Like Groupon? Try City Steal

City Steal St. Louis is a new local collective buying power website that works in a similar way to Groupon: every day there is one ‘deal’, usually something at a steep discount, like a gift certificate to a restaurant. If you want it, you buy it, but the business offering the deal sets a minimum number of certificates that have to be sold to make the deal work for them, so the deal only becomes ‘active’ and you only get charged for it if enough other people buy the deal as well.

CitySteal.com, which just launched recently, is focused on bringing those deals to St. Louis residents. Each day City Steal will offer a new Steal featuring a great restaurant, service, activity, or event within the St. Louis community.

City Steal was launched by co-founders Josh Hartley and Rob Wilker. It features one Steal every 24 hours with incredible savings on all of the best restaurants, services, activities, and events that St. Louis has to offer.

      Thanks for coming by Karen…City Steal could be promising….but they have
      some well established competition. We'll see. I am pulling for them.

    I went to your website and thought I was purchasing a coupon, my account has been charged but there have been no coupons to print?

      Debra,

      I think you need to go to CitySteal.com directly and take this issue up with them. This site here does not sell any products, or collect credit card numbers.

      Let me know if you need anything further from me.
