Sweet deal! I hope you don't mind if I add this deal to my blog tomorrow. I'll be sure to credit you and CP for the tip.

I plan on stocking up on the Studio City Detailing deal too and buying enough to last the entire summer. I just haven't decided how many I want to buy yet, but it'll likely be 3-5. One year expiry isn't bad although a good chunk of the deals don't have expiry dates.

From my understanding, what makes these vouchers legal is even when expire, they are still worth whatever you paid for them. For example, today's DealTicker City Studio deal costs $29 for a Detailing Package valued at $90. If you use the voucher within a year, you'll get the detailing package worth $90. If you use the voucher past the expiry date, the voucher is still worth the original $29 that you paid and can be put towards any service at Studio City. I believe this applies to all vouchers purchased at all the group-buyng sites.

I emailed DealTicker about this, and got a reply (CC'd to their legal dep't) saying that because it has no cash value those regulations don't apply. Which seems like a BS answer to me, since the regulation says "monetary value" and it certainly has monetary value, since you're paying for it. They're vouchers (specifically included in the Act) not coupons.

It didn't sound like they'd honour it for the $29 after expiry. I'd be interested in hearing what CP's legal braintrust has to say on this one, since it seems like they're basically flouting the law to me, although I'm certainly not a lawyer. They're probably counting on nobody filing suit over $29, but it might be worth a complaint to gov't of Alberta/Service Alberta if one of yours expires.

The Generations Chiropractic Wellness Centre '$29 for 2 Thirty Minute Massages or 1 Sixty Minute Thai Massage' is a great deal. This is the cheapest massage deal that I have seen in Calgary. $29 for two 30 minute massage (breaks down to only $14.50) or $29 for a 60 minute Thai Massage is about as good as it gets. I will be stocking up on this deal and buying the maximum 3 vouchers allowed.

Thanks for the head's up on the East Side Mario's deal. I love that place!

My money is on DealTicker not lasting. I will be leery purchasing from them given that they are trying to lawyer their way out of legally mandated customer service levels. They have a lot of competition. Given this and the lack of sales on the wine deal, I suspect that they will not be in business in a year.

I also recommend you check out the Golden Inn Restaurant promotion.

I would have to agree with you. I also found this on their FAQs. Classy!

I Bought A DealTicker.com Voucher and Now That Business Has Closed Down... Can I Get My Money Back?
If anything happens making it impossible for you to redeem your voucher, DealTicker will do its absolute best to ensure to provide a satisfactory resolution to any situation and will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

You can compare that to Groupon's policy from their comparable page.

What if the business for my Groupon closes down?

If anything happens that makes it impossible for you to redeem your Groupon, we'll make sure you get your money back.

YaYa Calgary is a new group-buying site that recently launched in Calgary. The great thing about them is they are located and based right here in the city! I encourage all of you to check out their website and help support a local group-buying company. They have a great deal to Stonehill Restaurant & Tavern today (used to be Flight Deck). I purchased my first YaYaCalgary deal this morning and I'm looking forward to giving the restaurant a try.

As a reminder, Brita will be giving away a Free Brita Pitcher & Filter today at Eau Claire Market from 11am - 7pm. I got one last year and it works great. Cick the link for more details: http://www.calgarydealsblog.com/2011...nd-filter.html

I'm so happy there's finally a groupon for Stonehill! I live near there and have always wanted to try it. Now I have a reason to go!

[pylon]

Just to let you guys know. Walmart had the Kuerig B60 SE brewer on for $128 right now. That is a smoking deal for the machine. I have one at the office, and at that price, I picked up another one for home.

They normally go for $180-200.

This is the one, make sure it has thew LCD display on it, and the chromed handle. Other words I think it is the B40, which is not as well featured:

I live by Stonehill too and was pretty excited when I found out YaYaCalgary was featuring them today. I used to always go to Flight Deck to watch Flames games, but haven't gone since it switched over to Stonehill. I heard they interior is very different (no more TV's everywhere).
