I have had an ID card now for 3 years and I love it. We eat out a lot so this is one easy way to cut our cost of living. I made my money back in no time, and knowing I could save a little trying new places made it easier to try them. I love the ID card so much I recommended it for a fundraiser - and it was very successful! Working with Shawn, Anita and Randy was no effort at all - everything was so simple and the incentive is built right in! My advice to you if you're thinking of picking a card up is - DO IT! If you want a little discount on the price find an organization that's running the fundraiser and help them out. Then stick that card in your wallet, register your email address, and live large!

Shawn is AWESOME! The end. Well not really the end. The iDcard is pretty frickin' awesome as well. I think I got my first iDcard in 2012 through a fundraiser with one of my nursing classmates. I loved it then, and still love it. You buy the iDcard for $30 or $20 (depending who/where you're purchasing it from) but either way it pays for itself with all the money you save. It gave me an opportunity to try new restaurants and ones that I've never been. Now I continue visiting those places since the discount is so great! I think it's great that the card is now valid for one year from the day you redeem it, and no longer the calendar year. So, I met Shawn personally when my organization wanted to fundraise with the iDcard. Card would sell for $30. The breakdown was $16 to iDcard and $14 to our group for each card sold. I thought that was a pretty sweet deal. But, my group wasn't very good at selling it. My guess was mainly because they couldn't benefit from the card themselves (this is a group of older Filipino ladies who like to party but don't go "out" much) so convincing someone else to buy it from them was probably too hard. I should have figured that out before going through with it, but I loved the card enough to try! We didn't do too hot, especially since someone in the circle was fundraising with the Entertainment Booklet for one of their kids, and around the same time! Grrrr. Well, I know this card appeals well to the younger generations so I was able to get around. But, I still ended up with returned vouchers from those who were unable to sell. Shawn was super cool about it and I was able to return whatever I was not able to sell. He even made the trip to meet up with me for the exchange which was convenient. Just make sure you fulfill your end of the deal and don't hoard vouchers that were unsold or you'll end up with problems. These new voucher things have expiration dates to which you need to redeem your card by! Thanks again to Shawn for handling my issues with that in a SUPER COOL way. I swear this guy is generous. Anyways, I was able to get my friends into the iDcard by helping pay for lunch/dinner or whatever's since some discounts can apply to more than 1 person! To be honest, it's a necessity and I feel that it could appeal to these older Filipino ladies in my group if I just better convince them of what they can get out of it. I'm obviously not the best sales person. Maybe I could take some of them out to dinner and use the card so they could see the magic happen. Seriously though, any Filipino would LOVE to save money! This card definitely helps! You need it in your life. The end.

I must preface this review by saying that the actual iDcard itself is wonderful. I enjoyed discounts at many locations for several months and told everyone I knew about it. However, the CEO of iDcard changed my positive view of the company, which is why I cannot recommend my support for his business. The owner of the company enjoys doing online competitions for prizes. I participated in several of these contests and received some great prizes as a result. Therefore, I was very confused when he refused to honor one of my prizes: a meal with a friend to a nice Honolulu restaurant, citing a falling-out with his former web designer, an event that had absolutely nothing to do with me or the redemption of the prize. Our exchange ended with the phrase, "Let it go. You have received plenty from me. Unreal." (This is a direct quote from our online conversation on Facebook, during which I simply and respectfully tried to find out why this event meant that I was no longer eligible for my prize.) I shared my negative experience on Facebook, which is when the owner became extremely hostile, even reporting the post to Facebook, even though there was nothing in the post that violated the Facebook Community Guidelines. The owner wrote in the public comments on the original posting that he no longer wished to have my support for his business and that I should never purchase an iDcard in the future. (I can assure him that this will not be a problem.) I would like to share my Facebook posting here, minus the image of the original conversation that I had with the owner, as he used profanity during the conversation: __________________________________________________________ I am sad to say that I will no longer be an iDcard supporter. Some of you may remember that you "liked" my status in a contest a few months ago in order to win a meal with a friend. I contacted [the CEO] about the prize upon returning from my summer trip and was met with unnecessary personal hostility, as you can see in the image of the exchange. [Image not posted here, but see the quote above.] I'm disappointed that [the owner] allowed his personal feelings about someone who has nothing to do with me get in the way of being respectful to a loyal business supporter who has always praised and tried to support iDcard. It's not about the prize at all, which I no longer care to receive. I hope he realizes that his comments were completely uncalled for and there was no need to respond to me in this way. I am thankful for all of the prizes I have received from iDcard in the past, as [the owner] has always been very generous and kind prior to this exchange, making his hostility even more confusing. The motto of "staying cheap" should never come at the expense or respect of others. I'm sure [the owner] will block me on his personal page and write a rebuttal, which he may certainly make the choice to do, but I wanted to make this public since many of you have become supporters of iDcard through me. ___________________________________________________________ I hope that the owner learns to treat his future customers with respect and that no one ever has to face the rudeness and hostility that I did. As I previously mentioned, I have enjoyed the actual iDcard itself, but I cannot support a business with such an unprofessional and unethical CEO.

