Living Social: $15 for $30 at Lyndell's

[thespian.livejournal.com]

If you don't know Lyndell's, you should. Especially their almond meringues if you can eat almonds. Dear lord those are good. I still have a $50 voucher with them, and I'm seriously considering going in and blowing the entire thing on meringues. They are over at the corner of Willow and Broadway (there's a North End location, too, but I've never been because well, I can walk to the Somerville one).

Living Social has a deal where, if 3 people buy off your link, you get the deal for free. In the past when this has happened, I've spent the day changing the URL to the deal - once mine is free, I change the link so that the next person up gets theirs free, and we daisy chain through the community with a dozen or so people all getting things for free. I will be out until about 7pm this evening, though, so here's my link:

BALEET!: please click through on one of the entries in the comments to help a DSLJer out!

I encourage people to post yours below (and don't forget to mark if your deal goes free so others can get it free, too!

If you have never bought from Living Social before, though: follow this link. You will get $5 off your first purchase, making this $10 to get $30 of Lyndell's Goodies.

yeah. I actually think the $50 one is going to be used to just randomly get a totally over the top cake to bring to something *completely casual* And I expect that they didn't sell as many of them as the did of the $10 for $20 one, so they seem to have scaled it down.

Mind you, I know some friends bought that $50 on and *lavishly* furnished their holiday parties with it ;_)

Used your deal. Here's my link

Thanks for that heads up! I will sometimes get cupcakes for parties, so this will be very useful! Here's my link:

I recommend the little heart-shaped Linzer cookies they've got for Valentine's Day. Yum!

The "never bought from" link... ?

The "never bought from" link takes me to a page for Washington DC, with no indication of an additional discount.
Anyone else having a different experience? What am I supposed to see?

hrm. it takes me to a Boston one, but otherwise you are correct. That is disconcerting.

go here: http://deals.livingsocial.com/deals

if it doesn't take you to boston, click 'other cities' and select boston.

then follow the link to 'never bought before, above'. it should show you as being in Boston. enter your email address, and it will mail you today's deal with a link to it.

Sadly, because I'm already a user of the site, I don't get a referral code. If, when you go to purchase the item, it doesn't give you the $5 off, I'd suggest emailing them and saying, 'I followed https://deals.livingsocial.com/redeem/335590-thespi?ref=lnk and it is not giving me the $5 for a new user'. Their support is usually quite good.

I'm going to write them about that landing page, though, because you are right, it is confusing as heck. If anyone else has had problems, let me know.

Cool. Now it takes me to Boston, at least. :-)
Thanks. That was confusing.
I've signed up. And bought. We'll see what happens with the $5

In any case, if you want to order through my link once everyone else is getting theirs for free...

I just sent them an email explaining the 4 or 5 things that are completely wrong with their referral process. You're supposed to get the credit on your first purchase, so I'd like to straighten this out before they charge you. What was the email address you used to sign up with them under? you can email me at thespian at sleepingcat dot com and I'll send them an addendum to the last mail.

They have always been very good about customer service in the past; I once wrote them after they offered a link to a very offensive t-shirt site (they sold shirts that said things like 'Fat Girls are Fun - Until your Friends Find Out'), and they were extremely contrite, and gave me some site credit, and more importantly, they promised they'd do a better job of watching sites for offensive content in the future, and they have.

I just bought in! Here's my link:

This is still going, btw, and good through Thursday night it looks like, so if anyone hasn't gotten a voucher and wants one, you still can!

Here's my link, in case there are more people buying:
https://deals.livingsocial.com/deals/566?ref=conf-jp&rpi=55405

It would be great if people above would edit or add a comment saying they've received their free offer if they indeed have (so people will know whose links to still use).
