The Axxess card app is very difficult to open on an iPhone, since AXXESS does not seem to be recognizable. A search on my iPhone for the card feels silly results - completely irrelevant to the app. Voice searches will always bring up access, which is meaningless for this purpose. The quality of the offers has declined significantly. There used to be many more buy one get one free offers. Once you finally get the app to open, you'll find a disorganized mess. Even the people behind the counter at South Coast deli tell me their customers have a very difficult time getting the app to come up on their phone so that it can be used. Another thing we're not pleased about is that it's not easy to find local offers only; the app wants to bring up lots of restaurants in Ventura, Camarillo, Thousand Oaks, and other places other than Santa Barbara. Very discouraging. There should be a way to set Santa Barbara, for example, as the default. The card/app used to be a terrific value, but perhaps during Covid they lost their stride. I hope they'll get it back. read more

I've purchased Axxess cards many times over the years but now I cannot even see the list of participating businesses without downloadlong this Twizzel App. to do this, Twizzel wants my private cell phone number or I cannot download the app. why do they need my cell number I wonder. since I'm not giving them my number, my "Axxess card" is worthless. read more

Buyer beware!.... I purchased this card last year and used the buy 1 get 1 free deal and was told it's meant for two people. This was at McConnell's fine ice cream on state street. This guy who's the manager or owner of the business said this deal is meant for you to bring someone along and enjoy the ice cream together and not for you to come in and walk away w/two ice cream cones and pay for one ice cream cone. At the end he said come back w/a friend. He was annoyed. read more

What an amazing company. We have been using these cards for several years now and we save a ridiculous amount of money with these. Definite recommended. read more

I really did not want to leave a bad review for Axxess I did have good experience in the past. However a representative talked me into a temporary contract and later lied to me and extended my contract and double charged me fees! I deal with many vendors and have a clear idea and understanding of what we are signing up for. Not only did she lie to me she called me a liar and told me I had no choice in the matter! After I caught her in a couple lies she told me she would stop double charging me it was a mistake and then she charged me again two more double charges and refuses to take my phone calls or let me speak to any manager or supervisor!!! I've never had to deal with such unprofessionalism I would be very careful considering doing business with this agency if they get your information they will charge your debit card at will... read more

Horrible experience, I was sold a card that already been activated and these people are impossible to get a hold of, never answer the phone and there's no email contact. Stay away, I will never buy again! read more

If you live in Santa Barbara area and don't have an axxess card you're missing out!! We've saved hundreds of dollars over the years by using our axxess card-- from car washes, to oil changes, to hair cuts, cheaper movie tickets, to tons of restaurant deals-- the savings are endless! If you want to buy the movie tickets you have to go to the axxess office (note it's cheaper if you pay cash for them). You can use the card they give you or the app on your phone to redeem offers. There are deals in carp, summer land, Montecito, Santa Barbara, Goleta, all the way out to the Santa Ynez Valley area. Go spend the $40 and support local schools and nonprofits while saving yourself a ton of money and trying new places in town! read more

I have a 2022 card, bought new one for 2023, but turns out it starts on the date you activate it, not the next year. So now I lose a couple of months, especially the holidays for next year. No one returned my 3 vm. or emails. the chat finally got back to me and said, (paraphrasing lol) "yep, that's the way it is". really a small thing but I won't be buying a card anymore. I do not like to feel cheated. read more

Been using this unique discount system for years, and love it. Always end up saving multiple times the $40 cost of the card and often try things we never would just bc of the offers. Especially love the discount on movies, which makes a great gift for movie lovers. read more

I love axxess!!!! It's awesome! I save so much money every year and learn about great local merchants! I will never go without.

Before buying I looked to see if they had a map off merchants to see where they were located and found no map. If there is one there out is hard to find. I won't buy unless I can tell if members are near me by way of a seeing them onassis map. read more

I LOVE my Axxess card. I buy one every year, usually from a friend's child to support there schools or from a nonprofit I want to support. I save hundred, if not thousands of dollars every year. Easy to use and no small print, 30 day expirations or pay before you go games like other discount/bargain companies.i am now actually off to buy one as gift. read more