IDcard is the best discount card that I have ever bought! The card pays for itself in no time! It's the first thing I look for when deciding where to dine or detail my car or rent a Truck! I also love it also as a sponsor and appreciate the FREE Advertising that my company gets! I know that my customers enjoy the discounts! This is my second year using the Idcard and I Love It! Mahalo Nui Shawn Dohmen (the CEO of the IDcard) for all that you do! You Rock!:)

Please forgive me, Shawn (n crew)...this review is late, but still so very enthusiastic!! I met Shawn in 2013, when my client American Renaissance Academy, used the iDcard for their fundraiser. It went so well in 2013, that they repeated the fundraiser in 2014. As we get ready for the 2014-2015 school year, I am working with two different schools to get them on-board with iDcard. We'll be calling you Shawn..... I just recommended that another one of my clients advertise with Shawn. So worth it! Especially with the new website. Much easier to navigate and awesome to receive a personalized card. The discounts are super and are a great incentive to try new things!! Hurry up and go get your iDcard!
(5)Carol A.
I normally do not write reviews, however, the iDcard deserves one. I was first introduced to the iDcard through winning a contest. The savings are awesome - food, activities, and fun all packed into one iDcard that you use over and over at your favorite places and also an opportunity to do something adventurous with a discount! Who doesn't love a discount?
(5)Lei H.
The IdCard is great! The discounts you get around the islands are awesome. Hey, when you have a big family, everything and anything helps. You definitely get your money's worth fer sure. I ordered my card and got it within two days. And this card makes you venture out and try new places...love it. My kids look for the iDcard sign at stores or restaurants! Thank you, Shawn!
(5)Tina V.
The iDcard is a great discount card that gives you discounts all over the islands. From free drinks to free appetizers, the iDcard is awesome! Shawn is awesome and does great contests! Great deal on the price of the card and it pays for itself after using it just a couple of times. Some of my favorite places to use the card: Big City Diner, Teddy's Bigger Burgers, and Kincaids.
(5)Geeq M.
The iDcard is straight up a life saver. The discounts you get on not only restaurants, but also other goods and services creates savings that definitely help the wallet in this day and age. Beyond that, the owner of iDcard is generous beyond necessity. The random extra gifts, giveaways and contests you get to partake in just for being an iDcard member make this concept beyond just a business, but a relational society of iDcard members where everyone has a name and is recognized individually. I've never had an employee of any other "membership" I've been a part of send me anything outside of a form letter, let alone the owner. That's what truly makes iDcard worth it. If you don't have one yet, get one. And if you're a business that doesn't yet accept iDcard, get signed up! Out of all the "membership" "discount" options I've seen here in Hawaii, this is a truly unique concept that oozes the aloha spirit and IS Hawaii.
(5)Marian A.
