Entertainment Books

[Princesca]

I have been, in the past, an avid user of Entertainment Books. I wait to buy them until after the first of the year, when I can usually get them at a substantial discount with free shipping.

This year, however, I have had unprecedented bad luck in getting the coupons to work. One restaurant's coupon was misprinted... a coupon that said save 20% anytime was not accepted at a lunch buffet. Another restaurant had been sold since the books were published, and the new owner wasn't accepting them. I reported them both to Entertainment, of course, but it's still annoying.

However, my Entertainment book finally paid for itself! I had to book a couple of nights at a hotel, and found a Super 8 that had good reviews. I went through the Entertainment website after logging in, and saved about $12/night on a $70 room. Ebates offers a rebate on Super 8, and I was going to use that, but it's only 1.5%. I'm glad that it popped into my head to try Entertainment.com! I think it was 20% off their best available rate, which was even better than AAA.

I'm such a savings geek.

I agree there can be some problems with the coupons at times. I call and verify any coupons I may use that are high end. In these times this may be needed more so then before.

I have learned to use all sections of the book and the website for any extra deals, as well.

Also, when you get there you pull out the coupon first to make sure it will work for you. I know some people don't like doing this; because, they think they will get less of a deal somehow.

I was going to buy the Orlando entertainment book since we are going mid Novvember, but my question is do the coupons expire the beginning of November or the end of November? I have no idea if I should get the 2011 or 2012, thanks!

The Entertainment books usually expire 11/1. So you would need the 2012 book.

I usually wait till about now. This week they're on sale for $8.99 with free shipping. Plus I went through Quick Rewards and got $3 back, so that made it only $5.99.

The free Little Caesars pizza coupon and $5 off Kroger coupons make it worth that much!

I love my entertainment book. It only takes using it one or two times to pay itself off. It is such a great way to try restaurants in my area that I couldn't normally afford.
