There are promoters who try to sell their Discount Coupon Books in connection with a local community or organization, such as the PTA or a church group. In return, these organizations get a piece of the profits earned. When you get a call from a discount coupon book promoter claiming that the profits will go to a community organization, you should ask if the salesperson is a member of that organization or is he or she a paid solicitor. Don’t hesitate, ask him/her what is the share of profit that will go to the organization.
Coupon books can represent a real value, and, at the same time, introduce you to new stores or restaurants. This will also draw merchants into new businesses that can become repeat business. But, as a consumer, if a business is offering coupon to you, be careful of their deceptive and overstated claims.
When you decide to buy a discount coupon book, We suggest that you should ask these following questions:
1. What is the actual cost of the book, including shipping and handling charges?
2. How convenient is the access to the mentioned businesses?
3. Is there any hidden cost? Or Are there any restrictions on the use of certain coupons?
4. Will you be able to cash in these coupons before the expiry date?
Remember that Discount Coupon Books that cost $25 or more and sold door-to-door or at any location other than the seller's permanent location of business, are considered to be home solicitation contracts and are subject to a three-day cooling-off period. So, if you change your mind about buying the book, you have three days time to discard your transaction to get a refund. To cancel your subscription, just fill up the cancellation form that should be there in your coupon book. Also, if you want to return the book, it has to be in the same very condition, as it was when you accepted it.
