Restaurant.com not worth it

BEWARE DO NOT sign up with these people. They do not honor their contract and it is a hassle. They believe they have a satisfactory status on the BBB, which I think is ridiculous of them. Hey, BBB, exactly how many complaints have to be filed before you begin to protect the public like you are supposed to?
Here is their file on the BBB:
