I have used them wthout problems.

There are numerous other companies that offer similar deals. Checkout Cobone too http://www.cobone.com/deals/dubai

The concept has been going in the US for years.

gonabit and cobone seem totally legit, i know loads of people who use them...

however, you do wonder about these sites - how many can the market take (one already disappeared here)...also, it always makes me think the supplier isn't doing so well...

Bought jet ski and scuba diving taster course vouchers from Cobone for when the Bahtatees were out last here last week. Was initially worried coz when I tried to book, they both said that Cobone hadn't released the voucher codes to them so they weren't certain of getting paid, and therefore wouldn't accept the booking. Both were ok in the event, but it was a bit touch and go with only a small window of opportunity.

The scuba diving they said was great--on their first dive they did 45 minutes in the sea (after a 45-minute theory induction and 5 mins fiddling with the stuff in the sea).

The other one is groupon. I get daily alerts for them all - but they often all have the same offer. Spa and meal deals are most popular followed by leisure/hotel stuff. I have bought a couple of Spa deals- they are OK considering they are half price.

And they do have offers in AD.

I have used both Gonabit and Cobone, never had a problem. Used them as a customer and as a retailer. Too many of these sites knocking about now though, I get e mails from a few others as well.

I've used those receipts quite a few times as well.. works great!

I've also used GoNabIt and dealgobbler. Both were okay. I've been using gonabit for a while now.

Just bought a 90-minute massage deal at dealgobbler for my girlfriend at 99dhs and she loved it, now she's asking me to buy more. Ehhhh.

I haven't used Cobone though, any feedback?

We went to Kempinski in Ajman on the weekend, pretty cheap and okish hotel - but full of gonabit people who got in cheap, the pool was full of lebs who were hammered and loads and loads of people were complaining.

We spoke to the manager and he tells us they make almost nothing from the gonabit deals as it was AED 800 for a room for the night and 3 meals, and gonabit take a 30% cut of that.

Must say Im a bit over these deals, I booked the Ajman Kempinski deal with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday - so 5 rooms in total and when we tried to book it they were fully booked on the weekend we wanted as they limit the number of rooms etc so it was a real palava getting dates where we could all go. And yes full of lebs by the pool so we went to the beach which was fine, and also full of locals in the bar drinking in their dishdashes- never seen it so blatantly before! I guess if something sounds too good to be true it generally is, but anyway we still hd a fun weekend. And teh shipwreck on teh way to Ajman is amazing so glad i saw that :D
