We have a loyaltee card which has paid for itself many times only. $3 margaritas and martiniis. This month is $1.50 beer. They no longer take reservations, but they will put your name on the list when you call. We decided to buy the card. Others don't have too.

How do you get a card? We'll be back in June and it sounds like a great offer, depending on the cost of the card.

Someone posted the site with the info so I won't repeat all the info. It is $20. The person with the card has to pay for the drinks. Even when going Dutch, who cares about $1.50 or $3.00. Not sure if the cards expire on 12-31 or a year after you buy it. We puchased midJanuary so it didn't matter to us. You will have to drink twice as much as us, but I trust you are up to the challenge.

How is this any different from any other Premium Memberships? One that comes to mind is Amazon Prime. Excellent value.

What about the widely used Discount Books? What is wrong with purchasing access to special benefits and pricing?

I believe they have stopped selling the loyalty cards.

If they just would have named it a "Discount Drink Card" it would have saved a lot of keyboarding.

Bought the card love it. If you don't like it don't buy it. It's not mandatory.

Of course its not the product as such its the reasoning behind its purchase. If you frequent these establishments then the card would be of value.