I got my first iDcard as a prize from a radio contest 3 years ago and have been purchasing a new card every year since then. I look forward to visiting places that have the iDcard discount (with the exception of one place that will remain nameless). I've been able to share how great the iDcard is with friends and co-workers - now they're hooked too. The iDcard is great to have and worth every penny. :-)
(5)LW W.
I've had an iDcard since day one. I use it at the coffee shop in my building, at The Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center Food Court, and other places around town. I have also bought one for my son each year. It's really a good deal if you eat out or are active around town. I have met Sean on many occasions and I have the ultimate respect for his passion and worth ethic. He truly, truly cares! Once I saw him in his car at a red light (I was walking down the street with my husband) and pulled my iD card out of my purse and we waved it at him. He rolled down his window and thanked us for our support and then handed me a free card to give away! That's just who he is. If you going to spend money, might as well get the discounts!
(5)Stacia S.
I won my iDard in a Facebook contest along with some other awesome things! I think Shawn is pretty awesome for everything he has to offer, and the discounts rock too! My kids look out for the iDcard logo and knowing I have the card on me at all times, beg to go in said places. Keep up the awesomeness!
(5)Deez N.
Been an iDcard member since they started. Been loving all the deals ever since. I recently met Shawn Dohmen CEO/Owner of iDcard and he is a truly humble and sincere fun guy. Treated me more as a friend rather than just some customer. Really cool guy to hang with. Always has fun games with iDcard contests and lots of prizes. So if you looking for fun, and cheap deals. Pick up an iDcard and like them on Facebook and have fun!
(5)Joyce F.
Loved the ID card. It really pays for itself the first few times you use it! (And when you go to Teddy's bigger burgers a lot, you save yourself big bucks!) it's one if those useful things that I've given to friends for Christmas and birthdays. Not to mention, all those little businesses that get my 10 bucks since I can save 1.00 there!
(5)Shelly B.
Great concept and offers great savings. iDcard has numerous contests and winners offering generous gifts in quantity and quality.
(5)Andrea T.
I love using the idcard!! It has some great deals!! And now that he is expanding to other cities it's great for gifts for me to send to my friends in the mainland.... Although the website has some flaws and I'm not sure if he has the iPhone app working again.... It's easy to spot the stores that participate with the idcard cause they have the sticker on their doors... Love his motto "stay cheap" nowadays it's really hard to find some good deals and he has some really great companies that offer great deals and it's a great way for companies to advertise... Because some of these companies I have never heard about but Shawn is getting the word out by having them participate in the idcard!!! Great job Shawn and his crew!! Keep up the good work!!!
(5)Annette K.
Very strong supporter of the iDcard from the beginning!! We even used it tonight at Eggs N Things for dinner!! Great investment!! The discounts are great!!
(5)Stephanie V.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE IDCARD!! It's super easy to use.. for one low price, you have access to the best discounts on the island for an entire year. There's no huge book to lug around or coupons to clip. Best of all, you get to choose your card design, and all the designs are super cute!! My husband and I agree that our iDcards are the best looking cards in our wallets. I've used the iDcard for Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Menchie's, En Fuego, Big City Diner, Podium Raceway, Ryan's Grill, Cha Cha Cha Salsaria, Honolulu Burger Co, Papa John's, South Shore Grill, Tropical Tribe in Waikiki... and a myriad of other places. Using the iDcard is a great excuse to try out places you've never been before.. we use it all the time for date nights. :) The CEO (Cheap Executive Officer) Shawn is, hands down, THE BEST. He is super generous, fun-loving, entertaining, and overall a wonderful person. I've always been impressed with his professionalism and dedication to iDcard and its fans. I met him for the first time really briefly at an iDcard anniversary party, and we chatted for literally a minute. I bumped into him months later, and he remembered me and our conversation.. and I'm sure he talked to hundreds of people during the anniversary party! I was blown away to say the least. Whenever I see Shawn now, it's like talking to someone I've known for years. I'm very proud to call Shawn a friend. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING SHAWN! KEEP DOIN' WHAT YOU DO!! :)
(5)Karen S.
