  • lol...they are really not going to give a !!!!!!. Speaking from personal experience, when I worked on tills if someone flashed something in front of my face that told me to give them something free I really could not be @rsed to dispute.

    If you are that worried go to someone who looks like they've had a long day and knows what they're doing.

    Shame I haven't had a chance to use mine yet with my car breaking down and all.

    Did any of you purchase your card with the standard £2 delivery? How did the guy send it, well packaged, recorded delivery, etc?
  • was sent in a standard air-mail envelope with cover note. Don't think the seller sent it himself.

    I think that is true. For some reason I believed my Compass discount card worked in Burger King, I got 20% discount when I showed it a few times. One time a guy asked a managery looking guy and he said no they don't take it, I later checked the leaflet I got with my card and sure enough I can't see Burger King mentioned, yet some cashiers were giving me 20% discount!!

    Unlikely, as they're franchises.

    I read about these and thought nah it cant be true, so i didnt buy. But ive heard from quite a few people these things are actualyl real and working. Im tempted to bid on http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6618540808 this one on ebay, as its currently quite low. can anyone confirm it worked for them? If these do actually work, i really would be prepared to pay out a lot, as me and my family eat a lot of mcdonalds :j
    Hmmm.....your auction by any chance?! :rolleyes:

    Ooh, you cynic ;)

    I love the bit in the auction that says:
    £3.29 a meal for 365 for 40 years comes to £48,034!
    I'm 45 now; do you think if I eat McDonalds every day I'll last for 40 years? Perhaps I should err on the side of caution and only offer £20,000 for it.
    Can I help?

    THEY'RE NOT LOVIN' IT
    HUNGRY footballers are every manager's dream.

    But bosses in the top flight will be keeping tabs on their stars with eyes bigger than their bellies in September when McDonald's dish out their annual platinum cards.

    Every Premiership player used to get a gold card - free food all round, basically - when the fast-food chain was involved with the top flight, but they were withdrawn because they were never checked and too many were lending them to pals and costing McDs a fortune.

    Now only the England team and a select group of Premier League stars get the benefit ... and hopefully, soon, a few of us here at The SP.
