a terrific bargain.

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered 2 with no problem except I had to type awfully fast as they have a time limit set for the order. I made a mistake typing, and was able to correct it with no problem, so maybe the ticking clock is not really working....The coupons are good until 2016 and from the looks of things, Eastern Standard should be around for a long time. We will definitely use them before they expire...thanks!

re: mvi
So we ordered the Eastern Standard one. Came in the mail yesterday. I was shocked that the card looked scratched, worn on the back and really in terrible shape. No way could you give it to someone as a gift. It looks like it's been hanging around someone's wallet and then kicked around the floor awhile. I'm hoping it is legit and works. Anyone else get theirs? I don't think this is a problem stemming from ES, just to clarify. I do think it's a problem with these folks: http://bostonenter.mediawebconnect.co...

Very interesting deal. anyone know how long these offers have been running?? I do have my suspicions though.. It is a good way for a restaurant to gain immediate capital in this time of need, and I wonder if the restaurants signing up for this deal are the most desperate. The key thing to remember is that the there are no refunds if the restaurant closes... Be careful what restaurants you choose to buy the coupons from, because they may be in serious danger of closing. However I wouldn't expect a place like Eastern Standard to be in that danger category, which is why i went ahead and bought one... but then again who knowsss

That is as we say "a wicked bargain."
At ES the coupon can't be used for booze.

We acquired gift certificates just as you described and used them this past weekend at KO Prime. It couldn't have worked better. We had a party of eight and we used three certificates. (I had called in advance to check that this was allowable.) As with most restaurants they added the gratuity automatically. However, the calculated it on the discounted value, so we bumped it up for the waiter to the full value. To top it off, we each got an additional $20 coupon if we return in March.
