I bought the 2011 book in June for $5, not realizing I was signing up for an annual membership. That’s fine. However, there was no email notice I was getting my 2012 book and when I got it, I found out I had 30 days to return it so I wasn’t too concerned. Boy, was I wrong. It takes 10-14 days for the book to come to me and another 10-14 days to get back to Entertainment. However, the 30 days start the day they ship the book. So, at best, you have 10 days to return or, at worst, you have to return it the day you receive it. Also, though you can do just about anything on their web site regarding your account, this annual membership status is not shown and therefore I have no way to verify that they really cancelled it.
I don’t know why companies think they can get away with such practices. They got my $30 but they will never receive another penny from me. That’s my “annual promise” to them. And, yes, I certainly do feel ripped off.

The Entertainment book ran a deal where they were offering the 08 version for free….well they hooked people by billing them for the 09 version even though people checked the online order box saying that they didn’t want the 09 automatically billed. I and numerous others have been scammed by them.

I’ve been getting this book for a few years and I can definitely say you wind up saving a ton. We can pretty much find coupons for most of the places we want to go and they’re all offer great deals.

Are you using Firefox with Adblocker? That might explain not seeing the banner, but it sounds like you’ve already got one. But now you can get a 2008 book and they’ll throw in a 2007 for free.

I dont see any banners or links, but I can def. agree that the entertainment books are very much worth it. A lot of the stuff is buy 1 get 1 free so if you eat by yourself and dont like left overs, it might not be worth it, but for instance a few years ago they had a buy 1 get 1 free ultimate cheeseburger at jack in the box so i got them and saved one of them for dinner.

Theres also discounts for movie tickets and sporting events, amusement parks–all sorts of stuff.

You make your money back in no time, and i dont think they are that expensive to begin with.
