Okay, so, I’ve been messing around with this thing called PerkSpot, and let me tell you, it’s been quite a journey. I first heard about it from a buddy who’s always on the lookout for good deals. He was like, “Dude, you gotta check this out, it’s got tons of discounts!” I was skeptical, cause I used to think, who needs these things? But, well, I’m a convert now.
Sign Up and First Impressions
So, the first thing I did was try to sign up. It wasn’t super clear at first. The website, it just wouldn’t let me in, kept giving me this “We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us” message. I thought, “Great, another one of those things that’s more trouble than it’s worth.” But then I saw something about a mobile app. Apparently, I needed to activate my account first.
Downloading the App
Downloaded the PerkSpot Mobile App. This was a game-changer. Suddenly, I could actually see what this thing was all about. It was pretty smooth, I gotta say. Browsing through discounts, saving stuff, it all worked pretty well on my phone. No issues there, which was a relief after the initial website hiccup.
Exploring the Discounts
Now, the real meat of it – the discounts. Man, there are a lot. I mean, they’ve got deals on theme parks, travel, event tickets, you name it. I started looking through the brands, and there were a bunch I actually use. It’s all nicely organized too, in this easy-to-use portal. Works on my computer, tablet, and phone, which is super convenient. I found a discount code that I want to try recently on my favorite sport brand. I’m not sure if that works, but it’s worth a shot.
Why PerkSpot Stands Out
What really got me was finding out that PerkSpot actually works with companies to set up these discount programs for their employees. They say they’ve partnered with over 1,000 merchants. And it’s not just a few random deals, they’re actually pretty good. Exclusive stuff that you won’t find just anywhere. Plus, they make it personalized, so you’re seeing stuff you’re actually interested in.
Thinking About the Bigger Picture
Then I started thinking, if I were running a company, this would be a cool perk to offer. It’s like, “Hey, we care about you, here are some discounts to make your life a bit easier.” And apparently, it’s free for companies to add to their benefits. That’s a no-brainer, right? Keeps the team happy, and it doesn’t cost anything.
Final Thoughts
So, yeah, that’s my PerkSpot adventure. Started a bit rocky, but it turned out to be pretty darn useful. I’m definitely going to keep using it. It’s like having a secret weapon for saving money. And who doesn’t love that? If you haven’t checked it out yet, maybe give it a shot. Just remember to activate your account and use the app, and you’re golden!
