I just received an e-mail indicating that Entertainment Books have dropped to $9.99 and FatCash currently has a $5.50 Cash Back per book making your cost $4.49 per book plus the $2.99 shipping per book for a total cost of $7.48 per book. Don't forget to use the Fat Cash link. This was the site that came up when I ordered two of the Orange County CA books.
$5.50 coupon applicable only if you signup to received book every year at regular price & agree to be charge to your credit card unless cancelled when your email notification come.

n41! Great price. Plenty of time to use these coupons this year.

For frequent fliers like me this is a no brainer as there is a 5% discount coupon (per book) for American Airlines. I've already got several books and with this deal plan on ordering several more. Thanks OP!

Thanks OP!In general, I've been pretty disappointed with the coupons this year, worst than last year, but there are a few good ones. Worth about $10 I would say.

Great deal especially for those grocery deals.
I was trying to decide whether buying it in the beginning of the year (they had it for $19.99 with free shipping and $7 Cash Back) is better than waiting till a deal like this. I did both and I have found that the beginning of the year is actually better because for $12.99 shipped (after FC), you get $20 back in grocery (maybe more depending on your local). While the Grocery deals are now down to $10 (because of expiration), thus for $7.48 shipped you get $10 in grocery deals. These are just my 2 cents.

Not in my experience, you will need to make separate orders to get CashBack.
I just sent an e-mail to the FW team asking about this as I just placed an order for 3 books on a single order and will be expecting a credit of $16.50.

You don't know what you are talking about. This $5.50 is via FatCash and has nothing to do with ordering future books (which I would not do). In addition, you get the $5.50 back for each book you order.

I have received the Cash Back on multiple orders every time I ordered via the FW link. I received the amount for each book I ordered and it did not matter if they were all in the same order.
Thanks OP! Got an OC book. Thinking about getting an LA book but I'm not up that way often enough. That and I don't have a wife/GF, so I don't eat at fancy institutions much anyway
Pinan said: Thanks OP. Good until Nov. That's fine with me.
That's plenty of time to get your money's worth. Especially with summer around the corner (theme parks etc) For me, it's a matter of using all the fast food coupons (especially Del Taco)
FrugalFreak said: dang, I just bought one month ago. trying to sell on craigs, this will make it impossible now.
The people that gave me red, care to explain why? I bought jacksonville 2008 book to use it, but my friend moved back to alabama and was selling to recoup my money. some people are.....and ain't got a clue.
I gave you red for making a vague statement that could be construed many ways, then whining about it and begging for information to clear your name. Are you some sort of introvert that feels compelled to validate themselves through explanation? Seek help on that...

does anyone know if they have good deals for Boston? I bought a western MA one already, and wasn't all that impressed. I'll be moving closer to Boston, so would get one if its better.

I used the coupons for Regal Fenway theater. It is definitely worth $7.5. Besides, there are coupons for a couple of fast food restaurants, which are also worthy.

They haven't been good for the last few years, and this year looks even worse. I'm buying one at this price because the attraction coupons (bogo whale watch on the North Shore, etc) can be helpful when we have summertime guests.

You might want to try using the expired grocery coupons. My wife used them three times and told the cashier they were expired, but each time they said it wasn't a problem and took them anyway. YMMV, obviously, but it's worth a shot.

Same here. The dates on the grocery or drug store coupons seem to be meaningless and can be used either prior to or after the printed dates. YMMV.

Just got my Cash Back notifier e-mail from FW for $16.50 . This was for one single order placed for 3 books so you don't have to place 3 separate orders.

There are several good restaurants in the northern boston suburbs where I am. Here's a sampling of the best: Lester's BBQ in Burlington Krazy Karry's in Arlington and Woburn Westford Grille in Westford Oscar's Pinatas in Tewksbury
Choose one and the book is paid for, choose 2 and your making money. There's a couple decent one's for Boston itself (Tequila Rain, Jillian's) but we never seen to get in there to use them. The museum 2 for 1's would be good but most libraries in the area have free passes anyway. Perhaps its good for a last minute trip when the library is closed/pass already taken for the day.

Thanks Realdealsq!!! Even though you have to sign up for renewal you can cancel it, so it doesn't matter. I can't wait to get mine.

The price I mentioned did not require you to sign up for renewal, the $5.50 is CashBack from FatWallet. If you sign up for renewal, you are making $0.50 before shipping cost. I don't mess with things where I have to sign up and then cancel.....it is too much trouble.
I also use SD and posted this deal there. But they removed it because I was suggesting that they save money using FatCash. They would rather see their members pay an additional $5.50 for the book, than have them use this site. Shame on them for not trying to let their members know about the best prices!!!

Hypothetically you could use a virtual credit card number that expires in a month. Hypothetically of course...

If you are logged in, click on My Account (at the top of the page) Then 'Click History' to see if the click history to Entertainment.com is there. Then wait patiently for about a month or so. http://www.fatwallet.com/cashback/clickhistory.php
I had the issue where the history did not even show that I had made a purchase through caskback for the Entertainment book. I emailed FW regarding this and it was very quickly resolved. The FW staff are really good at addressing issues very quickly.
