Let me elaborate with these three examples. 1. Had booked a 1 night stay at Golden Tulip Dibba , when I get there the direct price during the discount period is the same. ( only difference was that lunch was also included in the discount coupon that I purchased ) 2. Ditto when I had purchased a coupon for Barracuda, UAQ; The same price was available if one went there directly during same period. 3. Had purchased a coupon for Iftar at restaurant. Again , one could avail the discount price if gone there directly. So far I have yet to see a genuine discount on these so called discount sites.   After trying out the discount sites,
