You may use Rush49 Credit toward the purchase of our deals. Some restrictions may apply. Please refer to the restrictions on the specific deal that you would like to redeem.

No. You will have to enter your name and email address so that we can send you an email confirmation of your order, but you do not have to create a Rush49 account in order to buy our deals. We tie vouchers from all guest purchases to the email address entered at the time of purchase.

When you receive the confirmation of your purchase in your inbox, you will find inside the email a personalized link that you can use to view and print vouchers for all deals you have purchased from us:

That link will take you directly to the voucher list within the Rush49 site.

So, you found a deal you like and want to purchase?

Here's how to purchase that deal from our website (although we hope that you find our checkout to be self-explanatory):

First...

Click on the beige Buy Now button.

Step 1: Account Details

If you are not currently logged in to Rush49 as a registered member, you will be taken to Step 1 of the three step purchase process, where you can log in (existing members), sign up (new members), or just skip to Step 2 (guests). If you are already logged in, this step will be bypassed.

If you choose to purchase as a guest, Rush49 will ask you for your name and email address, which we need to be able to send you your deal confirmation email. You will have to fill that out before moving to Step 2.

Step 2: Order Details

Now that we know who you are, Step 2 is where you let us know how many vouchers you want to purchase for this deal, whether you are purchasing this deal as a gift, and it is also where you would enter any promotional or coupon codes you may have for this deal.

Step 3: Payment

As indicated, this is where you let us know how you will be paying for this deal. If you have built up any Rush49 Credit from referrals, or if you have accrued enough Rush49 Reward Points to pay for part of all of the deal (earned by sharing our deals as described in the Reward & Referral Program> FAQ topic), the total due will reflect those credits, which could make the amount due less than the cost of the deal.

Note: We accept all major credit cards for purchases, and additionally we accept payment via PayPal.

Once your purchase is Complete

We will send you confirmation of your purchase via email. Our email delivery statistics are very good, but it is a good idea to add support@rush49.com to your address book (or safe sender list) so our emails don't find themselves being sent to your spam or junk mail folders.

To view your Vouchers immediately after purchase...

Click on the Voucher Codes & Instructions button that you will see on the Order Complete screen, which is displayed once your payment has been processed:

To view your Vouchers at a later time or date...

If there is a problem processing your purchase, Rush49 displays a warning box along with a short explanation of the problem that occurred. The following is a list of the most common errors along with possible actions you can take to correct or resolve the problem.

The credit card number is invalid.
The credit card expiration date is invalid.
The credit card has expired.

For these errors, first check the card number and expiration date entered on the payment screen to ensure they are all accurate and contain no typos. If you find an error, fix it and then attempt to complete your order by clicking on the Complete Order button.

Of course, if the card information is correct but the card is expired, you will have to use a different credit card to make your purchase.

The Card Code (CVV2/CVC2/CID) is invalid.

For security reasons, in addition to the credit card number and expiration date, Rush49 requires purchasers to enter the CVV2 number, a 3 digit (Visa, M/C & Discover) or 4 digit (Amex) number printed on the credit card.

The following image shows where you can find the CVV2 number on your credit card:

Remember, for Visa, MasterCard and Discover, the 3 digit number is on the back of the card, and for American Express, the 4 digit number is on the front of the card.

The transaction resulted in an AVS mismatch.
The address provided does not match billing address of cardholder.

For your protection, Rush49 requires you to enter the street address and ZIP code tied to your credit card.

If they do not match the billing address maintained by the credit card company, the purchase will not go through.

If you get this error, first check to make sure that the address and ZIP code entered at Rush49 is correct. Remember, it is the billing address, which may or may not be the same as your home address.

Note for credit cards with non-US billing addresses: If the billing address for your credit card is outside of the United States, that will frequently cause an address error. If you have verified that your non-US address has been properly entered and Rush49 will not process the purchase, you will have to use PayPal to complete your purchase. PayPal's versatile payment system is very often able to approve and complete purchases not allowed by our credit card processor.

This transaction has been declined.

There are several reasons why a purchase might be declined even if you have more than enough credit left on your credit card to make the purchase.

If you have reached your credit limit...

You will need to use a different credit card to make your purchase.

If you have credit for the purchase but the transaction was still declined...

It may be that the purchase is for a large amount but your bank does not have any purchase history with Rush49, and that may cause them to decline the purchase or put the purchase on hold.

If you think this may be the case, you may need to call your bank (using the phone number on your credit card) and inquire as to whether this is the case. There may be other reasons for a bank to decline a transaction, be sure to call them and ask for an explanation if you know you have enough credit for the purchase.

In addition to errors processing a payment at Rush49, there are a number of other reasons why Rush49 might be unable to complete your purchase.

The following is a list of the most common non-payment-related errors and what they mean:

Unfortunately this deal is not yet live, so confirmation of your order might be delayed for 24 hours. Please contact support@rush49.com for additional help. Allow up to one business day for a reply.

