The Tamarind Club, Tortola

Advantages: Save money on something you were going to do anyway
Disadvantages: Waistline!

...Do you know what? They made it better! It's still the same price, but they now give a voucher for a free bottle of Proseco (Italian sparkler) with your membership every year when you renew (or two for a joint membership) and you can now submit a members questionnaire every quarter for a £10 voucher. This all just makes this great scheme even better! *** This is a bit of an addicts club (could have been called 'Pizza Anonymous' I suppose) but I am a big fan of it. Now in my 5th year of continuous membership, I continue to enjoy the benefits - and the pizza - and heartily recommend it. *It works like this?* Membership is £40 per annum for one person, £80 per annum for a couple. Four times a year, each member is sent a voucher, valid for the quarter, which can be used at any time in any Pizza Express restaurant in the UK... Read review

Advantages: 3 points per pound spent = 3% off voucher
Disadvantages: combining club points with 10% student discount doesn't work

...[Esprit: French, from Latin spiritus, English: spirit] ESPRIT are an international fashion chain with a number of outlets in the UK, mainly in and around the London area.

I have become a regular visitor to the ESPRIT stores (plus I occasionally order online) and one of the first things I did was to sign up to their loyalty card scheme. What is the ESPRIT Club Card Like so many loyalty cards, you are hoping to get something for nothing, not realising that to receive rewards you have to put in time and money. ESPRIT Club is a loyalty card system that allows you to collect loyalty points... Read review

Advantages: Excellent service and food
Disadvantages: The parking!

...After a week of stresses and strains the grandparents whisked the children away so me and Alan had a chance for a lovely dinner out. After mulling for a while we drove to Tamarind, a fairly new Indian restaurant in the Downend area of Bristol. There is no parking at the front of the restaurant but at the rear there is a large car park attached to the Somerfield supermarket, but I've got something to tell you about that later! I'd also had a leaflet dropped through my door detailing the lots of delicious sounding dishes. Not in Tamarind will you find dark rooms, red light bulbs and those little booths. Tamarind is open, bright and very cheerful. The whole restaurant is in colours of white, cream and green, not entirely cosy, but not stark either. There is, of course, the obligatory pictures of Indian landmarks. You are escorted to... Read review
