the citycard for manchester costs £55 a year

Hi Jillie

I'd double check that as I ordered one yesterday through the website and it was £36.50 (or 30 something anyway, definately not £55).

It seems good though from the website, one of those things where you get what you pay for I suppose. I'd rather pay £30 odd for something which saves me a few hundred quid a year than £5 for a card which saves me £1 off a local swimming pool I'd never use.

The mrs is already making bookings for the theatre early next year, which saves us £15 on 2 tickets, and also booked a meal next week which she reckons will save 4 of us about £30. If that's the case its not bad at all, but I'll let you know how we get on!

Possibly shave a few extra pounds off if you went to The University of Manchester by entering manalumni in the referral box on the signup page (no idea if code is current)

This will get you £20 off the 12 month rate - bringing it down to £35 for the year
