Is It OK to Write a Yelp Review For a Restaurant Discount?

partysugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 09:15:05 -0700

Mel's Drive-In, a restaurant chain in California, made news this week when a PR firm uncovered the diner's "virtual bribe" - or a deal for Yelpers. Here's how it works: you write a Yelp review (it can be good or bad) of the eatery, bring in a copy, and receive a 20 percent discount on your bill. I've never been into Yelp, the website that lets everyone be a restaurant critic, so I won't be participating in Mel's discount any time soon. However, if it was a restaurant I frequented or was interested in checking out, I might be persuaded to give it some online publicity. How about you?

Fab Finger Discount: Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie

Planning a Winter retreat? Then add this Spiegel Faux Fur Cuff Bootie ($99, originally $129) to your bag. You probably already have booties, but are they extra cozy? It's like a shearling jacket . . . for your feet! There is a black version as well, but I prefer tan.

Fab Finger Discount: New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirt

FabSugar — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 09:00:22 -0700

These New York & Co. Floral Pencil Skirts ($12, originally $40) totally remind me of Thakoon. In fact, the cranberry colored one reminds me of Michelle Obama's red and purple Thakoon frock. I can't decide which version I like best, they're all so pretty.

Here's why you need one (or all three): they're a modern alternative to the basic black pencil skirt, they're super inexpensive, and they're the perfect rich hues for Fall. To counterbalance the fanciness, I would wear one with a gray tee and a faux fur collar scarf. And if the length is too stuffy for you, chop it or wear it as a paperbag skirt!

Get Discount Lift Tickets at Liftopia.com

FitSugar — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 10:15:00 -0800

I love to get out on the slopes for a run down the powder and wind in my hair. What I don't love? The cost of doing so. A weekend of skiing or snowboarding can cost more than most of us are willing to pay, so most of us opt out regularly.

Liftopia, a new online marketplace where you’ll find discount lift tickets to top alpine resorts across the country, has come to the rescue. Here you can search for lift tickets to resorts nationwide (and in Canada) for discounted rates. Liftopia partners with many resorts across the nation in an effort to get people to their slopes more often. They work directly with the resorts to identify opportunities for discounts and promotions that give downhill adventurers more opportunities to ski and snowboard for less. Check it out at Liftopia.com.

Getting Busted For Driving While Talking Isn't So Bad After All

GeekSugar — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 09:00:54 -0700

If you've already received a ticket for cruising around in California with one hand on the wheel and one hand holding your phone, I have a little something to make getting that ticket seem less depressing. Aliph, the maker of the uber-stylish Jawbone headsets (a personal fave and one of my June Must Haves), is offering you a discount when you buy one of their cool headsets!

Just enter in your citation number on the Aliph website to receive a nice $20 discount - that's the amount of the ticket itself! Well, on your first offense anyway. Here's hoping that you won't get caught "cell-handed" again!
