Common Questions

What is Today’s Great Deal?

Based on a style of buying called ‘Tuangou’ (pronounced ‘Twangoo’), developed recently in China, Today’s Great Deal brings the power of group buying to the individual. We secure excellent deals from suppliers local to your area and offer these deals at anything up to 90% off the standard retail price.

How does it work?

All you have to do is subscribe to the Today’s Great Deal website by supplying a valid e-mail address. You can then view the deals on offer that day. If you are interested in buying a deal, you can select the ‘Buy Now’ button that takes you to our secure purchase page where you can make your purchase. You will get an email from PayPal showing you the details of your payment and then you will get an email from Today's Great Day with the subject heading “Your Order at Today's Great Deals”. You voucher(s) are attached as PDF's to this email. You can then open these vouchers and print them off.

I can't sign-in! Help!

If you have previously purchased a deal click on the sign-in link and sign in if you know your password. If you do not, just leave the password field blank and click on the sign-in button. You will then be taken through the password reset process. If you have not previously made a purchase just go right ahead and do so, you will be issued with sign-in details after your purchase is made.

I havent received my vouchers yet. What do I do?

Your voucher(s) are attached to your Today's Great Deal email with the subject heading “Your Order at Today's Great Deals”. If you cannot see this email it may be due to your email or firewall settings so you must check your ‘Spam’ or ‘Junk’ folders. You can also download your voucher(s) by using the following process: 1. Sign in to the website using your username and password. 2. Click on the 'Click here to view your order history' link. 3. Click on the deal order number for which you require your voucher. 4. Click on the 'Download Voucher' link to download the voucher to your PC.

How much does each deal cost?

At Today’s Great Deal we have made a good thing even better. Each new deal starts at a fantastic price just after midnight every day. The deal then runs for 24 Hours, but during that time as more people buy the deal the less you have to pay. Look for the sliding scale of prices on the left hand side of the main screen.

OK, but what if the deal gets cheaper after I buy it?

Don’t worry. No matter when you buy your deal you will only ever be charged the lowest price that the deal gets to at the end of the day. Therefore, it is important to get all your friends to buy the deal too...

Why is there is no sliding scale on the other deals.

Only the Daily Deal has a sliding scale. All the other deals are set to a fixed price.

How can you offer goods and services so inexpensively?

We can guarantee the Vendor a certain amount of take up on each deal so the Vendor in turn can offer these deals at heavily discounted prices. Just like when a restaurant offers corporate prices for bookings of over 50 persons for dinner. You, as an individual, can now get access to these excellent prices.

How do I redeem my Deal?

You can print the voucher, and quote the code when you redeem your deal. For Example - You have bought a meal for two with wine at a fancy restaurant. When you book your table you must quote ‘Glasgow's Great Deal’, your name, and the voucher code. You should also take a printout of your voucher with you on the evening. All the vendor has is your name and your voucher code linked to that name. A voucher code can only be used once.

How does the discount 'Coupon Code' work?

If you have a discount 'Coupon Code' you should enter this code in the 'Coupon Code' box in the checkout screen and press the 'Apply to Order' button and the discount will be applied to the cost of your deal, but remember, the deal cost must be more than the discount code amount! For Instance: if you are buying a deal priced at £8 and you input a discount code worth £5 you will only pay £3 for the deal, but you could not use this code for a deal priced at less than £5.

I want a discount code! Where do I get one?

Discount coupon codes are regularly given out on Facebook, Twitter, and other media sources. Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter to see when these codes are offered.
