SmarterCard membership

What Our Members Are Saying

I have always enjoyed using my Smarter Card Vouchers - the savings are huge - I wouldnt be without mine as the variety of offers are endless.

Mrs. Trudy Simmons Billericay, Member since Nov 2010 ID:3964/6080

Saving with my SmarterCard is easy and we have saved hundreds of pounds dining at popular local restaurants. I happily recommend SmarterCard to anyone that dines out occasionally especially as you can use your vouchers during the weekend.

We have been members of SmarterCard for more than 5 years now and enjoy the discounts we get as we eat out 2 or 3 times a month with our friends. We normally recoup the cost of the book in the first 2 months.Well worth having.

I have been a SmarterCard member since the scheme began, and would recommend it to everyone who likes going out in the local area. It gives you the option of trying new venues without having to break the bank. If you find a particular favourite you have plenty of vouchers for return visits, and if you recommend it to your friends you both save money. I'm looking forward to seeing the new book and which new places we can try!

I have been a member of Smarter Card for the last three years and intend to remain a member for the foreseeable future. I have found the card to be excellent value and it has paid for itself several times over . I have never had a problem with the restaurants and organisations who accept this discount card and would strongly recommend its purchase.

We have used the card many times throughout the year to enjoy money off meals out. I love the fact that my daughters are able to use my card and enjoy the benefits too.

I can't believe my voucher worked on Saturday night - wow it really works. I am happily recommending SmarterCard to all my friends.

Alison Brookes Single, Legal Secretary, Horkesley. Member since. Dec 2010 ID.3964/4520

I was very skeptical at first, but all my reservations were unfounded, often find myself surprised at how easy my SmarterCard is to use and flexible especially at weekends. Special thank you to my sister Julie for recommending I join.

Diane Pretty Married, GP, 2 Children, Horndon-on-the-Hill. Member since, Oct 2010 ID.3964/9780

I first learned about SmarterCard from a friend about two years ago but didn’t join at the time. I’ve been a member since April and wished I joined sooner.

Katie Connelly Married, 2 Children, Florist, Colchester. Member since Apr 2010 ID.3964/4480

Without SmarterCard we simply couldn’t afford to do the kinds of things the family enjoy as often. We save hundreds each year.

Miranda Henny Housewife, 3 Children, Travel Agent, Billericay. Member since, Jul 2007 ID.3964/2740

Sales advisor was very professional and not pushy. SmarterCard's customer services have always been very helpful. A great service.

Membership pays for itself!

It is incredibly easy to recoup your entire membership fee, and is possible using just one voucher! More commonly members enjoy savings using 'Special Invitation' vouchers at local restaurants that deliver a 50% discount with a £30.00 saving on each occasion.

How to use your membership

When you join you shall receive a member's SmarterCard and your preferred edition of 'Restaurant And Entertainment Voucher Book'. Simply look through and choose any venue, at time of payment - you select the voucher that will save you the most and present this with your SmarterCard, your server will then make the appropriate deduction and you pay the difference - it's that easy!

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to prebook restaurants?

There is no obligation to prebook, restaurants featured welcome walk-in customers and for peace-of-mind offer a booking for parties of 8 or more. If you are visiting a fine dining restaurant or popular gastro pub and want to be assured of a table at a time convenient to you we recommend you book ahead of your visit.

Am I required to notify the restaurant of my voucher?

There is no obligation to mention your voucher and you only need present it at time of payment. In the unlikely event, say you were unsure which was the restaurants a la carte menu you might mention you have a voucher and wanted to be sure of ordering from the correct menu.

Can I use vouchers at the weekend?

Yes, all of our venues welcome vouchers 7 days a week. A few of the very popular venues may stipulate a time when your table must be vacated for use by regular paying clientele.

Can the whole family use my vouchers?

Absolutely, all vouchers are entirely transferable. In your absence simply loan your SmarterCard with a couple of vouchers to your friend and they too can enjoy making savings. We recommend that you don't give them your entire book and you will need to ensure they return the SmarterCard to you after use.

Can I use more than one voucher during the same visit?

You may use one voucher per visit, per party. If you have a large party simply choose the appropriate voucher.

Sounds great - but where's the catch?

Together SmarterCard and the featured venues have worked tirelessly to produce this membership so to be as enjoyable as possible, offering vouchers that are free of any catches to entice you to visit time after time.

If there were a catch - it might be considered as - you must always present your SmarterCard with your voucher to enjoy a discount - But that's it - promise!
