Do you use LivingSocial Plus?

Mar 21, 2012 2:25 PM

I'm thinking of joining LivingSocial Plus - it seems like it will benefit me in the long-run - and if I buy just $20 worth of deals a month (which so far I have done on my own) it pays for itself. Does anyone have a take on this? Opinions? Caveats? Emptors? ;)

I have it. It's my understanding that I pay $20 a month for $25 worth of credit, and $20 of that rolls over if I don't spend it. So I don't lose anything by being a member on months when I don't buy stuff, and I gain $5 when I do. Plus, you can request deals that you missed and they will try to get them for you. I didn't see any downside to it. The only thing I don;t like about it is when I go to look at the deal, it doesn't show me the price, it says "Free with your Living Social Deal Bucks", so I can't easily tell if it's a good value. It isn't too hard to figure out the price, but I would rather they listed the price, and then put my credit amount in a different spot.

Definitely depends on what they have for your area. Around where I live its not worth it as the deals are almost exclusively focused on women with a lot of free time for spas.

@moondrake: Groupon does the same thing, when you have a credit on your account. To get around it I either don't log in (Living Social) or use a secondary account (Groupon), so then I get to see the price of the deal.

I have purchased several Living Social deals and I even purchase them for the cities that I am visiting. I have never had any troubles with any of my Living Social deals but I do not buy them often enough to subscribe to LS+.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
