Black Friday sales are on now, so prices are competitive everywhere. A few items are less elsewhere or the same as Perkspot (watch for shipping costs), but there are deals here no one can beat - example 15% off the best price I can find anywhere for a Ninja smart doublestack xl. I have found that the deals through Perkspot may not be there tomorrow, so pay attention to the end dates for both the Perkspot deal and the product website. I’m loving Perkspot!

They lure you with the promise of saving a few bucks and I mean that literally. If you book a hotel make sure that it’s the one you want and it’s on the days you want, because you’re NOT getting your money back and they can’t change the reservation in ANY way. Then when you call they tell you to call someone else and they tell you to call someone else and so you get the picture. So I’ve learned a $300 lesson. I paid $300 for a room that I did not stay in and saved $8 and some change booking. I work hard for my money and for some reason it’s legal to trap hard working people into these scams just because they wanted to save a “few dollars” and they don’t care. Never will I ever use this again. I feel as though I was robbed in front of a crowd. From here on out I’ll pay full price with the option to change on my own terms.

I’ve found that some items on with this service are more expensive than just buying them directly from the retailer. Example: I checked out the EPP website for buying a new iPhone. I checked out several items and most were the same price as you would find directly from the Apple website, and with some items, they were actually more expensive than buying directly from the Apple website. I’ve used the EPP from a previous employer and there was a savings of 10-20% on most if not all items, so I know there should actually be a savings with this EPP website. Beware of anything you purchase with this service, and check the retailer first before making any purchase here.

I’ve always love using PerkSpot because it gives me all kinds of deals and discounts. Now that it has an app it’s great for buying things asap if you think about it on the go. Plus it also features the weekly or best deals for you that makes it easier not to miss something good!
