Had me a pint of St Austell Tribute in Bonapartes, Bristol TM‡ earlier today. Still 20% discount. Wahey!

Seems the card is alive and well.
Received a new one in the post over the weekend.
The blurb promises more offers "in the coming months".
We shall see.

Back in January 2014 I received my new BITE card with the promise of exciting rewards coming soon. Then in June, when the discount was reduced from 20% to 10%, there was similar blurb emailed out to some registered BITE card users. The only offer I've received was a voucher for a free pint, and that was, " Here Mr ***** is the first of many exciting rewards - more coming soon!" Nothing exciting since, except in the post in the past couple of days, a new new BITE Card, exactly like the old BITE Card. Same 16 digit number as my existing one. Identical in every detail. I've dug out the covering letter from January 2014. It's the same also.    |

The new card does have a new issue date.  Clearly I forgot the earlier messages. Short term memory loss is setting in obviously. |

I haven't received anything from Bite Card for a long time now (neither email nor post).
After my ^8.50 Whopper meal in Ibiza Airport, I though it couldn't get any worse. Clearly spoke too soon. 69kr (about ^5.71) for a sandwich/roll thing at Upper Crust in G^teborgs centralstation.
I've pretty much given up on SSP outlets now. Unless you are captive (i.e. at an airport), you can generally get a better selection of food at more reasonable prices just outside the immediate vicinity of larger station.

Got my new Bite card on Saturday. It's almost identical to the previous one. It now has a QR▸ code on the back as well as a mag stripe. Don't know if the QR code is unique to me, containing my card number or if it's just a generic one pointing to their web site. Will have to check at some point.

I, too, received a letter, from 'faye' the Cardholders Champion at Bite, on Saturday.  It enclosed a card, identical in every respect to my previous card, except for the new issue date and the QR▸ code on the reverse. |

I wonder when the 'other offers' will start spamming me?

The covering letter says,  Hmm. "This will become your passport to even MORE value over the coming months." So, they're going to reverse their previous reduction in the rate of discount from 20% to 10%, then? Somehow, I doubt it. |

I was assuming that they were going to announce new brands that would participate.

Fair point. However, the BITE card already seems to cover most of the Select Service Partner Ltd UK▸ railway station catering outlets - Camden food co; Millie's Cookies; Upper Crust; nam-po! noodles & sushi; Pumpkin; Bars on stations; The Pasty Shop; Delice de France; Burger King and Caff^ Ritazza. Are there any others? |

Outside the station perhaps? Who or what is Travelwise?

'Mouth watering 10% off'. Who are they trying to fool when the discount used to be 20%.

The covering letter that I received doesn't have anything by way of an address, a registered office or company number details - I thought that you had to put these on nowadays?
