    • If you have not yet redeemed an unexpired voucher and you would like a refund, please contact Steals customer service: steals@StarTribune.com If you have already redeemed your voucher and your question relates to the specific product or experience, please contact the merchant. Please note that Star Tribune is not the merchant and is not legally responsible for any products or services, or any merchant’s compliance with a Steal that you have purchased.
  6. I missed yesterday's deal. Can I still get it? back to top
    • No. The only way to purchase another voucher for this specific merchant’s goods or services would be to wait for the merchant to offer another Steal.
  7. Are taxes included when I purchase a voucher? back to top
    • No. Sales tax will be collected, where applicable, upon redemption by the individual merchants who offered the Steal.
  8. Is gratuity included when I purchase a voucher? back to top
    • If gratuities are included in the purchase price, this will be made clear on the offer page. If not mentioned, gratuities are not included. Please make note of any relevant redemption details and please read the fine print carefully.
  9. What if my voucher has expired? back to top
    • Vouchers are redeemable for goods/services only for a specified period of time. Once that promotional period has reached its expiration date, the voucher no longer has its full stated value. However, many merchants are still willing to honor the deal. Please contact the merchant and ask if they will honor the voucher. If the merchant will not honor the full stated value of the voucher after the promotional period, the merchant will still honor the voucher up to the amount that you actually paid for it. The amount you paid for the voucher never expires. For more information about the terms and conditions governing Steals and Vouchers, please see our current Terms of Sale.
