    I'm finding BLC less useful than before.

    On a recent visit to a Greene King pub we ordered a lunch deal. On trying to use my blue light discount I was told that it would be more expensive, as they wouldn't honour the lunchtime deal and we would have to pay full price for our meal. 

    I also tried to order a laptop, but although saying Lenovo had a discount it didn't include special offers, so there wasn't anything better than on the website

    This has also been my experience. I’ve had mine over a year and have not once used it as whenever I’ve tried there’s always been a better deal online/instore that the BL discount doesn’t apply to, than the BL discount on full price would be.