At Rush49, our deals are offered starting at a specific date and time and ending at a specific date and time, and deals can only be purchase when they are active in our system.

On occasion, it is possible for a deal to be promoted prior to it being offered, so if you receive this error message when trying to complete a purchase, you should check the deal to see when it will officially be offered for sale.

Keep in mind that this error will only be returned if the deal is already scheduled to be offered at the site, so we recommend you check back and complete your purchase once the deal goes live.

Unfortunately this deal has expired. We will attempt to complete your transaction within 24 hours. Please contact support@rush49.com for additional help. Allow up to one business day for a reply.

As mentioned above, deals at Rush49 are offered for limited amounts of time. Once the time is up, the deal cannot be purchased unless we offer that same deal at a future date.

Note: We always do our best to allow our members to purchase deals that they want, and for some deals, especially non-event deals (services, experiences), we can often contact the merchant in question and have them approve the sale. If you want it, and want it bad, call our toll free number and we will see what we can do to get you the deal you want to purchase.

Keep in mind: Our merchant partners often run the same deals from time to time, so if a particular deal is expired when you attempt to purchase it, keep in mind that the same deal may be offered at a later date. If you want to be notified, via email, when the deal is once again being offered, be sure to set a reminder using the reminder icon that you will see on the deal page:

Unfortunately, the maximum allowed vouchers have already been purchased for this deal. We are working on resolving this problem asap. Please call (877) 827 5017.

Many of the deals at Rush49 have limits on the number of vouchers being sold, so if you get this error message when trying to purchase a deal, that means there are currently no more vouchers left to sell.

Be sure to check back later: When our deals sell out, we normally contact our merchant partners to see if they want to increase the number they are willing to sell. As a result, we recommend you check back later (or the next day) to see if more vouchers have been added to the deal.

Get on the Wait List: The easy and smart alternative when a deal is sold out is to add yourself to the Wait List by clicking on the Waitlist Icon:

When more vouchers are made available, we will send out email notifications to folks on the Wait List (in the order they signed up) letting them know the deal is once again available. In addition, even if more vouchers are not added, anyone on the Wait List will be notified down the line if we offer that deal at a later date.

Unfortunately there are not enough vouchers available to complete this order. Please contact support@rush49.com for additional help. Allow up to one business day for a reply.

If you are attempting to purchase more vouchers than we have left to sell, Rush49 will give you this message. It does not mean there are zero left to purchase, but it does mean that there are not as many available as you want.

Remember, before you purchase a deal you need to select the quantity that you want to buy, as shown in the following image:

If you get this error, either reduce the quantity and try again, or call us at our toll free number and we will see what we can do to fill your order or add more vouchers.

To safeguard purchases made on our site, we require customers to enter their name, address and the card CVN (Card Verification Number) or security code. If any information associated with the credit card account is a mismatch, the payment will be declined. In other words, the address (and other info) entered must match the address associated with the credit card account or the payment will be declined.

As a matter of procedure, credit card issuers often place a temporary hold on funds during a transaction. This hold will be visible on the credit card statement. However, if the charge is declined, the hold will be cleared within one business day.

When a purchase is declined, Rush49 will notify the customer of the reason. If the transaction was declined for other than insufficient funds, the customer is encouraged to correct the errors and try again.

If, however, the transaction is still declined, Rush49 recommends either trying Paypal or please contact support@rush49.com for additional help. Allow up to one business day for a reply. We will be happy to assist you.

In addition, Rush49 allows customers to access their purchased vouchers any time by logging into our Rush49 web site. Please note that some exceptions apply, so please follow the instructions in your order confirmation email.

Once the expiration date is reached only the promotional value expires but the paid value is valid for at least 5 years. But, we encourage merchants to honor the full promotional value out of good will.

Some exceptions apply on event-related deals and special deals and those restrictions are clearly stated on the deal. If you have already placed your order and would like to know the restrictions on the deal then refer to the confirmation email sent to you.

Depending on the deal, some will just be valid on or until a certain date and time, but we will make sure to clearly highlight that information to you before you buy.

For online deals that need to be redeemed on our merchants' site, please refer to the instructions in the confirmation email along with the Rush49 voucher code(s).

For all other deals, login to Rush49 My Account section and print out the desired voucher(s). Contact us at anytime if you require help.

It is the duty of every merchant to collect and remit tax accordingly to the applicable local laws. The promotional value of Rush49 vouchers may not be used towards paying applicable taxes.

You will not be able to receive store credit or cash back for any remainder value of the voucher. However, some exceptions apply. One example is the use of a Rush49 voucher for multiple health related treatments/sessions which may not be used all at once. The restrictions/redeem instructions on the deal usually clarify this point. If you are still having doubts, please contact us here.

Rush49 will show you your remaining vouchers as well as the already used ones. When you are logged into our Rush49 site/apps refer to the My Account section which has your vouchers organized into Unused, Used, Gifts Purchased and Gifts Received.
