Group Buying Sites Philippines

Enjoy Great Discounts from Group Buying Sites

This is the latest craze now where we now see websites offering group websites as long as a “quota” of buyers buy the deal. Presenting, Group Buying Sites in the Philippines!

Here’s a list of these websites that I have found so far. I have tried a few and usage has been very easy. They would have different interfaces especially the bigger ones but for the smaller ones, some would look similar (different headers, colors). I pay for my purchases via paypal (so convenient). You can also pay via other options like via your credit card, gcash/smart money, or you can drop by their office to pay manually. I will blog more about them when I finally get to use the coupons I paid for.

How does Group Buying Sites Work?

Almost daily, these websites will provide you with a new deal. They will offer huge discounts from 40% (sometimes up to 70% off) as long enough people buy the deal to activate the deal. If the quota is not met then the deal is off and those who who have bought will get their refunds. These deals only last for a few days so if you miss buying the deal, then you can just wait for new deals to come out.

After buying, you will get a coupon which you can print and present to the establishment where the deal can be claimed. Think of it as a gift checks that you get from special events or as gifts.

Deals range from food (eg. specific dishes, buffet), self pampering packages (eg. facial, massage, spas), lodgings (eg. hotels, rest houses) and many more.
