What it does: It"s a new deal platform that lets you choose five restaurant, activity and/or tour coupons for Hawaii, San Francisco and Seattle for a $5 fee.

What"s hot: It"s terrific for those who buy entertainment coupon books. The deals are similar, with $5, $7, $10 or 15% savings. Keep an eye on it — you could find some deals worthy of your Abraham Lincoln.

What"s not: Great idea, but the deals are not compelling. A buy-one-dessert, get-the-second-free deal at a San Francisco restaurant with just three stars on Yelp doesn"t have me itching to pay. With a little research, a traveler could find similar deals in
