How Try Guide works
A directory of 2SLGBTIA+ owned and affirming businesses. Browsing is always free, and signing up is free right now, which unlocks every deal for a year.
How it works
Four steps from browsing to redeeming.
01
Browse free
Explore businesses and see every deal. Terms stay locked until you join.
02
Sign up free
Signing up is free right now and unlocks all the deals for a year.
03
Reveal
Once you are a member, open any deal to see its full terms and your coupon.
04
Redeem on your phone
In store, open your coupon and tap to start a live screen you show the staff. Online, copy the code or open the link. No app, no scanning.
FAQ
Questions members ask.
Is browsing free?
Yes. Anyone can browse and see what deals exist. You only join to unlock and use them.
What does it cost to join?
Nothing right now. Joining is free and gets you a full year of access to every deal.
How do I sign in?
With your email and a one-time code we send you. No password to remember.
How do I unlock a deal?
Join, then open any deal page. Your coupon and full terms appear automatically.
How do I redeem a deal in store?
Open the coupon on your phone and tap to start. You will see a live screen with a ticking clock to show the staff, then tap yes once you have used it. Staff do not need an app, an account, or to scan anything.
How do I redeem an online deal?
Open the coupon to get the code or link, use it at checkout on the business's site, then confirm you were able to use it.
Can I use a deal more than once?
Most deals can be redeemed once. Some are ongoing, so you can redeem them again about a year after your last use, and the deal page shows the date it becomes available again.
Something went wrong at the counter. What do I do?
On the coupon screen, choose “No, something went wrong” and pick a reason. That flags it for the business and does not use up your coupon.
Where do I find a coupon I already revealed?
Your active coupons show on your account page, and you get a receipt link right after you redeem.
How long does my membership last?
A full year from when you join, free. There is nothing to manage or cancel, and you can keep browsing anytime.
When does it renew?
Your free year runs for one year after you join.
