Living Social Plus

Living Social has launched a new program called Living Social Plus. The program is in beta mode for now and is open to invited members only. The program is a little over a week old. I should be on top of these things but only found out about it when I got an invite from them.

It cost $20 per month to join their new premium membership and with it you get $25 each month in Deal Bucks. 5 of those Deal Bucks has to be spent that month or they expire. The other 20 Deal Bucks can be used anytime during the following months. If you don't spend your 20 Deal Bucks that month you can save them for later. The 20 Deal Bucks you receive each month are good for 5 years unless your state says otherwise.

This new membership seems like a pretty decent deal if you are a regular customer of Living Social as it means your average savings will be closer to 60% off instead of 50%. But they did add one more sweetener to the offer and that is you might be able to purchase a deal after it has been closed. Just contact Living Social within 48 hours of the closed offer and they will try their best to allow you to buy it. They don't offer any guarantees but I suspect that unless an offer has been sold out they will let you purchase an expired offer.

Here is what is on Living Social's website:
