Not had any Emails from SSP. Then again when they did the buy 4 'Lower' Crust meals get a free cineworld ticket I never got that Email as well.
I also have a 30% "privilege card" for millies cookies which works at all branches not just the station ones. I wonder if that discount is going to be cut considering the back of the card has a get out clause on it.

Still no emails - and still getting 20% at SSP outlets - this time at Canterbury West this morning.
Staff there looked very surprised & have heard nothing when I told them some card holders had received notification of the discount dropping to 10%. They have been told nowt so far. So its not happening any time soon.

I did get the cineworld email, but have not received anything yet about the 10%. I ticked the box for "Extra Bite - News/Offers/Etc" on my application so would expect to get all messages. |

Used my Bite card today for the first time in a few months. It was only to buy a bottle of water from Delice de France at Paddington. Was ^1.60, became ^1.28 after swiping my card. Still expensive I know but that's a 20% discount.
Could it be possible that different cardholders get different discounts? The card has to be swiped so perhaps there's a code on the stripe that determines the discount.

It appears that the discount is either 10% or 20%. No rhyme or reason as far as I can tell except that I was told in Bonapartes (Bristol TM‡) that they are still offering 20% as their till system is yet to be updated. As far as I can tell, every other SSP outlet at Bristol (Upper Crust, Pumpkin, Pasty Shop) is 10%. Perhaps it's just a case that systems aren't yet updated in all SSP outlets. Or equally, some outlets will give 20% going forward, others 10%. Incidentally, I was told this evening that Bonapartes on Platform 3 at Bristol TM is shortly to be re-branded as 'The Beer House'. Adding to the list of same named licensed premises across major UK▸ stations. http://www.foodtravelexperts.com/uk/brand-profile/1/0/16/the-beer-house/Gonna miss calling it Boney Parts, Blownaparts...  |

I'm with BNM, the discount seems random.
In a further blow to SSP customers, the new loyalty cards at Pumpkin now require 9 stamps to get a free drink, as opposed to 5.

The V&A pub at Marylebone has stopped accepting the BITE card.
'Shortly' to introduce their own loyalty scheme, sayeth a bar tender.

But I have only been able to get a 10% discount since the previous time they issued that email....not good.

I've only been getting 10% in almost every SSP outlet since June. The one exception being Bonaparte's at Bristol Temple Meads. Not been in there for over a week though so no idea if they've finally updated their tills and are no longer processing the 20% discount manually. I was told by a staff member that it was likely to remain at 20% there until they complete their re-branding to 'The Beer House'.
Notwithstanding that it was just a barman telling me that. Management may decide otherwise.

Yep, got this email. Strange how I never got any of the others earlier this year.
Incidentally, was SSP previously known as SAS Service Partner? That's SAS the airline not the elite army unit.

Yesterday I paid ^2.40 for a hamburger (just a plain burger) and ^8.50 for a Whopper Meal in a SSP operated Burger King outlet at Ibiza Airport. I wonder if anyone has seen any UK▸ -based SSP outlets that have this much of a mark-up compared to the high street? |