I seriously love the iDcard !! From everyday use to family \ friends visits !!! A very large selection of discounts to all the right places ! Love love love it !!!
(5)Ben G.
I love my iDcard. Having had one for the past three years, I appreciate what it does for the community. Not only does it help me to save money, it also is a great fundraising source for groups, and also a great way to promote small business. I will continue to use iDcard for as long as I can and look forward to continued benefit for all who participate.
(5)Maxx R.
The ID card is a great way to try new places OR enjoy your favorite places. They have great deals and great support. Shawn is a very personable owner and he is always working to getting satisfied customers. He also takes our concerns very seriously and does everything he can to satisfy his customers and people who participate in his program. I've had an ID card since it started and I highly recommend it.
(5)Janine B.
The iDcard has the best customer service! I sent an email because I had trouble redeeming my code online and Shawn responded so quickly and gave me the help I needed. I had an iDcard previously and the discounts are awesome and are accepted at many businesses. I can't wait to receive my new card in the mail!
(5)Ray M.
I bought a card through groupon, and ordered with them; they didnt send it our for months and then when I got it the year was near over from the time groupon sold it to when I received it. they told me they wouldnt apply it to next years card and that I had to buy this years with the price I paid for it. i dont understand why companies would put such petty things over customer service- maybe with groupons they try to get rid of their cards when theres not much time left on it and you just dont realize it when you buy it. im turning sour on small groupon merchants. yuck. but I have had some great groupon experiences on resturants; just gotta read their online reputation first i guess!
(1)R K.
Several years ago I saw the iDcard sticker on restaurant doors and windows all over town, which made me curious, but I didn't pursue it. Then I was at the Neal Blaisdell Center for a home product show and saw Castle High School selling the card for $20. What a bargain, I thought, and it benefitted the school. So I bought one and was very pleased that it led to a generous discount at my favorite burger place, Teddy's Bigger Burgers, and my favorite yogurt shop, Menchies. I've since bought a card (two actually, one for my wife and one for me) every year. Beyond the discounts, however, is the generosity of the man behind the card, Shawn Dohmen. He frequently holds crazy good contests to reward friends and followers. I myself won a card recently. When I messaged Shawn that I didn't need it, he scolded me (in a good way) and insisted I take it and give it as a gift to someone. So I did. Then several months ago, my son-in-law's very rare cancer (he was the first in Hawaii to get it; there's since been a second) returned. My daughter and her friends organized a fundraiser to help pay the anticipated bills (his drug therapy of four infusions will cost $120,000). I reached out to friends to buy tickets, make cash donations and donate items for a silent auction. Recalling Shawn's generosity, I reached out to him and he immediately, without hesitation, responded with iDcard gift packs worth $1,500. Wow! I can't say enough about the card, the company and the man. If you're on Yelp to consider buying the iDcard, I think you will find it worth every penny and, in fact, worth much more. Aloha!

I want to thank Shawn Dohmen for going out of his way to help me. I bought a Living Social deal online for 2 iDcards and had major issues redeeming it. I was ready to get a refund because Living Social said it's not on their end. I messaged Shawn on Facebook and explained the situation and told him I bought that deal purposely for my trip to Oahu. He jumped right on it and even called me when I landed on Oahu that evening! I thought that was awesome for a CEO for personally calling a customer! He made arrangements to get my cards printed and personally delivered to me the very next day. Shawn called when it was ready and I ended up picking up my cards, since I was in the area and got to meet is amazing office person Randy.....very friendly and very welcoming. They even gave me an extra card to share with a family or friend for the trouble I had with redeeming my deal! OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE....OUTSTANDING COMPANY!!!! I now live off island (wish had more merchants here), but I still LOVE having the iDcard to keep it cheap when I travel to Oahu. THANK YOU THANK YOU Shawn and Randy!!!!
(5)Lori K.
