I do not understand why people and companies do not understand simplicity. Offer a ten percent off deal that applies to every hotel, B'n'B, etc. Or a straight, good old fashioned cents off coupon. It is sad to be sent things only to invalidate them. REAL MATTERS, FOLKS. Try being honest.

As the owner of a PR firm, one of my pet peeves is businesses who use false advertising. I check many deals only to find out that they are not "deals." It is frustrating that businesses will institute a price drop then create a bogus promo code to make people think they are getting a deal. I may not post very often, but what you see in my personal feed will represent genuine sales and deals. I actually shop the stores that I post about, including independent shops like Sticker Guru. Half the time, I check deals that sound too good to be true and learn that they are. That happened with a hotel "deal" today and it prompted me to make this post.
