In doing my general research and planning, I've found the following as a general rule of thumb regarding the level of discounting:
BEST: Hawaii Savers' eBay auctions where you can typically get 2:1 activities including luau, ATV tours, horseback riding and dining gift certificates at substantial savings.
NEXT BEST: Shell TS presentation "Diamond Card" (someone posted a PDF of their program discounts, I think on TS4Ms, making it easy to compare apples to apples on the activities/tours)
Good: Entertainment Book or Hawaii Savers Discount Card (they are very comparable but do have some different offerings)
Discounted, better than nothing: Activtity's website or discount brokers (like Barefoot's)
Overpriced: Several "brokers" actually have the tours plus a mark up. Be careful when you're on their websites.
I'm sure I've not found everything out there that is available so hopefully others will add to this in order to provide folks with an idea of where to look for the better/best deals.