Best discount card by far!!! I've had a card since the beginning and it just keeps getting better!!!
(5)Melissa L.
Personal favorite. I've had cards from 2012 till this current year. We use it a lot at Menchies and Teddys, its just trying to remember to use it is a different story. A lot of the vendors have time periods in which you can get discount and the website does need a lot of work but overall its a great card.
(5)James C.
I'm a iDcard member and supporter. I love the benefits, the discounts and savings when using the card. I have to say a really BIG thank you to Mr. Shawn Dohmen for encouraging us locals to "Stay Cheap!" while venturing out there in paradise. I still have yet to explore and try more businesses and restaurants where they honor iDcard. And also closely watch for any personal invitation where Shawn holds promotions and events in certain places and personally meet up and chat with him. Keep up the great work Shawn and keep the peace, keep the Aloha and stay cheap!
(5)Jax O.
iDcard is awesome. I use it at different locations around Oahu. I love it when I can save a penny! CEO, Shawn, is amazing and cares a lot about his iDcard users. He is passionate about his business and it shows. He provides many opportunities to his iDcard users with constant fun scavenger hunts and contests. He's extremely generous with his prizes for those who wish to participate. He is the perfect boss! For those who are giving this business a bad rating is truly mistaken. Don't listen to the negative remarks on here....it's truly an amazing discount card. See for yourself, you won't be disappointed!
(5)Alexis A.
I love the ID card!!! I've been on Oahu for 2 years and it has been a really great investment. I use the ID card almost every time I eat out and it has also introduced me to many fun activities on the island. I have found new yoga studios that I love and gym discounts using the ID card. Also Shawn is just awesome!!! Feels good to support a solid good local business. I definitely plan on continuing to buy the ID card in years to come... :)
(5)Beth B.
By far some of the greatest deals! I'm a "thrifty" person by nature, so it's nice to have a card that gets me discounts at many, many places on the island! Ingenius idea, really.
(5)Dana S.
IDCard pays for itself and more with what you save in goods and services with it. I love it and I love saving $. I recommend getting an IDCard to everyone I know.
(5)Debra P.
This may be a good service but since I bought on Sunday 6/29 and could get to their site that day (site not available). On Monday I called and was told they launched a new website and in the process damaged their shop area but it would be up later Monday. On Tuesday I called again and was told 2-3 days. Friday is 7/4 so that probably means not till 7/7. I know there are deals but my customer interaction with the company tells me I threw 35 dollars in the trash. I don't recommend this stress on a vacation. The shop site is up on 7/3 and with help from the office my order is in. I am looking forward to getting and using my card. Thank you
(4)Zoe T.
Just picked up my iDcard and they are awesome. If you haven't been to the office, you'll have to make time and visit them. The have a flooring made with pennies. I give Shawn credit for doing this. It's amazing. This is my first iDcard and I'm looking forward to using it. Thank you Shawn!
(5)Chasity T.
IDcard is awesome! So many places accept it, so there's plenty of discounts! I use mine all the time! Definitely recommend getting one, as it is really worth it! Fav places to use it is Teddy's, Menchie's, & Diamond Head Kitchen. Great discounts, great customer service, & the CEO (Shawn) is pretty cool too! :)
(5)Hnl -.
ID Card is Awesome. So is Shawn. He truly wants to save people money. It's great so I only have to carry around 1 card, instead of a book of coupons. And it's more discreet.
(5)Julie C.
The iDcard is wonderful! I first learned about the iDcard in 2012 and that's when I bought my first card. I have bought the iDcard every year now for three years. The nice thing about the iDcard is that it is good for a whole year. You can use all the deals multiple times throughout the year. In this way it is different from the entertainment book where you can only use the special one time. Our favorite places to go to use the iDcard are Teddy's Burgers, Kincaid's and Menchie's. The CEO Shawn is also extremely personable!! We actually ran into him at Menchie's. My daughter went over to talk to him, and he gave her her own personal ID card!
(5)Anna S.
