EasySaver Card with 7.5% instant discount + any other brand discount? Anybody?

MrHuKa

Anybody heard or used it? I have just read about this Easy Saver Card and it sounds pretty good as we can get a giftcard, load money with instant 7.5% off then spend it and get any additional promotion from retailers as well as cashback:
"The EasySaver Card is your passport to high street shopping. It is a discount card which grants you an impressive 7.5% discount at a huge array for top retail outlets. Simply load money onto the card and the discount is applied instantly (e.g. load £200 and only pay £185). It's convenient, secure and really easy to manage."
Too good to be true, do you guys think so? Anybody used it before? Need some information about this ASAP :j

Find out where the cash you pay to load the card actually goes - who holds the money and what happens if they go bust and the cards become worthless?

It does sound promising - maybe just make sure to only load the card just before you're going to use it and don't carry a balance on it? Would be interested in any feedback if you do use it.

I've had one as post of my works 'perks' for nearly two years: used it a few times without issue, but a top up can sometimes take a while to appear on the card.

I have on of these through my work, have saved loads. It can be used in so many places. The down side is that shop assistants do not seem to have seen them much and sometimes say we do not take these when they do getting them to try swiping is difficult sometimes.

My friend had and used without any problems. It seems really potential, however I have no idea where to buy or get this card as I'm still a postgraduate student. It can just be provided when you work in some organisation I guess?

Yes - it's a 'work perk'. You can't just buy one.

Ok I see. Is there any possible way I can buy the card from somebody who has it?

No - there are strong anti-fraud measures in place to prevent such a thing.
