Is a taste card worth it?

Recently got an ad for tastecard. I had one years ago, but wondering if anyone has recently purchased/used one and if its worth the monthly £7.99 a month? 
Me and my kids eat out a lot but unsure whether I would use it.

    You can get an annual pass for about £30. If you use Prezzo and the like, then yes it’s worth it. We saved over £100 in 12 months. Also you get 25% off many coffee shops

    Depends how much you eat out and whether the restaurants you go to accept it.

    Would make zero sense for my wife and I.
    Know what you don't

    Do you have access to any of the voucher schemes through employment such as Reward Gateway, Remus, Perkbox and the like?  These can sometimes offer dining discount vouchers and avoid the need to pay the subscription.
  • Old post, but if you take advantage of the Meerkat meals offer (along with meerkat movies) from compare the market, a lot of those same restaurants offered by tastecard are on there.

    Sadly it's pretty slim pickings for restaurants in my area, I get a tastecard through work for £2.50 a month but have only used it once. Tastecard also offers discounts on days out, but a lot of those offers are available outside of the tastecard via independent voucher schemes or just the site's own promotion.

    IMO paying full price for it is not worth it
