Hawaii's Entertainment BookThe and Hawaii ... Travel Ezine, dated 04/05/02, by Lisa Weber01. Hawaii's Entertainment BookI always review this year's book here: Hawaii entertainment book review If you've ever used an Entertainment Book in a city or state you'll be happy to know that Hawaii has its own book providing deals on all the islands. It's not much good on Molokai or Lanai, but there are plenty of discounts to go around on the other four islands.I bought the 2002 book from the Here's what's in it: Frequent Values You can get most frequent values anywhere, not just in Hawaii, over and over again until the card expires. To get a listing of frequent values in your area, visit the website and click on frequent values on the left. Fine Dining There are about 60 fine dining offers, most on Oahu but a few on the Big Island and several on Maui. Most of them are along the lines of "one free dinner entree when a second is purchased" with several of the entrees being worth over $20 (more than half paid for itself if you use it just once). Most of these offers are only good once per restaurant. Casual Dining Over 90 restaurants participate in these coupons, again, most on Oahu but with one on Molokai, four on Kauai, 8 on the Big Island, and many on Maui. Examples are up to $10 off a lunch or dinner entree when a second entree is purchased at bar and grills, thai restaurants, cafes, and seafood places. Informal Dining Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Dairy Queen, 7-11, Wendy's, and more grace this list. Second meals, sandwiches, and drinks free. National Values Next is the national values like 15% off Northwest and Continental fares over a certain dollar amount; free upgrades and money off several car rentals; Amtrak fare deals; hundreds of dollars off cruises; theme park discounts; monry off flower rentals; Hollywood Video rental deals; and coupons for purchases at target.com, and Meineke savings. Hotel and Resort Savings 50% off the rack rates at several hotel chains like Best Western, Days Inn, Ramada, and Howard Johnson. Unfortunately, there aren't many of these in Hawaii, but here you'll get savings at 22 hotels on all the islands - several Aston hotels and others. Apparantly there are some blackout dates and restrictions. Aloha Airlines $40 of a round-trip inter-island ticket for certain fare rates. Attractions/Activities Several deals around the islands like at the Polynesian Cultural Center on Oahu, Germaines Luau on Oahu, UFO Parasail on Maui, dolphin and whale watches on the Big Island, and Wailua River Kayak adventure on Kauai. Many of these are only good if another ticket at regular price is bought and other restrictions sometimes apply - like they may not be valid on holidays. Merchandise and Local Services Flowers, clothes, haircuts, limousine rentals, video rentals, art prints, and movie tickets savings. Discounts and coupons that look very interesting to me are:
