Scammed
I bought 10 of the SS cards for gifts for clients and family. Less than half of the codes were in valid. I tried to receive technical support from the man selling them. Supposed owner of SS.
If this is something you do want to purchase. Make sure you have it on your phone immediately once purchased. Do not buy in bulk because there is no way to ensure that the codes are valid. Unlike when they had the accordion style physical cards.

Ew
The owners of this company are scammers, cheats, liars, and it shows through in this app! App is all glitchy, I have so many issues trying to use at the places visited, but I let it all go as starving student card USED to be the very best in Utah up until the ownership changed. Had a deal with this company to work with a massive soccer club here and they ended up screwing us over with hardly any money(way less than agreed upon) going back to the kids who have worked tirelessly to pay for their own soccer and instead the money goes back to the wallets of these evil people. True F-tards.
Deals not accepted
Frequently nearly every time I try to use this and the restaurant says they don’t accept the deal. This is a problem compounded by no way to report the restaurant as unwilling to accept the deal so it can be removed and not drag people to a store unwilling to accept the coupon.
Some deals are not honored
Multiple restaurants have not honored the deals hosted on this site
Online ordering
This is great with the flaw that you can’t order online and use the coupons. And since more places don’t even answer the phone the coupons have to be submitted pre order.
Paid Subscription
I bought a subscription and it had me use Apple Pay. So I did and when I went to make an account the only option was to buy another one or have an activation code but was never given a code. Contacted the company a week ago and haven’t heard anything. Wouldn’t recommend using the app. Find someone selling cards.
Subscription Problem
We bought the starving student card through the app yesterday. We have order confirmation and receipt, but when we log in it states we don’t have an active subscription and it will only show 1 location for each deal. Hope this can be fixed and we don’t have to call every restaurant or place we want to use the deal to see if they accept the deals. Very frustrating
Too much work
The app is okay, but I really REALLY wish that the deal would go away after you use it. Like off the list. Because it’s super annoying having to go through all your deals and trying to sort out the ones you’ve already used.
Also, I hate the fact that if you click on a deal to, idk, see where the location is, and then you go back, it sends you right to the top again.

Miss the old card
I buy these cards every year and was excited when they were being sold for my sons class. Very bummed when they went to the app. Even more so when I noticed deals disappearing even when I hadn’t used them. I don’t know if I will subscribe again next year. Also you can’t buy any for people as a surprise. They all have to be attached to an email.
