Notes When Redeeming a Huge Voucher
Our ability to bring you Huge Deals is based in large part on our reputation with merchants. You, our loyal and beloved customers, are the faces that our merchants see. How you act when redeeming your Huge Voucher is largely the basis for how merchants perceive Huge and whether they would do business with us again and recommend us to other merchants. For this reason, please always be polite and friendly when redeeming Huge Vouchers. If you have purchased a Huge Voucher for a service, please let the merchant know the earlier of when you book your reservation or when you arrive that you will be using a Huge Voucher and, if applicable, how many people will be in your party and if you will be requesting separate checks. Also, if you have purchased a Huge Voucher for food or other service for which a tip is generally expected, please tip on the full amount of the service and not the discounted amount. Please also give another review of the applicable Merchant Terms prior to redeeming the Huge Voucher so there is no embarrassment when, for instance, there are four people in your party and all four wish to redeem Huge Vouchers only to rediscover only one Huge Voucher is permitted per party.
