so far i have used city chop ones, the meagre 3% (but better than nothing) ones, and each time was a real hassle as they didn't know what it was, and had to ask another staff to come look at it. The first time I used one, there were 6 staff members reading it and trying to figure it out!! Not used any others as I don't have a printer! (printed the cityshop ones at my brother's place while i was in s'pore) |

I used city shops coupon last Saturday at Portman.
There were no questions asked.
The first time that I used these coupons was at aroma garden.
I didn't need to show the coupons.
When i said shanghaiexpat, they already know about it. |

I used the Malone's coupon in October. The waitresses had no clue what it was and had about 6 other staff trying to decipher the coupon. They would not accept it until we made a fuss and asked them to call their manager. When the bill came, they mistakenly charged us only for one burger instead of half price off the second one. |

So far I've used coupons at Jamaica Blue, Azul, and Pizza Italia. Sometimes there was confusing from the wait staff, but I always got the deal in the end. I feel that Azul's 50% off was my best experience so far. Getting food that good for such a small bill is really worth it. |

Most of the time I get total confusion from the waiting staff, they have no idea at all and this usually leads to everyone working gathering around for a long and pointless discussion with a conclusion rarely reached.
Oh...and I'm not even using the coupons! |

That's normal I guess. When managers don't inform their staff about the coupons. |

i have only used the Micasa one and haven't had any problems.
I agree that the city coupon is a little meagre (I'm sure this is more to do with what the supermarket wants to offer though than with shanghai expat) they are barely worth using. I generally spend 100 - 300 in one go at city, so this would give me a saving of 3 to 9 rmb! hardly worht the printer ink really! |

Every coupon has the expiration date located on the lower right corner. |

I've tried a number of them and never had any problem getting them reclaimed so far (knock on wood).
My favourites: Jamaica Blue's "Buy 1 Get one free" and their "Get a free cake on purchases above 25rmb." They thoroughly rock. Starbucks never more!
Tried the Azul one, and it's fantastic: 50% off is too good to pass.
Constantly use the 3% of CityShop. True, it's not much, but depending on your total purchase amount they are basically paying for your ride home.
Tried Papa Schnitzelhaus' coupons too, and had a good experience. The offer is not as big as Azul's but heck, you get free beer 
Tried Bubba's as well, their Friday coupon. Considering their margarita is AMAZING having a pulled pork + margarita for 75rmb total is an outrageous good deal.
GF used the dance thingy in Yarose Belli Dancing and she was satisfied with it.
I printed a bunch of these coupons of my favorite places and keep them in my bag.
I will be trying more of them in the future. I think it's a pretty solid idea. I am happy with it. |

I tried Papa Schnitzelhaus wed Coupon.
SMSed the contact number and I got a reply of the movie title and time.
They were playing Pirates of the Carribean Part 1 and 2.
They had a big flat screen tv, English audio with Chinese Subtitles.
Got unlimited peanuts instead of popcorn! IT was ok.
I had a great time. |

I hope this is working for the business owners that are participating: think about this:
We never went to Mexico Lindo before because we consider it kind of far from our home, but we went because of the coupon from Shanghai Expat. And we discovered a really nice place and we will now be coming back, coupon or not.
edit: wow, what a difference one letter makes: not/now... sorry for that mistake! I meant to say we will now be coming back, coupon or no coupon.
Thank yu888 for pointing out my error! |

so the coupon was good for bringing in a new customer that may not repeat BUT have had a good experience enough so that in case anyone asks, it coudl still refer new business. Not too bad. |

used the Azul's 50% off Monday coupon 2 days ago and totally love it. there were 3 of us, so we ordered 4 tapas. Beef, mushroom, seafood capela, and lamb... total bill came out to be 180RMB but with the coupon it was 90rmb so it was only 30rmb per person for 4 tapas.
great deal. will probably go back again next monday. |
