Discounts are valid for one use, unless otherwise noted. Your card is located in the front of your book and is non-transferable. There is a replacement charge for lost cards.

  Buy-One-Get-One-Free Discounts
 
  When purchasing two or more main-course entrees or menu items, the restaurant will deduct the least expensive main-course entree or menu item, up to the stated maximum value on the discount. For restaurants offering one complimentary "menu item" when a second is purchased, a "menu item" is considered a main-course menu item.

  50%-Off Discounts
 
  If the discount states 50% off, you'll receive 50% off the designated item, up to the stated maximum value on the discount.
 
...Back to Top
  Dining Alone Option
 
  Some restaurants include a "when dining alone" option clearly stated in their discount offers. These are valid only when dining alone and may not be used when individual diners join other people at a table.

  Dining in Groups
 
  When more than two people dine together, the following guidelines apply:
 
  One bill per table (no separate checks), unless it’s the restaurant's standard policy.
  Only one card/coupon may be used for every two people, up to a maximum of three cards/coupons per party.
  The least expensive entrees or menu items in the party are complimentary, up to the stated maximum value on the discount.

  Dining with Children
 
  Discounts do not apply to children's menu items. When dining with children, you must purchase two or more adult-priced main-course entrees or menu items in order to get one free, up to the stated maximum value on the discount.

  Movies
 
  Please carefully follow the instructions on your movie coupons. Occasionally, some movie houses are obligated by studio contracts to exclude certain special attractions when accepting movie coupons. If in doubt, call the theater or check your local newspaper.

  Frequent ValuesSM
 
  Frequent Values discounts are valuable, ongoing discounts for 20% off the total bill or selected/featured items, excluding tax, tip, alcohol and sale items, with a maximum discount value of up to $25. Frequent Values cannot be combined with any other discount or promotion. Only one card or coupon is valid per party with a maximum discount value of $25. Some fine dine merchants may offer a buy-one-get-one-free discount and an ongoing 20%-off discount. In this case, the buy-one-get-one-free discount must be redeemed before the ongoing 20%-off discount. Click here for a list of Frequent Value discounts in your area.

  Free Offers
 
  In most cases, to qualify for a free offer or complimentary item, you must purchase goods or services from the merchant making the offer. Such offers may not be used in conjunction with any other discount or awards program/offer.

  For satisfactory service, the tip should equal 15-20% of the TOTAL BILL before the discount is subtracted.
