Thank you theone; Excellent! I'm off to Spoons first...

[Rvd R Swaggart]

Sounds good. Do you need a card to get the offers or is it as posted? Thanks.

Picked up ours today at the Wick Service Point (opposite The Factory Shop) used the form downloaded from theone's link, handed it over and were given the orange plastic cards "Spend Caithness Here', same size as a credit card.. went into Spoons and ordered two meals; got an instant 20% off, Mrs Beks asked what it covered and it seems all food, but not drinks. Upon checking the bill found not only the 20% discount but a further deduction classed 'January Sale'...(?)

A couple of old friends came in, told 'em about the Card, they nipped next door to the Service Point and were handed a small sheet to fill in and were handed their free cards - back in and ordered their meals..

Of course there are a whole host of other % off offers, but it was just Spoons today...

Thanks for that. Never knew such a scheme existed, have now printed my form and will be down to the service point on Monday.

Sounds good!
I have seen posters up in some shops, but, I didnt know what it was about.

Thanks for that. Never knew such a scheme existed, have now printed my form and will be down to the service point on Monday.
Seems it's a six-month trial, till end of May (we were told)

[annemarie482]

Oh well bekisman , the more we use it the more chance they'll keep it?!
Here's hoping anyway!

Tried to use mine in Spoons tonight but because 2 of us had bought curry they wouldn't accept it.
They said you already get a discount on curry night so you can't use it, yet the 3rd meal was an ordinary meal.
Strange thing is we all had curry the past 3 weeks & used it no problem!!!
