FAQ Man does accounting in Cafe

If I’m paying for my employees (or my parents) membership and they buy something using the app, do I pay for that or do they?

Excellent question. All you’re paying for is the membership. Everything they buy they pay for. It’s similar to giving somebody a membership card to Costco or Sam’s Club. The membership gets them in the door and gives them access to savings. When they buy something, they buy with their own money.

(The membership to Savvy Perks is significantly less though than a membership to Costco or Sam’s and good at thousands of retailers and service providers.)

Yes, some do allow you to purchase gift cards at their establishment with your membership perks, and some specifically say you cannot.

The key is to read the instructions connected with each vendor for the best user experience. (And they are all on the app under each deal. SUPER EASY to find.

Under what circumstances can you kick me out of the program?

As long as your payment is current and you behave there is no need to kick you out of the program. You are encouraged to be polite and civil at all establishments but Savvy Perks does not police your behavior. Every vendor has the right to kick you out of their establishment – but they have that right already. Just be cool and there is no need to worry.

FAQ Angry Woman Has Customer Service PRoblem

What do I do if I have a customer service problem at one of the vendors offering savings, perks, and discounts?

Each offer is connected to a Yelp review. So after you have used your Savvy Perks membership, you can leave a rating and review for that vendor.

The vendors offering discounts and savings are similar to you and me in that they are paying for advertising and they are trying to bring new business in the door. Hopefully, they will fight for your business by providing outstanding customer service that makes you WANT to come back. (And leave them a positive rating and review.)

And just like you and me, every vendor is a business owner or has a customer service department. If you have a problem, try to resolve it just like you would under any other situation. Usually on the spot at the point of sale is the best way to resolve problems, get help or ask for a refund.

FAQ 18 years or older

Do You Have to Be a Certain Age to Join?

They can add any information they have for any particular vendor/merchant they are interested in and submit it to our company. We have a team who reaches out to vendors submitted to see if they would like to join our program and provide a discount.”

Groupon vs. Savvy Perks

What is the difference between Savvy Perks and Groupon?

Groupon is very similar to Savvy Perks in that it provides deals and discounts from a wide variety of restaurants, retailers, services, and adventures.

That’s about where the similarities stop.

GROUPON

  • With Groupon, you sign up free and every day you get an email with a “deal of the day”.
  • You usually have 24-48 hours to pounce on the deal. And you must purchase it at that time.
  • The deal you buy is usually good for up to 6 months.
  • Groupon Deals are often limited to 1 per customer.
  • The catch is that you must archive the coupon you’ve purchased so you can redeem it later.

I’ve bought Groupon deals but then forgot to bring the coupon with me or it expired before I had the chance to use it.

SAVVY PERKS

  • With Savvy Perks, you pay a one-time joining fee of $39.95 and a monthly membership of $6.99. It’s a premiere membership giving you employee pricing at thousands of retailers.
  • There is no pouncing on deals. The deals are available to you at any time.
  • You only pay for a service or product when you use it.
  • Most Savvy Perks Deals are unlimited use – meaning you can redeem a coupon at a vendor today and redeem another one tomorrow and another the following day.
  • The coupons can be printed – but the easiest way to redeem a coupon is to pull it up on your phone at the time of checkout. There is no archiving or storing coupons.

While it’s true both discount programs save you money, I like Savvy Perks best because there is no impulse buying to “get the deal.” And I don’t have to remember if or where I’ve stored the coupon before it expires.
