Really ?? With all of the chaos & awful things going on in the world today, the important topic is complaining about something that you "aren't" going to buy. I don't get it, but I guess to each their own.
I say, just don't buy it and let it be.
Hi Bonny: I can explain why the loyalty card is getting so much buzz and attention. it is because people are free to say what they want about it.....unlike other topics that are broadly defined as political by moderators and subject to deletions of posters comments or closing of threads. Why is it some posts go on in infinity?

I get it if people want to complain about it and say it's not worth it. On that, to each their own.
The part that bothers me is when people say they are going to boycott all of those restaurants because they don't like it.

I think they'll change their minds when they realize their ovens have never been used and they would be eliminating a good meal over some ridiculous idea.

Hi dbussone: You make a good point but there are some of us who cook just about 365 days a year. I cook breakfast sometimes dinner and my wife cooks most dinners. We just continue our our lifestyle into retirement and so the Loyalty Cards would be a waste of money for our family and as to alcohol well we prefer to waste our calories on dessert. To each his/her own live and let live

Personal Best Regards":

Rubicon - like you, my wife and I prepare most of our meals. Quite honestly I think our cooking is better than that at some restaurants in the area. I don't anticipate buying a card either. However, I have enjoyed "watching" some of our fellow posters going off the deep end, so to speak.

Best wishes to you and yours for a healthy and successful 2015!

Someone said that $3 martini's were available again without buying a Discount Card.
I called Bonifay and a card is required to get the $3 price for a martini.

If the only person you dine with at these restaurants is your SO then don't buy one. Get on line and wait for a table because the wait won't be too long.

But if you want to go to the front of the line with a reservation for your group, buy one. Your friends will appreciate your thoughtfulness.

My friend bought one and I appreciate having a table after our group plays golf; winter, spring, summer or fall. All she has to do is call, and we'll be there. She's got a card. Ain't it good to know she's got a card.

Now I bet this can be arranged!

"You are what you eat",,,seems fitting here,,,and it seems you, unfortunately are"eating crow'...sorry you had the problem. Your 'loyalty' should be rewarded by good food at reasonable prices,without being a card holding member. Gimmicks are never what they purport to be, thus, they are ..gimmicks..I sure won't go there if they lie to me,either,which is seems they did. Good Luck, and good eating.

Just curious. What did they "lie" about ?

Doesn't that card work differently though?

We too purchased a Loyal Tee card in December and retained the brochure they gave out with it. It states "PRIORITY SEATING - RESERVATIONS AVAILABLE FOR GROUPS AS SMALL AS 4 GUESTS WITH 24 HOUR NOTICE.

Now the website as well as the restaurants are quoted as changing this to...30 minute before PROPRIETY SEATING. NO MORE RESERVATIONS - definitely a switch. I will not repurchase this card due to these deceptive practices.
