What Pairchute Was
Pairchute launched around 2016 as a paid membership app ($9.99/month) for exclusive food and drink deals around Downtown LA — things like free drinks with an entree, 2-for-1 cocktails, and free winery tastings. New members got their first month for $5 with the promo code HAPPY5, which is what this page originally covered.
We couldn’t find any live trace of Pairchute today. Its old domain, pairchute.com, was registered by a completely different company (an unrelated file-transfer tool) only in the last couple of weeks — a strong sign the original owners let the domain lapse rather than that it’s the same business under new branding. There’s also no Pairchute listing on the App Store or Google Play under that name. Between those two signals, we’re treating the program as discontinued rather than just quiet.
We’re keeping the code HAPPY5 here for the record and for search purposes, but we have no way to confirm it still works anywhere — we couldn’t find a live Pairchute checkout to test it against. Don’t count on it.

What to Use Instead: Rush49
If what you actually wanted from Pairchute was a way to find discounted things to do around LA, Rush49 is the best match we currently have a working link for. It’s a deals marketplace for experiences — escape rooms, tastings, museums, shows, and local attractions — with a strong footprint in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Las Vegas, and Sacramento. Our Rush49 link currently applies a $5 new-customer credit automatically, no code needed, verified working as of this check. It leans more toward activities than restaurant deals specifically, but it’s the closest living equivalent we can point you to with confidence.
For general local deals (restaurants, services, and everything else) beyond just experiences, Groupon is still operating too, though we don’t currently have a tracked affiliate link for it on this site.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Pairchute still around?
We couldn’t find any evidence it is. Its old domain now belongs to an unrelated company (registered within the last two weeks), and there’s no app listing for it on either app store as of this check (July 2026).
Does the HAPPY5 promo code still work?
We can’t confirm it does — we couldn’t find a live Pairchute app or site to test it against. We’re leaving it here for the historical record, not as a working offer.
What’s the closest alternative to Pairchute now?
Rush49 is the closest living option we have a verified, working link for, especially if you’re in the LA/SF/Vegas/Sacramento area. It’s activities-and-experiences focused rather than restaurant-deals focused, so it’s not a perfect match, but it’s real and current.
