Products[edit]
Samaritan Card[edit]
The Samaritan Card is a wallet-size shopping discount card that allows its user access to discounts at over 100,000 participating merchants nationwide.
Users access the discounts through the use of the Samaritan Saver website, from which they can download and print coupons for local and national companies as well as shop online and receive instant savings. The actual wallet-size card is not necessary at the participating merchant, but the pre-printed coupons are. Many of the discounts are also available from the merchants' websites without the card, and the size of the discounts is relatively small for many of the merchants.
