Tastecard

You can get a years Taste Card membership from £1.50 on e bay at the moment. It was a Carphone Warehouse offer, free years tastecard with a PAYG phone and various people seem to be selling the voucher. I paid £2, code by e mail filled in the form and a week later got the card.

I didn't get the tastecard, so i tried a different company in called gourmet society i think, not as many places registered. However i now live in Stockholm! If anyone wants it, message me. I won it on madbid for 1p with £4.99 postage.


Thanks,

I got mine with the 3 month trial - I used it at Ask a couple of times and another independent local restaurant.
It was most useful at a pub just up the road from where we were staying on holiday - the food was 50% off with the tastecard and it was of a very high standard.
Used it 5 times in total and was sorry when it expired.

My family & I LOVE Tastecard and it has saved us HEAPS & is the only way we can afford to eat out now!

We do the same , especially on a weekday , just ring & book for 10 mins later for our local one ( we practically live there now it is so cheap with the discount )

I have only had problems once , pre-booked , they said yes we accept Tastecard for 50% off but when we GOT THERE they said no as there is already a 'special menu' ( unlimited rodeo grill ) so there will be no discounts!

It was my exes Birthday treat meal for me at a restaurant I had been itching to try so as he said he didn't mind we went ahead and ate there anyway

What really annoys me is that restaurants can just opt out without warning. Was going to GBK in Canary Wharf on a weekly basis with my Tastecard until one day it just turns out they don't accept it anymore...

I've just renewed for my second annual Tastecard.
As a matter of course, I always ask on entry into a restaurant if I can use my Tastecard (even if it doesn't specify pre-booking is required) and no batted eyelids as yet.
Personally, having the card has saved me a lot and I've had 100% positive experience with it.

I got a "free" year's Tastecard by changing currency with ICICI a couple of months ago. The exchange rate wasn't the best available, but did mean that I effectively for a year's Tastecard for under £20.

It is a quite full of uninspiring chain restaurants, but there are a few interesting places on there (personal favourites include Tierra Peru in Islington and The Hill in Greenwich). I've already saved over £100 with it.

I found the same - it's embarrasing.
changed now from an annual tastecard to a Hi-Life Go smartphone app which is free for a month and then lets you pay as you go and just top up whenever you want for only £1.99 a month - perfect coz then if im not eating out that month i doesnt cost me anything.

I have a Tastecard and have used it to save a small fortune. For my wife's birthday last year and last Sunday I took 14 people to Prezzo in Shepperton, and I paid for the food using my tastecard, (and a Tastecard from a friend as each card covers 6 people) and saved £159 in food in one go. We have done this twice, so if you are having a birthday bash seriously use a Tastecard.

It was better value using a taste card than the print off voucher, as the voucher restricts choices and does not save you as much (would have cost £70 more from my rough calculation).

Prezzo in Shepperton were very good for a large group, and did the cake thing for us as well, so many thanks to them. I did book in advance, and check what days are Tastecard days.
