As another reviewer said "No fast food places, discounts and attractions or other services. Save your money." I wish I had read the reviews before I bought, don't make my same mistake. I was surprised how few deals/places it did have. It did not have the same caliber of venues/restaurants as I would see in an entertainment book. I am an avid entertainment book user. I did not use card once in the year I had it. I thought this would have those types of same deals. I live in Seattle and could never find a discount to use, event when I traveled I still found that it was not worth it.
The 4 or 5 places I visited while traveling already had specials that were better than the ones listed with this membership. I don't blame Garmin, but many of the merchants don't honor this card. Several of them looked at the card and thought it was some kind of hoax.
NOTE: While the online information indicates the card is good for one year, the one I got had an expiration date of July 31, 2009, only ten months from the date I ordered it. Unfortunately, the slot in the nuvi 880 only accepts a MicroSD card. I ordered the SaversGuide at the same time I ordered my nuvi 880, received both items promptly. I was disappointed in that the SaversGuide software was on a regular SD memory card. The return process was extremely easy, and my account was promptly credited with the return.If the SaversGuide was available on a MicroSD card, I would order one.
I've tried starting the Garmin first and then inserting the card, and I've tried inserting the card first and then starting the Garmin. When I called customer service, I learned that they are not open on the weekend, so I couldn't get a solution to the problem. This product freezes up the Garmin every time I try using it. It doesn't work either way.
I used this product on a trip through western Arkansas, north and central Louisiana, and Houston TX. It was useless.
