Desi Dawat

What is Desi Dawat?

Each day, Desi Dawat features an unbeatable deal on the best stuff to do, see, eat, and buy in your city. By promising businesses a minimum number of customers, we get discounts you would not find anywhere else. We call it "collective buying power!"

Do I have to sign up a group of people I know to get the deal?

Nope - our hundreds of thousands of members make up a big enough group. You will probably want to invite people anyway, though - Desi Dawat are fun to use with friends, grandparents, and men who wear monocles.

I like todays deal - how do I get it?

Just click "BUY" before the offer ends at midnight. If the minimum number of people sign up, we will charge your card and send you a link to print your Desi Dawat. If not enough people join, no one gets it (and you would not be charged), so invite your friends to make sure you get the deal!

What happens if the Desi Dawat does not reach its required minimum number of purchasers?

If not enough people sign up, then the deal is canceled, and you would not be charged. Better luck next time! So if you really want the Desi Dawat, be sure to either beg or threaten your friends .

Do I need to use my Desi Dawat the same day I buy it?

No. Many Desi Dawat have an expiration date, but you never have to use them on the date of purchase.

I bought a Desi Dawat - how do I use it?

Once you are charged, you will receive an email with a link to sign in and print your Desi Dawat. The Desi Dawat has redemption instructions and a map right on it!

Can I buy a Desi Dawat as a gift for someone else?

Yes. We communicate with all the businesses that we work with that Desi Dawats can be gifted, and unless the Fine Print specifically states otherwise, gift away! To have us send them the gift, select the gift option at checkout.

Wait, my name is on the Desi Dawat. Are you sure I can use this as a gift?

Yes!

If I do not use the full value of the Desi Dawat in one visit, can I use the remainder later?

No. Unless otherwise stated you do not receive store credit or cash back for whatever you do not use. Bring a friend - share a little!

Can I combine my Desi Dawat with other offers or specials?

No... not unless the Desi Dawat specifically states otherwise.

Am I billed as soon as I join a Desi Dawat?