As a visitor to Hawaii, I was so happy to have idcard in my pocket!!! I was very lucky to visit the places that he has on his roster -- MOST IMPORTANTLY, i loved the South Shore Grill where I got the best fish tacos I've ever had. I also ate all the 15 cookies (hey vacation!) that I bought to take home (oops!)....There are so many great places on his list for IDcard that I will have to come back soon! This is the best thing anyone could ask for....I am so lucky. I highly recommend this for anyone even if they are just here for a week or so!!! Definitely make sure you get one!
(5)Jennifer N.
Love the iDcard! I don't need to cut coupons or get frustrated when I'm already out and want to go somewhere I have a coupon for only to realize I didn't bring it with me - the iDcard is all I need! So naturally, when fundraising came up at a PTO meeting I suggested the IDcard. The owner himself came to explain the program to our PTO members - such personal service! The staff was friendly and helpful. The fundraiser was fun, easy, successful, and ran smoothly - the iDcard practically sold itself! I also appreciate that the owner emails every Friday to give updates on discounts and even runs fun, different contests for iDcard holders - showing appreciation to loyal customers like me! Highly recommended!
(5)Kami Y.
I actually discovered the iDcard a few years ago at the Yogurtland in Hawaii Kai!! After purchasing one and saving an instant 15% off of my yogurts for my Family!! I was well on my way to saving tons of $$$ Money!! I was so amazed to see how many places took the iDcard and now it has expanded to over 700 different businesses just alone in Hawaii!! Check out theidcard.com for a list of all of the merchants!! It is so worth the $20!! It is good for one year from the purchase date and you can redeem it online or in the iDcard store at 1050 Ala Moana Blvd. Suite #2500 at Ward Warehouse. They have beautiful designs and it is now embossed with your name!! It pays for itself after a few times. Here are just a few of the places that accept it...Jelly's, Teddy's Bigger Burgers, YogurStory, ShAloha, Frostcity, Eggs 'n things, Uncle Clay's House of Pure Aloha, Earl sandwich, Arancino di Mare, Island Guitars, Hokkaido Ramen, Himalayan Kitchen, Papa John's, Kaka'ako Kitchen, South Shore Grill, etc. I met the owner, Shawn Dohmen a few years back when my Mom and I signed up our Family business, Jelly's, yes the one that sells Comics, Books, Games, Graphic Novels, Toys, LP's, 45's, Cd's, DVD's, 8-tracks, 4-tracks, VHS, Incense, Candy, etc. for our customers you get a 15% off discount when spending $15 or more on used merchandise (not including consignment items and comic supplies) for iDcard members only!! And can I say we paid nothing at all to advertise with him. It was Free99. That is unheard of these days!! He has the best customer service and every November 1st has an anniversary party for all of the old iDcard, new iDcard and soon to be iDcard members and provides discounted iDcards, food, games, and Prizes!! Let's just say that Shawn Dohmen is one of the nicest, genuine, kind hearted, funny, generous people around, well besides my Mom, Lily anyways!! He will always have my support 110%!! It makes the best gifts and presents too!! And I just found out the iDcard is now accepted at Square Barrels in Downtown!! Can't wait to try their Burgers, Pastas, Appetizers, and Fries cooked in pig fat or rice bran oil. You had me at Pig Fat oil!! Mmmm iDcard is Best discount card ever made!! So Thankful to Shawn Dohmen for saving us money, money, money!!! If you don't have an iDcard then get one. You'll start saving money in Hawaii and in Nevada!!
(5)Christine S.
iDcard is hands down one of the best investments any local can make. I've had once since the company opened and just can't imagine not having it. Shawn is the owner and CEO. The man has the biggest heart you could possibly imagine. Always willing to help his customers and always looking for the next deal. i wish i could give this company more than 5 stars!
(5)Kirsten R.
