well, he was right: $20 for $40 at Sacco's with BuyWithMe

[thespian.livejournal.com]

$20 gets you a $40 giftcard at Sacco's/Flatbread.

I am all a flutter, actually. that rocks hard. And it's buy one for yourself and as many as you want for friends. You can use it repeatedly, which is good, because they are far too reasonably priced to spend $40 in one sitting on yourself. or it'd be like, 8 games of bowling.

If you haven't been there of late, I really really REALLY recommend it. The bowling was incredibly fun, and the food was very good. We went there with a big crowd from Theatre@First, during the Festival@First, and despite the fact we had a hugeous group, they were very good with the food and customer service. I've been suggesting it to people since then, but haven't gotten back, and now I'm totally heading for them. Often.

Really, I'm surprised the BuyWithMe person was able to keep from telling us what was up. I bet he had to poke himself with a pin or something.

(yes that has my referral #)

Sacco's/Flatbreads on BuyWithMe

[mfliz16.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it! You have no idea how difficult it was to keep my lips sealed. I even kept my roommates in suspense.

Just to correct you on one thing... I'm a he not a she. ;)

If anyone has any questions about the deal, please feel free to shoot them my way. Enjoy!

I have corrected it, because yeah, you totally deserve props for that!

[oneagain.livejournal.com]

Yikes--this reminds me that I missed the groupon for yesterday at Magoun's. (Yesterday was busy...)

[thespian.livejournal.com]

this is why I post 'em; though that still doesn't help some days :-)

For those arriving late: a link to the earlier discussion.

[surrealestate.livejournal.com]

That's why I was hoping the actual BWM person would post it, so he could also solicit the feedback he wanted, but he wasn't given the chance. Ah well.

[thespian.livejournal.com]

you prolly should have told me to hold off, then, instead of relying on me seeing that comment... I had seen his excitement about the deal, but *not* seen your comment telling him to post it (I only get posts in personal journals mailed to me, not communities, so I check, but after a while I let it slide). I didn't exactly post at the strike of midnight ;-) ...it was almost 6am when I saw it.

(which isn't to say you need to go announcing 'let the official guy say something' comments constantly; but I do post most of the group buy site posts, and you know where to find me ;-) )

[mfliz16.livejournal.com]

No worries. I'll be monitoring the thread to answer any questions that arise.

If it's ok with the mods, I could also start a new thread later on to get suggestions/feedback from everyone on businesses and deals they'd like to see on our site.

from one of the mods

Yes, please do so, and you can re-introduce yourself there.

Is there a good generic name for this kind of promotion? People tend to call them 'groupons' but that's a registered trademark of just one company (and not yours).

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

Personally, I'd rather see someone in the community post the referral and potentially get a few bits of bonus credits out of it.

[miss-chance.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Except, whaaa, the site seems to be down. [503 Service Unavailable].

[thespian.livejournal.com]

wow. maybe they got overwhelmed? I know that the groupon servers had problems on the days the Redbones and Brattle Theatre offers went. maye this was that good a deal that it got crashed...

Hrrmmm

We seem to have killed the server with our enthusiasm.

cani buy more than 1?

[pch1.livejournal.com]

I see the restrictions that it is one voucher per person, but I can buy multiple voucher and hand them out as gifts. Can I buy more than one voucher for myself and use them on separate visits?

Re: cani buy more than 1?

[thespian.livejournal.com]

I don't work for them, but my answer is going to be no, since it *says* 1 voucher per person. You don't become 2 people by visiting twice. However, the voucher is getting turned into a gift card when you claim it, so you can use *that* gift card on multiple visits.

You could probably get away with it, but you would be violating the agreement that you have to click through to buy the deal, and I don't know what the legal ramifications of that are (could they void the cards? not let you buy at BuyWithMe again? I dunno).

Re: cani buy more than 1?

[mfliz16.livejournal.com]

Technically, no. But you could always buy additional vouchers as gifts for your friends. Then just make your friends pay for your food, beer, bowling and pizza.

The goal of Sacco's/Flatbreads is to introduce new customers through this promotion, so pass it along to friends and make them pick up the tab. :)

[clevernonsense.livejournal.com]

Man, I hate myself for saying it, but I finally poked my head in this place last week and it made me soo sad and missing Sacco's :(

Not to crap on the new management--I'm glad they are doing something with the space. And something decent. I'm just old and change is scary.

(I bought one!:P)
