I read with interest the fact that as club members we can get 20% discount at Roadchefs. But you have to print a voucher. We don't have a printer and for 20% it is not worth the walk to the library then the 20p per sheet to print. Why on earth is it a voucher there is this really nice thing called a smart phone or just use the membership card as the AA do for discount t in the other services chain.

    Great example of what needs fixing. I suggest you pose the question via email direct - and await a response, then please share it with us 😀.

    I would agree. Also when I printed the voucher it took up a whole sheet of A4.

    Until, if ever they fix it, there is a road chef app which gets you daily deals at the various outlets, by showing the offer on the phone. Not as good as 20% off anything but better than nothing.

    For all we know having the voucher printed off is a requirement of Roadchef? The company I worked for until retirement arranges lots of offers for current staff and pensioners. With some of the offers we just need to show our staff/pensioner ID but for others we have to print off a voucher.  The same is the case with the Caravan and Motorhome Club. If I use the M6 Toll I just have to show my membership card, the same is true of Go Outdoors this is what leads me to think that it might be a Roadchef requirement perhaps in order to collate how often and how much the offer costs?

    With the rebranding will those retail outlets etc that are part of the discount scheme accept the new CC membership cards, with the unrecognisable logo? Have they all been informed of the change?