I love my Idcard, no matter where I go in Hawaii or even in Las Vegas there is always somewhere that accepts it.. Shawn, the CEO is great too always caring and trying to help us out! My favorite places that I have used my card so far has to be Shakey's Pizza Parlor & Chili's Restaurant Bar & Grill. Did I add that Shawn Dohmen is AWESOME!!!!! ;) ALL THE WAY!!!
(5)R. K.
Great people whose mission is to help others save money. What's not to like? These guys are great. And very generous!
(5)Crissy K.
iDcard is awesome! I really don't know what to say that hasn't already been said. I use my iDcard all the time. It's amazing how much difference a 10% discount can make at a retailer like The Running Room, where you're easily otherwise spending over $100 on a pair of running shoes. And a free appetizer at The Counter? Yes, please. And it's always no-fuss. Couldn't be easier. Here's the "secret": The iDcard is an especially great deal if you buy your card during the Black Friday/Christmas shopping season, when Shawn and Randy go all out and offer super package deals (as in, you get each iDcard for $10) with tons of extras. With the way the card works now (you buy a scratch card that has a code you can use to redeem for a new card when your current one expires), you can buy it during deal time even if you don't need it at that time, and then you have up to a year to redeem that scratch card for a legit iDcard -- so unless you lose your scratch card, there is no way you can lose! These make super -- and, might I say, economical -- gifts for local friends, family, co-workers, etc. Shawn and Randy are great at customer service. Shawn in particular is self-deprecating and totally whack and approachable. Even when iDcard was going through some really dark times with a web developer who basically stole the company's website, Shawn and Randy worked extra hard to keep things going and fulfill their obligations to their subscribers -- and it worked! When iDcard got started, I have to admit: I was a little skeptical. But it's been around for several years now, and Shawn especially has proven that he will do whatever it takes to "stay cheap," as is his motto -- and pass the bargains on to iDcard customers. As long as this card is around, I'm going to be a cardholder!
(5)Eva R.
Awesome Awesome Awesome! Everything about the iDcard is amazing. I use mine at least once a week and get great discounts. The app lets you know what's close to you or you can search by discount type. Shawn is one of the nicest, funniest people I've ever met and I am so happy to support this great business. Get one and as Shawn says "start living the good life for less!" Thanks IDcard for making Hawaii a little more affordable for all of us!
(5)Tricia M.
I've been a big fan/supporter of the IDcard for the past 2 years. You can't beat it!! From my experiences, the IDCard discount is more widely accepted than the military discount on island. Shawn, the CEO, is awesome! He is very generous (IDcard promos) and always willing to provide great customer service. When I received my current IDcard, I couldn't figure out how to register it. He contacted me right away and assisted me in registering my card. You can't beat that personable service!!
(5)Chris P.
iDcard is great! Not only is it the best discount card around for Hawaii, but the company itself has provided so many opportunities to give back to the community. Shawn Dohmen, CEO of iDcard gives back to his followers constantly, really holding up his title of Cheap Executive Officer. Although I no longer live in Hawaii, you bet your A$$ i'll get a card as soon as I visit. Even in a week you can rack up enough discounts to pay for the card! :)

The iDcard is awesome ! The discounts that it provides has saved me a pocketful of $ already and I have only begun to explore the savings! There are a lot of places one can save money at when you are solo...places I enjoy in a group or as a single...like Kakaako Kitchen, Menchie's, a multitude of burger places! I am enjoying rediscovering some ole favorites like Honolulu Burger Company, The Counter, Teddy's Bigger Burgers, Big City Diner, and, enjoying the adventure of trying new places...all at an iDcard discount !! Their website says the new iPhone app will be coming out in the next couple of weeks. The Google app to follow...that's gonna help make it easier to save more on the iDcard! Right now with the (4th) anniversary special and ridiculously low special prices on the card itself...no reason not to get one ! Hurry tho, special card prices ends in a few weeks. The iDcard can be purchased online or in person. Sometimes special contests or promos require you to go into the office...like their anniversary raffle going on right now for some sweet stand up paddleboards and gopro cameras. Their office is easy to access @ Ward Warehouse where there is tons of free parking and easy to find on the 2nd floor, makai side, of the complex...use the escalators just in front of the Liquor Collection and they will take you right outside of their door! Happy saving ! Stay cheap. :)

