Disclaimer: I post the deals as I find them. All deals are subject to change at any time and without notice. If you see a post that sounds too good to be true, check with the merchant before you head out.

National deals are only good at “participating locations.” You should always check with your preferred location to make sure they’re participating before heading out.

Privacy Policy: We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. If you would like more information about this practice and to know your choices about not having this information used by these companies, click here.

Affiliate Links: Some of the deals posted on Myrtle Beach on the Cheap include affiliate links (e.g., Groupon, Living Social, Restaurant.com). What does that mean to you? Not much. The deal is still the same for you, and using our links won’t cost you any extra. What does that mean for us? We get a little bit of money for the referral.

As always, we will continue to post what we think are the best deals, whether or not they include an affiliate link. But like everyone else, we have to pay the bills. So if you do download a coupon or use our links to take advantage of a deal, thank you!
