We recently attended the launch of the 2018 ENTERTAINER at a venue like no other, Twenty5. Set in the sky, with epic views of the iconic Moses Mabhida Stadium, it had us wishing we could stay longer… and longer we did stay! It was a fun-filled evening spent with gorgeous people, yummy food and drinks as well as a few competitions, an epic photo booth and awesome entertainment that had us dancing the night away!
We were being entertained by THE ENTERTAINER… nuff said!
If you have or haven’t heard of The Entertainer we are about to E.X.P.L.A.I.N I.T A.L.L so don’t stress:-
“What?” you ask?
“How?” you ask?
Read on to find out MORE!
Entertainer 2018 photo booth was SO much fun! Thanks to the KZN Wedding DJ for the cool setup – best thing, we got to take these gems home with us!
What?
The Entertainer is a yearly subscription which allows you access to a variety of pretty awesome deals that you can redeem at your leisure. The deals are based on “Spend & Save” 2-for-1 discounts. The deals offered include food & drink, attractions & leisure, beauty & fitness, fashion & retail, every day services as well hotels worldwide.
Yes please!
Who doesn’t want to save money while going out on the town and having fun, feeling fabulous or looking good??
How?
You simply need to download the app to your phone and pay the yearly subscription fee which will allow you access to a multitude of deals that suit your taste, style and location! You can have the app downloaded to multiple devices which is pretty “schweet” too.
The deals are valid for 7 days a week and BONUS is you get reward points in the form of SMILES each time you redeem an offer (it acts kind of like a “currency” that you can then use to redeem more freebies at a later stage), as well as exclusive monthly member offers and 40% discounts on hotel stays.
In a nut shell, for example… if you and your bae <3 go out for dinner at a restaurant that is supported by the app. You can get a complimentary main menu item, when a main menu item of equal or greater value is ordered (kind of like a “buy one get one free” in laments terms)
Hints: Some deals are for dine-in only (no take-away) so read the T&C’s for each deal carefully. We would also recommend you clearly indicate you will be using the app when booking your table / appointment and arriving at your venue so that your service providers are aware and guys… be kind, when being served we would suggest that you kindly tip on the full menu item prices.
Savings is the name of the game here and we know Durbanite’s LOVE a good savings!!