Picked up my IDcards to fundraise my boys basketball team. So easy to sell especially with the new apps and rewards you can earn. It's already the best discount card ever, but now you can earn points when you check in at different places, and earn rewards. Unbeatable!!! I sold one 5 minutes after I walked out the door. Thank you

Just picked up my awesome iDcard!! Shawn and Randy helped me at the office and let me just say "great customer service" guys!! Not only was service super efficient but I also had a blast chatting about all the wonderful iDcard discounts and life in general :-). Shawn also gave me a quick insider look at the new iDcard app. Can't wait for the app to be ready - it will make finding discounts so darn easy. I now look forward to enjoying some great meals and activities, while racking up my savings. Thanks Shawn and the entire iDcard team for doing such an fantastic job saving us so much $$ P.S. Mahalo Shawn for all the extra bonuses!! You rock!! Can't wait to more laughs on FB now. LOL

I ordered three iDcards on May 13th and received them in my mailbox by May 15th. There was a misspelling on one of the cards and I called to explain the situation. I believe I spoke with the owner Shawn, who apologized for the error and assured me he'd have new cards in the mail right away. I was planning to gift two of the cards for graduation gifts and arranged to pick them up personally. Randy helped me sort out the cards and I was out of the store within a few minutes. Both Shawn and Randy are very personable and gave me an overview of the perks of being an iDcard holder. The deal that initially sold me was the one for Ryan's Bar & Grill. HAPPY HOUR prices from 4pm - CLOSE Sun -Thurs for iDcard member and 3 guests (4 persons per iDcard). Ryan's has long been my favorite restaurant for happy hour with my girlfriends. However, we often miss out on the HH window due to having to accommodate multiple schedules. Now that I have the iDcard, I can enjoy HH deals all night long! My other favorite spots like DASH Gastropub and Cactus Bistro are also iDcard participants. Shawn mentioned that he sends out emails every Friday to include updated deals around town. Also, these cards expire one year from the time of purchase. I was under the impression it was a "2014" card and buying one in May would only give me a few months of savings. Nope, it's a full year of savings!

IDcard There are few magic secrets that different organizations have. The Elks have secret handshakes and call signs. The mob has secrets upon secrets inside the cops, small businesses, and secret drops in local stores. And Yelpers have the IDcard- the best kept secret. I'm a coupon guy and bargain hunter in general. I look for a deal when I can, I know I am not perfect but who is? The IDcard is one of those rare items that can be really useful to those that shop in the stores that accept it. For example, in Ward there is Menchies, Kakaako Kitchen and Dairy Queen that I know of off the top of my head. I don't think I have ever seen coupons for these here in HI (I remember DQ coupons but back in Chicagoland area only), but they do have discounts with the idcard. If people complain and say- yeah but it doesn't go for my favorite store... then there is a simple solution, volunteer to make the connection for idcard for next years promotion. Yes that is right - if you want to complain- stop and do something about it. It is really a sales thing, the owners/ workers at idcard go to get different businesses to join the promotion for a year, the names of those restaurants and shops are on the idcard website and people can take advantage of it when they get the card and shop at those locations. I too know it isn't perfect but I am not complaining. I think it is a wonderful idea and if I thought of it yeah the stores would be different but I know how much hard work goes into the idea and the production of maintaining website/ good relationships with store owners/ and getting promotions to get more customers into local businesses. All in all, you and everyone has to hand it to the idcard for making a good card that is usable. It's kinda like the entertainment book- but that is jam packed with stuff no one would ever use ever and a few really good coupons/ there are tradeoffs and this is the way that they have started and continue to do great marketing for here in HI. Easy o buy the cards too. There are deals too if you buy in bulk- If you wanted for a womens or mens group or as a party favor for an event... there are larger discounts when buying the cards.
