Lucky for me, my favorite place to get ice cream in Pittsburgh, Scoops, had two different perks offered. Since my husband also shares a deep love for ice cream, we picked the BOGO (buy one, get one) deal on a two-scoop cone.

Once we got to Scoops, I simply logged into VIP Perks! on my cell phone, found the coupon and selected the Redeem option. The coupon populated at that point, and I showed the cashier whenever we got to the register.

The entire process could not have been any easier and saved us about $5. Since there are dozens of restaurants, attractions, activities, shopping, services in my area participating in this program, there is no shortage of coupons we can continue to use every time we go out.
