Tastecard review by UoG student, Lily

“I made some great savings with my tastecard when I went with my friend to the Brewery Quarter in Cheltenham. We went to the cinema and only paid about £7 each for tickets which was really good. Afterwards we got discounted drinks from Caffè Nero.

In the evening we went to Frankie and Benny’s making the most of a 2 for 1 deal. Overall, the tastecard is very good in terms of discounts, and easy to use too!”

Lily smiling at the camera, putting two thumbs up with her burger, enjoyed as part of a 2 for 1 deal using a tastecard.
