Similar to the taste card. You get 2 for 1 or up to 50% off your bill at 6000 restaurants in the UK (Prezzo, Cafe Rouge, Aubage even Pizza Hut) you do have to be a paying member of the site (it's £1.99 a month- I signed up so I could get a cheap Merlin card) I've used it in Prezzo and even a few places that were not listed on the site, works well, sometimes they offer you 2-4-1 on meal sometimes its a percentage off the bill

- Prezzo gave me 35% off food and drinks, so a bit of a WIN:beer: Makes up for the cost of their 'italian lager'

    I thought this was a great sounding offer. But sorry - How is it free if you have to pay £1.99 a month to get it?

    It isn't - but this is the Freebies (Low Spend) Board, so it's not supposed to be totally free. Totally free freebies are on another board.

    Having said that I'm not sure that paying £1.99 a month would be worth it, just for this. The website (https://www.123save.co.uk) is one of those that list loads of generic freebies but tempt you to subscribe to their better 'Choice' selection - for which you have to pay. I'm never comfortable with that type of site - and many of the paid offers are available elsewhere free if you've the time to dig around.

    But maybe you could subscribe, get the Gourmet Card offer, and then cancel? Not that anyone would do that...

    EDIT: Or join their free version where they give a totally free 3-month trial of the Gourmet Society Card (though they'll take your card details so you have to remember to cancel...)

    This is the low-spend board - there is a no spend required board here ---> http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.php?f=37

    OK...why exclaim, 'FREE'. You say you knew by the very fact you put it on the right board that it was not free, so why did you claim it was?

    It is 49p plus return P&P for up to 2m use provided you cancel within this time. If you have a VISA card go through their site, discussed below -

    [I got mine by quoting my nationwide debit card; so it does not need to be a credit card]
