“It's a great app and I have enjoyed it until it charged...”

Marjorie D.
9/2/24

It's a great app and I have enjoyed it until it charged me twice last night when the 1st transaction gave me an error message and said to try again. The park couldn't help me so I'll have to deal with calling to get it fixed.

The website is not taking my credit card. Also the fact that my comment has to be 50 characters is annoying.

First purchase and the deal you offered is amazing! Even better than Groupon with additional promotions and i love that all these events you feature were vetted by you. It's so disappointing when you look forward to taking your child to something and it doesn't turn out like anything you expect.

Reason I chose this business:

Fantastic deal.

System not super user friendly to using credit card. I tried to enter multiple times using app, safari on iPhone, ipad, and desktop. It took away a lot of my time. Customer service was good. They sent me a message correcting the issue. I then was able to purchase right away

Took a day, but it was corrected immediately

Reason I chose this business:

There is a specific deal that applies to my kid

It really bothers me that I am forced to opt in to marketing emails to finish checkout. You realize this is already illegal in Europe and California? Just b/c it's still legal elsewhere doesn't mean it's a good idea, it fosters bad will.

Best price out there for family fun! The sight was easy to sign up for, navigate and purchase from. Transaction was quick with no hidden offers to click! All said and done in 10 minutes. Highly recommend!

I have used Certifikid deals for so many activities for my kids in the Washington DC/Baltimore metro areas. We have discovered classes, vacation spots and activities and gotten to try them out with discount admissions! We have also really appreciated their discounts to sporting events and seasonal events like pumpkin picking or seasonal light shows. It's a great resource for families!

I'm always looking for great deals so my family of six can afford to enjoy all the area attractions. I've used CertifiKID to score some major deals! I always check CertifiKID first to see if they have a deal. Highly recommend to all my friends!

I am a single mother of 2 minions who love doing new and exciting things. On a single parent budget that can be pretty hard. I discovered Certifikid around 2015 and it's been a godsend. I have snagged so many deals that help me create beautiful memories with my minions. Interactions with the staff and even the Mom squad have always been so pleasant. I love being apart of this community and sharing it with other moms who enjoy it as much as I do.

It refused to take my new credit card when I was at the checkout cart (I clicked on "change payment type"). I had to go to my account and add new card. After that it still defaulted to my previous card and I had to go delete it. The system should allow more than 1 card being saved on the system. Quite inconvenient.

I've been using CertifiKID for over 2 years and always had a seamless easy experience in purchasing and redeeming deal vouchers. They have so many more deals than other similar sites. The site is very user friendly and I've saved my family so much money by purchasing vouchers through CertifiKID. Not to mention all the priceless family memories we have been able to create!

Every time that my family and I want to do an activity or getaway, I always check my local Certifikid website. They always have such great offerings and deals, and I am never disappointed. I would definitely recommend checking them out. You will totally save money and have lots of fun activities to choose from for your friends and family!

I wish that it could help me with typing my sentences because I still am not the best at typing good full sentences and I was trying to get better at not typing run-on sentences. Thank you but overall it is a good app. I don't have a business so I chose a random here is proof of purchase.

Certifikid not only has discounts on the best area entertainment, events and services, but it's also become a go to source for finding out about what's going on in my area. My family has had many great experiences all due to Certifikid!

I don't write reviews, but I had to for this company. I was advised to use this site to purchase tickets for an event my daughter was performing in, and while on this site I looked at other things Certifikid promoted. I saw an offer for a make-your-own jewelry company where you send in your child's artwork and it is turned into a piece of wearable jewelry and sent back. I purchased 3 of these for $78. However, the coupon was only good for a month and we did not get the artwork into the company in time (our fault, yes). I emailed customer service if we could at least use the amount we paid for the voucher towards the price of the items but never heard back from Certifikid, basically rendering it worthless. At least with past Living Social or Groupon sites, if the voucher expires you are allowed to use the paid amount towards a purchase (the non-promotional value). I won't be using this site again.

Won’t buy any coupon from this website anymore. I only got one coupon but they charged me twice. I did send emails to claim the money. They asked me to check this and check that. And still they didn’t want to refund me. Their system has problems but why waste my time on making so many excuses? Very annoying.

I have been using CertifiKid for years now! Absolutely love the deals you find and they are all in one place, no going to multiple sites! I have purchased deals as gifts for my family, friends and coworkers. Always a new fun adventure to find.

Overall the process was fine once I figured out how to remove my expired card and replace it with a new one. The print was sooo tiny and instruction not clear.

Reason I chose this business:

Gift for a friend that lives in the area of the kid activity.

I purchased $25 for TWO SNOW TUBING Tickets for Montage Resort. The voucher stated that it expires on March 31,2017. I went there over the weekend and the resort was still open. However, they closed the tubing early when we got there. I spoke with the GM there and they told they cant refund me since I bought it from a third party, which was Certifikid. I emailed them and they replied "We have spoken to the vendor regarding the early closure and they will honor your voucher for next season so you may use it then once they reopen". Unfortunately, we do not have the means to go back and forth easily when the place is 4hrs away! Nor we plan to go there ever again after this experience. I emailed the vendor asking for refund to no avail. Even though its a small amount, my hard earned did not deserve to be cheated on. Their customer service just keeps dodging and not helpful at all. Buyers beware of this merchant!

Anytime we are looking for activities to do as a family we pull up the CertifiKid site. There is always a wide range of places to visit and local activities at discounted pricing. As a mom to three young kids we are always looking for things to keep us busy and not break the bank. CertifiKid has given us great families memories from theater shows, museums, and day trips! We cannot recommend CertifiKid enough!

We purchased a family ticket pack to attend a lego exhibit at almost 50% discount over the door price. The online purchase with CertifiKid went smooth and the voucher was accepted at the event without problems. Overall a great experience!

Great apps with so much fun things to do around town. I wish the offers like cirques de sol had offers for those who don't have 4+ family members. As a single mother of 1 child I'd like to go to these events at a discount without having to find 2 other people to go with, pay for them and then pay me back. I just wanna buy 2 tickets with the same discount opportunity.

Reason I chose this business:

CertifiKid is an amazing resource to find things to do on a tight budget. 90% of the things on here I didn't even know was happening in my area. As a single mother with an ADHD kid, I always have to find things that are fun but also keep his attention. CertifiKid always has something to do and the discounts are AMAZING! I wish I could do more, but the deals I am able to get are GREAT! Thank you for this resource.

Reason I chose this business:

I'm planning for the summer (i. E. summer camp, things to do, places to go, etc.) and saw there were deals, but then ran into other things I saw were interested. In the end I got sidetracked but still happy with my purchases :)

It took 5 tries to actually make the purchase. I even tried on the app, but it told me I had to go back to the website. How can the process be so cumbersome to update a credit card on file? I nearly quit - Just not worth my time when the site doesn't work.

Reason I chose this business:

Because you had something of interest to me.

I found out about Certifikid from a mom in my moms group when my son was only 6 months old. He's 5.5 now and we have had so many wonderful experiences because of the awesome deals on Certifikid! We've gone apple picking, Leesburg Animal Park, My Gym camp, Gymboree classes, Scramble, National harbor, and Port Discovery museum to name just a few of the highlights! We've not only been able to save a ton of money but we've gotten to experience new and exciting things I might never have found out about because of Certifikid! It's the ideal "groupon" site for parents!
