Kids Pass - AVOID!!

There is a scheme called Kids Pass that, for a discounted membership £19 instead of £59), you can get two for one offers, kids eat free etc etc...
All well and good you may think, but you don't get the full participant list unless you pay the membership fee. Once you do this then you get access to the app and the offers.
However each offer I have tried has actually either just been a weblink to the theme parks site where the discount offer is available to anyone anyway, or for example, the Kids eat Free on Friday offer for Frankie and Benny's is actually also available to anyone.
They also offer a referral scheme where you earn money for referring people.
What a waste of £19 as all the offers I have gone for are things I could just get from the companies website direct.
Just a giant pyramid scheme and incredibly misleading as advertising "Members Only" offers that are actually anything but.... Don't waste your money.

I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019. Worked for indies as well as the big networks, in their stores also in contact centres. I also hold a degree in telecoms engineering so I like to think I know what I’m talking about 😂

Is it really a pyramid scheme - do members have to recruit new members?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

They're financially incentivised to do so by plastering referral codes on social media - but they're not allowed to mention what discounts are available....I spent 25 years in the mobile industry, from 1994 to 2019.

Most companies market by showing You how marvellous their company/product is.
Any company you have to buy into before you see what you get means that, if you could see it, you wouldn't buy it...0
