    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Discounted meals, fantastic surroundings, superb service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some restaurants may only permit the offer once a year on the membership.

    As a young couple just getting into the commitment area that is life i.e House, Wedding etc life's little treats we becoming few and far between, that is until I came across an offer on a discount website promoting the Hi-Life Diners Club. The Hi-Life Diners club is a great opportunity for those that dine out reguarly and features high class restaurants including Est, Est, Est, The Fat Cat, The Slug and Lettuce, Brewers Fayres, Nandos, The Living Room, Tiger Tiger and many many more. I mentioned the offer to my partner who initially thought it to be a good idea but it was forgotten about until ... more

    5 Stars Live the Hi Life at half the price 01/03/2002
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great money saver

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Restaurants not in all areas

    I have been a member of Hi LIfe Diners Club for approximately 4 years now and I think that it is excellent value for money. Basically, when you join the Hi Life club you are sent a Hi Life card and restaurant directory. The directory lists hundreds of restaurants including a short description of what the restaurant is like, what you can expect to pay etc. Each restaurant offers a different deal on production of your Hi Life card, such as buy 3 courses get 3 for free, 50% reduction from the food bill, complimentary main course, 25% reduction from the food bill, and so on. The card is like a ... more

    2 Stars Join Hi-Life - and be treated as low-life 17/11/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Some good value meal deals to be had (Caffe Uno recommended)

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Limited availability of dining; Embarrassment caused by use of card

    I'm just coming to end of my 2nd and probably last year as a member of the Hi-Life Card scheme. The concept is a very good one - but unfortunately, the real-life experience of using the card doesn't match the advertsing hype. For around £40 - 50 a year you get a card and a directory of participating restaurants for your local area (North West/Yorkshire/N Ireland or NE England). The idea is then that you can use the card to get 2-4-1 meals (up to 3 courses) at mainly off-peak times and days of the week. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, one is often made to feel like a cheapskate for ... more

    1 Star Poor service from this company, hound you when you want to cancel 09/12/2011
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap food if you can find somewhere that is open or doesnt limit you

    Disadvantages Disadvantages website incorrect, reviews are biased, substandard complaints dept, harrass you when they want £

    myself and two of my friends signed up for the hi life free trials earlier this year, we dine out quite a lot with our families and thought they would be useful. The cards took nearly a month to arrive but were dated to when we signed up effectively ensuring we didnt get the full trial, and when we chased them up they never responded to our emails. Eventually we got them though and decided to use them as stated. We found that out of the 9 places we tried to visit, 3 were closed down with no reference to this on the site, 2 refused to acknowledge they accepted the hilife card, and 3 of them ... more

    1 Star Hi Life- The bain of the Restaurateurs life 18/07/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Not many

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Driving the proffit out of the industry

    I was reading some reviews on Ciao as a none member and just had to comment on the Hi life members club. This was after having recently read a review by a former Hi-Life member (peter I think), and I thought that as somebody who has worked in the industry myself for many years in a number of North West Hi life restaurants, I should add my opinion. From somebody who has dealt with umpteen bookings from hi-life members, I can confirm that there definately is a 'type'. It seems that although they are essentially getting their meal half price that they always make more complaints than anybody else ... more
