    If we can leave this for people who regularly eat out in london, that would be great so that those who get best value will use it; please don't apply just for a one off. Also the cards have your name printed on them and are non-transferable (so cannot be sold on eBay).

    As this offer is all over the net, then such considerations seem pointless.

    Anyone getting a card and wanting to sell it on could do so, as the restaurants take no notice of the name printed on the card as far as identifying the card holder - just book the table in the name on the card.

    If tastelondon become aware of these sellers on ebay they only have to inform the restaurants to check ID and the cards will become useless. It's just greedy anyway.

    To do that they would need to change the ts + cs to say cardholders must carry a separate id and agree to show it along with their card. Then get these new ts + cs accepted by all existing cardholders. Then inform all the signed up restaurants (who are really only interested in bums on seats!)

    Tastelondon aren't going to be bothered if their cards turn up on ebay anyway. This promotion follows swiftly on from one just finished where the card was available for a supposed £40 off, and is good advertising for them. How many will apply and how many they will then be able to offer that same special deal to via the free trial?

    And selling freebies on ebay is just another form of moneysaving, not greed!
  • wait so, how do i get one!

    In this instance it's just selfish money grabbing greed and is indicative of a me, me, me, I'm alright jack pull the ladder up attitude.
