Tips and Tricks in buying Metrodeal, Ensogo, Beeeconomic, Ebay Kuponan, Tcat, Deal Grocer Voucher Deals

Thursday, March 13, 2014
Here is a list of some tips and tricks before and after buying voucher deals from Metrodeal, Ensogo, Beeeconomic, Ebay Kuponan, Tcat, Deal Grocer and the likes:

1. RESEARCH. If you have reached this blog before buying a voucher deal from say, Metrodeal then you're in for a good start.
  • Check the real price of the "deal". There really is a possibility that the discount that is being offered is NOT really a discount. I have found a travel deal before in Metrodeal, (sorry but I cannot remember which) where the discounted deal is not really discounted. Upon checking the resort's website, I saw that the voucher deal price posted is the same as the regular price!!! Okay, fine, it was being offered by a travel company and not the resort itself. But still! When you buy vouchers, they have a lot of limitations. They have deadlines, blocked out dates, inferior services, etc. So if you find out that you can buy the same service or product directly from the vendor, then buy from them! It is always better that way.
  • Check if the services or products being offered on the deal is really good. Actually, I have already seen a lot of products in Metrodeal, Ensogo, and Beeconomic that you can buy for less in Sulit or AyosDito. Research! Research! Don't be click-happy! Stop the impulse! Compare the prices first. Check the brand. Is it trustworthy? Think if the product being offered would last. Oh and yeah, do you really need it?
  • Look for reviews such as this blog. Look for feedback in forums. Information is all over the internet. Make use of it!
2. LIMIT PURCHASING VOUCHER DEALS! We have all done it or perhaps you are on the verge of doing it. I am also guilty of buying several vouchers that in the end I was not able to use. I don't think I am the only one who has done it. I don't think I will be the last one. If you are reading this then let it be a warning. If you are thinking that the deal may only happen just this one time so you have to buy dozens of them. Well no! There is a very high probability that that voucher deal that you want to buy will be back or even extend for a long period of time. Voucher deals or bulk buying has been a big success in the country. Most vendors who have partnered with Metrodeal, Ensogo, Tcat, etc. found that they really earn a lot and achieve awesome marketing through these voucher deals. That being said, they really come back and sign up their products / services again! So do you think you really have to buy those 10 vouchers for nail art right now? Think again.

3. RESERVE. So you have already bought that travel deal. Now what? Make your reservations early on. Perhaps it will still be 6 months before your Ensogo travel voucher expires but that does not mean you have all the time in the world to make your reservation. No! Do it right after purchasing the voucher! ASAP! Imagine how many people are buying those voucher deals. Now think how many days are in a year. How many rooms are there in the hotel / resort? Make your reservation as soon as you have your vouchers purchased to ensure that you get to pick your preferred travel days.

4. MAKE USE OF THAT PLANNER. Or notepad. Or that calendar hanging in your wall. Or the calendar in Outlook. Or the calendar or To Do List on your phone. Vouchers have expiration. Everyone knows it. Everyone forgets it. I just found out the other week that Ensogo sends out email warnings that I have vouchers that are about to expire. That feature, I really like! Not all have this feature though. Metrodeal, as far as I know, still does not have it. So just to make sure that the money you spend purchasing those vouchers deals does not get wasted, remember when all of them are going to expire. Note on your To Do List when are you supposed to have that hair rebond or massage. Remember that most of the times, if you do not arrive on your reserved date, your vouchers will be automatically forfeited. So plan ahead, be ahead!

5. SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE! Please leave me some comments below or in my other posts about your voucher purchases! I would really like to know them as a fellow deal buying addict. A lot of people will benefit if you will let them know how good or how bad are the services or products of a specific vendor in Metrodeal, Ensogo, Tcat, Kuponan, Deal Grocer, etc!

IPL + Underarm Whitening by Pan Pacific Aesthetic - TCAT voucher

IPL + Underarm Whitening by Pan Pacific Aesthetic Review

After hearing from my office colleague that IPL hair removal is effective, I have decided to try it for myself. I bought three vouchers of IPL underarm hair removal plus whitening treatment in TCAT and... I am glad I did.

Pan Pacific Aesthetic is located in Medical Plaza Ortigas. It is just at the back of Megamall, and very near Ridgemont Hotel.

I called Pan Pacific first to have my first IPL treatment scheduled. After having problems with Skin Central and Hair to Go Salon of not having my phone calls answered, I was gladly surprised that I did not even receive a busy tone! The reservation went smoothly. The girl who answered even gave out Pan Pacific Aesthetic's office hours.

The IPL treatment was fast enough. They gave 5 shots for each underarm and it only took like 5mins max. With the whitening treatment, it's a total of 30 mins. They spread a cream on my underarms and waited for 15mins to remove it. Make sure to give at least 45mins for your IPL appointment just in case you have other plans afterwards. Also, before I forget, they also suggested not to wash your underarm for that day.

The Pan Pacific Aesthetic staff is awesome. I have no complaints whatsoever that I could think of with regards to their service.

First, I thought that the IPL treatment was not effective at all. The underarm hair didn't fall off. My friend told me that on the other salon she went to, they gave her 7 shots for each underarm. However, when I arrived home I noticed that some of the hair did fall off! It was indeed effective.

Now, I am done with my third IPL treatment with Pan Pacific and I am searching for similar deals! IPL treatment does not really make the hair permanently gone but it does reduce the hair growth up to the point that it is nearly invisible.

5 out 5 for this.

Spanish Peel Treatment with Whitening Mask at Skin Central - Ebay Kuponan voucher

Tuesday, May 8, 2012
I bought a Spanish Peel Treatment with Whitening Mask (Face or Underarm) at Skin Central voucher in Ebay Kuponan. It costed me PHP299 each.

Wrong move. I bought three of the treatment thinking that it would be nice to have it done once a month. Wrong decision.

Like most treatments, you would have to first call. That is what I did. I called Skin Central several times a day for like almost a week. Nobody answers the phone. Since it was near my office, I dropped by to personally make the reservation in St. Francis Square. That worked.

The treatment day came... and it was disappointing. I arrived 5 minutes before the treatment. I was told to wait and to sit down in their plushy chairs. After an hour of reading old and torn magazines, I still wasn't called. Still being nice, I told the woman in the counter that I will just come back to have my lunch. My schedule was at 11 and I was starving with the wait so it kinda ruined my schedule.

I came back, and then the woman in the counter smiled at me and said I should be next soon. Now, what got me irritated was that there was this woman with a toy dog in a bag, all dressed up, doing short talk with the employees, waiting for her turn, too. I arrived approximately 30 mins earlier than she did yet they assisted her first. She left after her treatment, I was still there waiting for my turn. I thought at that time that I should have come there wearing a suit instead of my comfy tank top and jeans.

Finally, my turn came. The employees sounded like they were even pointing at each other as to who is going to do the treatment. I started to wonder that I may look like a penniless person to them or something.The Spanish peel treatment was awful. It hurt like hell. It felt like my skin was burning but at that time, I thought that this may be okay and would be better in a minute since the girl was dabbing like a wet cloth in my face.

Three days later after the said treatment, my skin was still peeling. It was dry for a whole week. I wished I filed a vacation leave because it looked horrendous that skin was peeling away from my skin as if I was sick.In the end, I did not use my other two vouchers from eBay Kuponan. PHP598 gone to waste.
