    Anyone else receiving unwanted spam from them? I have no clue how they got my email addresses, I'm thinking they might have bought email addresses from other group buy sites (daily steal anyone?). Total :poop:, let's see if they obey unsubscribe requests.

    Sketchy travel deals, fake testimonies, spamming... not a good start if they're legit. Anyone with a good review?

    I receive deals from edailyquest and they have not been a scam. I purchased the quizznos, easy wash etc. I've even spoken to the customer service department and they have been helpful and if I wasn't satisfied they gave offered a full refund. I don't see any scams here

    Hey, I also receive deals from eDailyQuest.com. I got the email about the travel deal and I looked into it. That company did other daily deal sites:
    http://www.buywithme.com/dallas/deals/4452-next-stage-travel
    and they did one with Social bUy
    http://www.socialbuy.com/los-angeles...vel-08-02-2011

    does anyone have any experience with other daily deal sites that offered this type of deal.
    It appears like Next Stage is at fault and not so much the daily deal company.
    I looked into edailyquest San diego and they did deals with Charities such as Leukemia and Lymphoma society. I didn't see anything bad about them.I don't know much about the travel company offering the deal though.

    Getting spam from them, they definitely bought an address list from someone.

    Thanks for the info, their Quizno's deal looked pretty good. The issue with the travel voucher is that all the conditions weren't revealed, in particular the flight credit limit. I think they need to explain what happened with the Next Stage Travel deal and also explain how they have our email addresses.

    Lolz I am surprised so many people bought into that Vegas deal.... I mean come on what were you expecting? Also just there website should have been a red flag... Didn't anyone see how amateur and outdated it was?

    What are you talking about? Looks totally legit to me :rofl:.

    On a more serious note, I'm more concerned about the unsolicited emails than the sketchy travel scam because even WagJag was recently duped by a similar travel company called "Travel Logic Services". It's unfortunate that eDailyQuest decided to launch with such a bad deal though, it's obviously set them back and there's no room for error in the group buy market.

    To be safe, just avoid all travel deals from these group buy sites. It speaks volumes when they feature deals from sketchy companies without doing a proper background check. The market leaders are guilty of this too, groupon got caught up with the horrible FTD flower deal and LivingSocial (the biggest player after Groupon) sold a disney travel package that turned out to have a ton of hidden fees attached.

    Non-local travel deal from a group buy site = AVOID. At the first least, you should do some googling to see if it's legit.

    Yes I think their other deals are fine. They actually refunded me for the Next Stage Travel deal because it does seem to be a scam.
