What worries me is one person leasing 4 Country Clubs and a restaurant. If anything happens to him...

I am certain he has a Succession Plan in place. The Loyalty Card and offers like it never interest m because essentially it is based on a contract. I can tell you the number of contract disputes I was involved in over my corporate life.
As attorneys say contracts were made to be broken. No thanks

A further insult to our intelligence: there are 2 spelling errors in the first paragraph of the FAQs.

Why is it an insult to our intelligence and not a simple honest mistake?

So what exactly are the perks of the card? I saw a print ad with $3 margaritas with the loyal tee card. Are they no longer offering $3 margaritas to anyone? Not seeing the value yet of this card. Anyone else see the value?

What strikes me as oddity in this whole program is that I must PAY them to be loyal to them!

And it is a $20 per year fee? Are you kidding me?

I can see some value in being able to make reservations at four country club restaurants in high season.
However call-ahead dining is very different - it usually means call and wait.
There are a lot of good restaurants in TV. At this time of year, many offer $100 gift cards with a bonus $20 "free" card to the purchaser.

Purchased 2 $100.00 gift cards from Cody's and got $20.00 extra for each.
20 percent return!
Purchased $50.00 gift card from Ricchiardis and got an extra $10.00.
Received a $100.00 gift card from Bone Fish.
Guess where we will be dining.
Lopez which includes Hemingways has a $20.00 Loyalty card which does not expire and includes 10 percent off at lunch.
We have already gotten free food that covered the fee.

One FAQ they didn't answer....so, you have a loyal tee card and treat your fellow golfers to the December special of $1.50 draft beer.... As long as the cardholder is paying are the special drink prices applicable to everyone in the group or just to the one cardholder? The credit perk wasn't that enticing...I was thinking of getting the card for the promised drink and food specials.

Spelling errors...........much ado about nothing.

I read about the cards and decided the offer would not work for us but it sure won't stop me from going to the restaurants. It is a sales promo that you can choose to buy into or not.
It sounds like mary amelia was either given incorrect information to entice her to buy the card, or the reservation perks were subsequently removed. Both seem like sketchy business practices to me.

blue72 12-14-2014 02:17 PM

We bought the card. We will certainly make the $20.00 back on drink price discounts throughout the year.
I didn't know about the Lopez card, we now will consider that one too.
Thanks:clap2:

The CC restaurants are private business's. It has nothing to do with the amenity's of Rec Centers or pickle ball courts.

Great business decision on owners end.

raynan 12-14-2014 09:54 PM

There are $1.50 draft beers for the month of Dec. Every month there'll be a different special for loyalty card holders and the benefit of reservations for 4 or more, especially during high season, were what made me buy the card. The monthly discount specials will sometimes be for food and sometimes for drinks. I thought it was worth a try. We have more than paid for the card with Lopez several times over. If Fred's card is not worth it, I won't buy it again.

I don't pay for my loyalty....you earn my loyalty:spoken:
