Yes, our Middle school used Dine And Discounts. We have 15 boys in our group. The boys averaged selling 25 of the subscription cards each! This earned each of them over $500 a piece!!! The group earned over $8000.00

The founder of DineAndDiscounts is a basketball coach (professionally a marketing guy) annoyed by how little his kids got back from their fundraisers. He, like so many of us, took the bull by the horns to set up a program focused on giving more back to the kids.
I met Mike at a basketball coaches convention in Madison, WI last year and learned alot about him and why he started DineAndDiscounts and it IS everything it's cracked up to be, AND MORE!
It's refreshing to see a company that is in this for the right reasons!!!
I'm working on replacing the calendar raffel at my kids school with DineAndDiscounts because it will eliminate a ton of work and earn about $10,000 more in profit than what we made previously.
We also used Dine and Discounts and had a huge success in raising just over $20,000 for playground equipment. We made 80% on every sales and had nothing to buy of tote around or get stuck with.
Here it how it worked for us. They gave us the subscription tickets for our groups to sell. It sells for $25.00- that part was scary to some but it ended up not evey being an issue. They included a $25. offer right off the bat to anyone who supported our group so they were able to get their money back. Plus their website has thousands of offers that you can use over and over again. It is a realy value to the people buying the subscription.
Money and checks went to our group and at the end we made a $20. profit per sales and returned less than 30 tickets to the rep.
We used Dine and discounts as well. Had a very successful fundraiser. We were skeptical as well but they lived up to their promise. We raised almost $30,000 with 300 kids participating. With the big return kids only need to sell a few subscriptions for a big payday!
We used Dine and Discounts at our school with very good success. In fact they saved us as we were able to launch in just a few days.
We let the rep know how many subscriptions our groups wanted to sell and they arrived in just a few days with our logo. Each subscription sold for $25.00 and we kept $20.00. (80%) The subscribers are able to print discounts from local and big name stores from their site as often as they want. We had about 120 students sell 1,000 subscriptions over about ten days and cleared $20,000. We returned the unsold subscriptions and had no costs.
I have never heard of this program, but I have to be a little suspicious. my school received some "free" gas coupons from a company that looked really good. To make a long story short, in order to get even $10 in gas from this company (they promised $40 total), one had to jump through so many hoops that it made the whole process not worth it. if your group is making 80% return, what is in it for the company promoting the product. It just sounds too good to be true. On the other hand, if there are no costs to your school, try it, you have nothing to lose.
