Some deals. Frustrating App

Have to log in all the time. Awkward navigation. App not updated. Flaky. Time consuming. Deals at places that have closed years ago (one was my customer). Better than Restaurant.com

Great App but...

Great app but there is no delete button for used or expired deals, so your account can seem to be one long list but only a few are valid if you’ve used a bunch.

Not a good experience so far

I tried you use a coupon from this app earlier tonight. Apparently, it had been removed/invalidated by the app/site and was no longer being honored by the restaurant. The problem is that I didn’t know my coupon wasn’t good anymore until I was at the restaurant and standing at the register. It was frustrating and embarrassing to be standing there hitting the “view on phone” button over and over while repeatedly getting an error message. Why wouldn’t the coupon be removed from my app BEFORE I try to use it? Why wasn’t I aware the coupon wouldn’t be accepted until I was standing at the register? This is the second time I had a problem with the app. The first time, my brother and I went to a restaurant and the coupon said it needed to be printed so my brother decided he would print it before he left his house. He hit the print button, but the coupon didn’t print. He tried again but it wouldn’t let him because it said it already printed. Luckily, I had the same coupon on the dining advantage app on my phone and I was able to use mine. This one successful attempt is why I gave it two stars.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to learn of your concern. If time is allowed to pass between the acquisition of an offer and the attempted usage, there is a possibility that the merchant might have made updates or wholesale changes to their offer that would impact the accessibility of their former discount. Fundamentally, Dining Advantage is a program that operates at its finest when redemption and purchase are near in time. We would ask that you visit the www.diningadvantage.com website and use the 'Contact Us' link in the footer to send us a message. Please be sure to include the email address used when the code was registered, and the merchant's offer in question. We would like to determine what happened and take whatever steps are necessary to ensure that your situation is made right.

Amazing!!

This app is working very well for me. I got 20 dollars from a T-Mobile Tuesday promotion, and I already used two coupons. I see ppl complaining but for me worked greatly!!! Thank you guys, I’m saving money and eating well!!! Love this app, I’m looking forward to get more and more coupons

If I could give this a zero I would.

Every time I open the app I have to log in. Before we mention credit card rules and requiring logging out of sessions I understand that. What I don’t understand is the fact that every banking, credit card, and other financial site or app that I use recognizes TouchID and FaceID technologies that simplify the login process once activated for an app. Technologies accepted as secure by the financial industry apparently do no offer enough security for this developer.

Scam

Found out this was a complete scam we won these advantage dining gift cards to find out they are coupons which most restaurants we gone to have never heard of this app or never agreed on placing coupons with dining advantage and don’t honor the coupons you pay for! Dont waste your time !

Mixed review

I love Dining Advantage, but the website and app both have the same issues. No matter how many times I add my location, it says “no results for Troy Michigan “. I’m nowhere near Troy Michigan. I am in the far south suburbs of Chicago. Once in a while the website or app will work properly but not often enough to use regularly. No other apps on my phone have location issues. Please fix this.

Waste of Money

There are hardly any coupons for my area. I have $45 credit and nothing to spend it on. Biggest waste of money I’ve ever unfortunately participated in. I found one offer I could use but guess what, even though it’s your money to spend you can only use that offer once. To top it all off, you’re paying for coupons! You can get all of these same coupons for FREE with a simple google search. I’ll give it to them though, they really know how to con people into their scam with no refunds. I will not recommend this to anyone, I do the opposite actually and let them know how bad it is.

Just awful

If I could leave zero stars I would. I get this card as as one of the little gifts after winning a raffle at the local fair, check out the website and then read the reviews on it here, saying businesses are unaware of the deals this dining advantage offers on the website, so JUST TO BE SAFE, I call the restaurant I planned on using this for, just for them to tell me they have no idea what I’m talking about.

Bad business and it makes the local fair look bad as well.

Would 100% never recommend.

What’s the point of this?

I must say that this is the dumbest app/program ever. Why pay for coupons you can get out of the newspaper and in the mail? I got $100 gift card from this business thinking I would have $100 dollars. No, instead I got this dumb thing that allows me to buy coupons. And the selection is terrible. I guess you can start a business doing anything these days. Just terrible. If you read this review before you download, don’t download. I download this app just to leave this review. And if you download then read this review, delete the app. DELETE THIS TERRIBLE APP. Do not support this trash
