Deals & Vouchers
About Vouchers
When you bought a deal on the website, we sent you a voucher redeemable for the goods or services listed. You can check the What You Need to Know section of individual deals for redemption instructions, merchant and ticket provider contact information, purchase limits, expiration dates, and more.
Most vouchers require that you use the entire value in a single visit, but some businesses allow partial uses of vouchers. There are often different expiration terms for the paid and promotional values of a deal. The paid value, or dollar amount you paid, usually expires after the promotional value. The promotional value is the amount listed next to Savings on the deal. If the promotional value has expired but the paid value hasn't, the merchant must still honor use of the paid value. You may need to pay the difference between the paid value and the full price, though.
In all states, the paid value will remain valid for up to five years. Due to state requirements that prohibit expiration periods, the paid value won't expire in California, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, and Washington.
Note: If you've redeemed a coupon on Amazon Local instead of a voucher, the entire offer will expire at the time listed when you redeemed the coupon.
If you have any questions about your voucher, please contact the merchant. If you have any questions about seating or the pick-up name on your ticket for an event deal, you can contact the ticket provider.
Refund Policy
About Our Refund Policy
Most unused vouchers are eligible for a refund within 30 days of purchase. If a business closes permanently, we will always refund any unused vouchers. Your refund request will be processed to the original payment method instantly. However, it may take 2-3 business days for it to display on your credit card statement.
Refunds are subject to the business's policy, which can be found in the "What You Need to Know" section of every travel offer. If you have met the conditions and would like a refund, fill out either the phone or email contact information in the "Contact us" section on this page.

Information You Can Access
Creating a MySQL DB Instance and Connecting to a Database on a MySQL DB Instance
The easiest way to create a DB instance is to use the AWS Management Console. After you have created the DB instance, you can use standard MySQL utilities such as MySQL Workbench to connect to a database on the DB instance.
Before you can create or connect to a DB instance, you must complete the tasks in Setting Up for Amazon RDS.
Topics
Creating a MySQL DB Instance
The basic building block of Amazon RDS is the DB instance. This environment is where you run your MySQL databases.
A new console interface is available for database creation. Choose either the New Console or the Original Console instructions based on the console that you are using. The New Console instructions are open by default.
You can create a DB instance running MySQL with the AWS Management Console with Easy Create enabled or disabled. With Easy Create enabled, you specify only the DB engine type, DB instance size, and DB instance identifier. Easy Create uses the default setting for other configuration options. With Easy Create not enabled, you specify more configuration options when you create a database, including ones for availability, security, backups, and maintenance.
In this example, you use Easy Create to create a DB instance running the MySQL database engine with a db. t2.micro DB instance class.
For information about creating a MySQL DB instance with Easy Create not enabled, see Creating a DB Instance Running the MySQL Database Engine.
To create a MySQL DB instance with Easy Create enabled
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console. aws. amazon. com/rds/.
In the upper-right corner of the Amazon RDS console, choose the AWS Region in which you want to create the DB instance.
In the navigation pane, choose Databases.
Choose Create database and make sure that Easy Create is chosen.
In Configuration, choose MySQL.
For DB instance size, choose Free tier.
For DB instance identifier, enter a name for the DB instance, or leave the default name.
For Master username, enter a name for the master user, or leave the default name.
The Create database page should look similar to the following image.
To use an automatically generated master password for the DB instance, enable Auto generate a password.
To enter your master password, disable Auto generate a password, and then enter the same password in Master password and Confirm password.
(Optional) Open View default settings for Easy create.
You can examine the default settings used when Easy Create is enabled. If you want to change one or more settings during database creation, choose Standard Create to set them. The Editable after database creation column shows which options you can change after database creation. To change a setting with No in that column, use Standard Create. For settings with Yes in that column, you can either use Standard Create or modify the DB instance after it is created to change the setting.
Choose Create database.
If you chose to use an automatically generated password, the View credential details button appears on the Databases page.
To view the master username and password for the DB instance, choose View credential details.
You can use the username and password that appears to connect to the DB instance as the master user.
You won't be able to view master user password again. If you don't record it, you might have to change it. If you need to change the master user password after the DB instance is available, you can modify the DB instance to do so. For more information about modifying a DB instance, see Modifying a DB Instance Running the MySQL Database Engine.
In the Databases list, choose the name of the new MySQL DB instance.
On the RDS console, the details for new DB instance appear. The DB instance has a status of Creating until the DB instance is ready to use. When the state changes to Available, you can connect to the DB instance. Depending on the DB instance class and the amount of storage, it can take up to 20 minutes before the new instance is available.
In this example, you create a DB instance running the MySQL database engine called mysql-instance1, with a db. m1.small DB instance class, 20 GiB of storage, and automated backups enabled with a retention period of one day.
To create a MySQL DB instance
Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Amazon RDS console at https://console. aws. amazon. com/rds/.
In the top right corner of the Amazon RDS console, choose the AWS Region in which you want to create the DB instance.
In the navigation pane, choose Databases.
If the navigation pane is closed, choose the menu icon at the top left to open it.
Choose Create database. The Select engine page opens.
Choose MySQL, and then choose Next.
The Choose use case page asks if you are planning to use the DB instance you are creating for production. Choose Dev/Test and then choose Next.
On the Specify DB Details page, specify your DB instance information. The following table shows settings for an example DB instance. When the settings are as you want them, choose Next.
