Hawaii Entertainment book?

[luv2travel2beaches]

Can anyone tell me if the Hawaii Entertainment book has coupons for deals on Kauai and The Big Island? When I tried to check it out online it showed discounts for mostly Honolulu. Thanks!

[jetz]

Hi - I ordered an Entertainment book yesterday. They are now 50% off and $17.50 + $5 shipping was a great deal because it'll save me $40 on the Polynesian Cultural Center. I've already paid for the book. I also noted most of the discounts were on Honolulu, but they had many discounts for chain stores. In other words, when my kids want an ice cream I can take them to a Cold Stone and get 2 for 1. We won't be doing any fast food restaurants, but BK and McD's are in there as well. Hilo Hatties has a discount too, I believe. So, bottom line is whether you can make up the $22.50 cost. Evyerthing else is just cake. ;-))

We used ours for a lot of small things and the PCC and it more than paid for itself. When we left the ship, we gave it to our steward and he and his friend were VERY excited, because it had coupons for Subway and Burger King left in it.

 

One caveat- there are tons of car rental coupons in the book. I had already booked but planned to use them for upgrades. Read the fine print. They aren't good in Hawaii.

Seems strange to put them in the Hawaiian book and not be able to use them there. I used a National free day coupon online and it seemed to work okay. Guess I will find out when I get there.

The backbone of the Entertainment books, and what keeps them viable, are the national (and international) coupons. You'll find movie deals, car rental agencies, chain restaurant, hotel chain, etc. coupons in every Entertainment book across North America. We're looking at the Vancouver book for our cruise this summer (the 50% sale that just hit is good, better than the $10 off and a coupon from a month ago --but not as good as 50% off and free shipping, which will likely happen but may take another month). That British Columbia book includes coupons for Sea World, Orlando. :)

 

That's also how the prices for the Entertainment books stay pretty reasonable, and why they work for fund-raisers, etc. Purely local coupon books are quite spendy -- the two big ones in Alaska, for instance, cost $50 to $100 each.

Thanks for the info. Since I was planning on using the rental car coupons in Hawaii and that was the main purpose of the book I guess I won't be buying it now. There just aren't enough things in Kauai and The Big Island if the rental car coupons are no good! Thanks for helping me to NOT waste my money.

for HI EXCEPT Budget...

national, alamo, avis and hertz work find (used them for 2 years in a row).

You can also use Costco coupons for HI... they don't ask for the card (but sometimes asks for coupon)

[luv2travel2beaches]

OK. Thanks! I really do appreciate the info.

Hi,

 

Can you please tell me what the Air Kauai coupon is for? Also, if there are any instructions on how to book it. I am waiting for my book to arrive, but would like to go ahead and possibly book it depending on the stipulations.

Thanks!

I tried to use my coupons when booking online and they wouldn't take them, so I tried at the counter in person. Avis refused mine and showed me the fine print on the back that says it isn't valid in Hawaii. I checked and the other ones said the same, so didn't try at other rental locations.

Most of the rental car coupons in the entertainment book don't apply if cruising. Examples of Avis coupons - $25off a weekly rental; free weekend day (for 3 or more consecutive days); $20 off a weekly rental; avis coupons do say only valid in contiguous U.S. and Canada.

 

Enterprise has coupon for "up to 15% off standard daily rates". 15% off is at neighborhood locations or 10% off at airport locations. Discount applies to cars reserved in advance. Coupon must be redeemed at time of rental. The code is ENTX82.

 

Most companies have coupon for car class upgrade- Alamo, National, Hertz

 

Budget & Avis coupons say valid only in contiguous U.S.

Someone mentioned that the PCC coupons may be for up to 6 people. Is this correct? We have 13 in our group - just wondering if I need 2 books.

Unless I'm overlooking it, I don't see a coupon for helicopter tour on Big Island

My mom called and confirmed that for our group of 6 adults at the PCC we would need 3 books. But for what they're selling for now, you still save money.

Hi All

 

For those of you with more expirience with using these books I have a question..

I am an aussie traveling solo on PoAM in November.. On top of this I will be spending 4 days on Oahu.

I cant drive due to medical reasons so using this book for car rental isnt an option for me..

Will this book still be of benefit to me ?

I have read that booking tours through NCL can be costly.. Does this book have cheaper alternatives?

 

Any advice will be greatly appreciated:)

 

Thanks

Leashy

Thanks for the update on th PCC Coupons everyone!

As of today, Hawaii book is sold out! Ohwell, next time for me

[TreasureQuest]

I just checked ... there are several books listed on eBay.

 

I got lucky with mine. The day after I bought it they left me a voicemail saying they were sold out and would recredit my credit card. Ten days later, it arrived in the mail. Fortunately I hadn't won a bid yet on eBay, so I didn't end up with 2 of them!

 

Now, I just have to remember to pack it!!!

[robinsra]

I got really good hotel rates using the book.
